Doctrine Paper on Actual Sin

Sin has become so overlooked by humanity, that the world has taken the Bible and made it a storybook. They have minimized the effect of sin with false beliefs of Jesus forgiving them even when they refuse to repent or to accept Him. Some have used the Genesis account of sin as a fable, while others have tried to eliminate the Savior Jesus’ part in the saving process. They have not even recognized the need for Jesus who sits beside the Father asking for our

II. Main Point 2. God tells us in 1 John 1: 9“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” And again in 2 Corinthians 5:17“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”

Sin is the foundation of good and evil in today’s society. Without out this factor there would be no judging in society but peacefulness everywhere. We live in a society where sin is the tool that runs our culture. When many of us consider "What is sin?" we think of violations of the Ten Commandments. Some other people consider murder, adultery, theft, etc as sins too. In the Tokens of Trust by Rowan Williams he illustrates the language of the “orginal sin” “ is a tangle that goes back to our very roots of humanity”. According to the Marriam-Webster dictionary sin is defined as an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.

While the Bible clearly shows, God alone can forgive sins, and Christ is the one Mediator between God and man, God uses men to bring about his reconciliation. Confession of sins is a ministry of reconciliation. The confession of serious or mortal sins to a priest forces your conscience to recognize your sins. Examining your conscience is necessary if you are to advance in holiness and become more faithful to Christ. It is known as the sacrament of confession, since the confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. It is also a "confession" of acknowledgement and praise of the holiness of God and His mercy and pardon towards sinful

Repentance is a concept of turning away from sin, which paves the way to salvation and thus eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Most denominations have the belief that one renounces from sin and aims to live a life according to the work of the Holy Spirit, with the exception of Baptist and Pentecostal who view Baptism as the complete submission to the will of God. Salvation is the means to eternal life in the Kingdom of God, and thus baptism becomes a meaning of initiating into the Christian community. “Forgive anyone who offends you” (Colossians 3) suggest that baptised individuals need to forgive those who offend them, as

As a result of sin, the human soul is constantly in a battle between good and evil. Some people choose to live a lifestyle of sin while others work towards

In our situation we all know that there's a limitation on our every decision, but it is not the hindrance to correct our mistake. If you can do a one mistake it is not the reason that you are a sinner, because in this world all people are sinner. There a saying that "Nobody's perfect" if you commit one mistake it is not the basis that if you'll die you're go to hell. Therefore there's a second chance to correct your mistake and you can served to minimize your sin, so that there's a chance that you can go to

Examine the role of sin (or transgression) in three texts that we have discussed in the latter half of this semester.

Right outside of Las Vegas, several miles off the beaten path, there is a lowkey casino that sits back on a hill, surrounded by artificial palm trees and a bauble of cheap christmas light. This casino is bordered by an abandoned building on the eastern end, and a brothel on its southern side, and the only light is from the full moon shining bright over the western sky. The T-shaped alley way, formed by the three buildings, are famous for their high prostitution business. Inside the casino, there’s a three hundred and sixty degree bar that splits the entire building in half. From the door, on the right half, the building is set up like a normal casino with your average blackjack table and lottery machines. On the left half, there is a club set up to with women with little to no raiment present.

There is no place for sin when person is at Gods feet. In order to be at His feet, sin must be washed away, and repented of. Otherwise we are still just at a distance from being in the presence of God and in His will.

In this life, there is sin. Sin is defined as a transgression or act against God. It is commonly characterized by selfish intentions. Pride, ego, and desire are most often the culprits behind the initiation of a sinful act. It comes from following personal feelings more than following God’s Word. Lying, cheating, jealousy, bragging, and hatred are just a few examples of sinful behavior. A life full of sin ultimately leads to destruction. God’s love for us is unfathomable and sin is not His desire for us. God desires for us to live a life full of love, giving of our self to Him, and modeling our life to Jesus. What might you ask is God’s reward for living a life for Him? According to Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but

The author (2007) also points out the importance of the Roman Catholic views point about confession and penance has three significate merits to confession. The first significate merit is that consistent confession forces one to confront one’s sin, meaning that one will not merely overlook or diminish one’s transgressions; instead it will cause one to take their sin more earnestly (p 213). The second significate is that the act of penance, paying a price for sin, creates a mindfulness of the significance of sin, meaning that it will not allow one to have a carelessness understanding toward sin of thinking that one will always be simply forgiven; instead penance combats this predisposition by arresting consequences for one’s sin (p 213). The third Significate merit is that it lifts the burned of guilt by forgiveness being granted during the ritual of penance, which can be extremely redemptive for some individuals (p

We need to repent our sins. Like its says in John 8:11, "And Jesus said,

Once we recognize God’s true love for us and see the need of looking to Christ to change our hearts rather than trying to do it on our own, we see our need of repentance, which involves a change of direction, turning our back on previous intentions and actions, and seeking new direction in life. Instead of making excuses, blaming circumstances or others, repentance means taking full responsibility. King David, after committing murder and adultery appealed to Christ: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalms 51:10). He accepted his guilt and asked for a new direction – from Christ.

     Adam and Eve, the two that started it all. These two names will remain as a reminder to us forever because of their actions. Genesis chapter two talks about how man was made perfect; flawless and in God’s favor. These two individuals change how mankind would be from that time on. Sin entered the world and things began to change.
