Question about sin and Jesus.
Kat:
--- Quote ---The definition of sin is not to rape little children and cut off their heads, that is not the definition of sin. That is only one ‘form’ of sin.
Sin means to miss the mark. So very technically, if you are having target practice at a target and you miss the bulls eye, because that’s what you were trying to hit, you sinned. You missed the mark. You didn’t do what you wanted to do, you missed. So any failure, any mistake is a sin. Now it doesn’t have to be a big sin. We all make mistakes, you know.
If we are peeling an apple and we cut ourselves, that is a sin. Now God is not going to strike you down with lightning out of heaven for that. But it is a sin and you have to suffer the consequences. Sometimes you sin and you don’t suffer a consequence, because you don’t know you sinned. It takes years sometimes to learn that you have sins you didn’t know about.
So although they would deny everything that I have said there, but if you nail them down on their doctrines they absolutely believe that God repents of His failures and His shortcomings, which are sins. Failures and shortcomings are sins.
They say, ‘well God doesn’t sin.’ But does He do things that don’t work out the way He wanted them to? They say, ‘yes.’ Well that’s a sin! It’s plain as that. You can play with words and games if you want to, but this is not that difficult. What we are studying today might be difficult, but some of the explanations I hope are not difficult.

Okay I think this is what you were referring to Lupac.
I can only say that as for the example you gave of Jesus stumbling when He was carrying the cross is that it was suppose to happen. Surely there is a reason for every single thing that He did whether we know what it is or not.

Deborah-Leigh:
Jesus fell seven times.
Pro 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

That's it! That's the quote. Even if that was supposed to happen, He still fell. I'm sorry, but I can't believe a simple mistake is a sin.

I love it when Arc replies. You just know it's going to be the real " Meat of the word " with some good old country gravy on the side.
Love in Christ

Kat:
Lupac, I do not want to try to explain this one, as I didn't do so well the first time I tried.
I would suggest that you email Ray L.RaySmith@comcast.net
