What is Sin?


Let us take a moment to look at sin. This is a word that so many people today avoid and would like to erase from all languages. Too bad, erasing the word will not erase the issue and will only make eternity really really suck. Sin is any action that is against God, period, whether in thought or in deed. We are all sinners, as human beings we find it impossible to avoid some sort of sin in our daily life. This is what the mercy of God is all about, through Jesus the Christ we can obtain mercy and forgiveness. Far too many people today have no idea of confession of sins whether privately or publicly. The day of doom will not be a good day for those of us who choose this route of ignoring the sin, sin is not relevant to anything or anyone except to God. It is popular today to claim that what is true for me may not necessarily be true for you or anyone else.

Our creator has established a truth and it is the only relevant truth that exists, you can believe it or pay the ultimate price, we are allowed the choice of free will. Use it wisely. In creation man was created with a soul, that soul lives forever and where it lives will be determined by the choices that we make here today, through time we will look at the soul of man and the many powers that it has.

The soul has five basic powers, three of these powers are principal powers and two of these powers are secondary. The three principal powers are; memory, reason, and will. The two secondary powers are; imagination and sensuality. We will begin to look at these powers in future writings. For now allow yourself to think on this idea of sin, look at Jesus Christ to discover what is relevant to the Father. We will discover the powers of the soul soon enough. First we must understand that there is a soul, that it can be separated from not only it's own body through physical death but from it's creator through sin as well.
