» Brian Tubbs - Sin

I know what you're saying, Pink. I've heard the doctrine of sin explained pretty clumsily and harshly over the years.

I know PaperTurtle suggests I qualify my statements with "In my opinion..." or "Based on how I see it....," etc., but that just comes off as weak. I'll put it this way...

I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it teaches that all sins are the same - and anyone who describes the doctrine of sin by saying something like a dancer is as worthy of hell as Adolf Hitler is...well...they have issues. (And I'm not even getting into the dancing argument. But, for the record, I don't think dancing is inherently wrong).

What I see in the Bible is that all human beings are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Frankly, I don't understand how anyone can read the Bible (especially Paul's writings) and NOT see that.

The solution to that problem of sin, though, ain't priests and rules. The solution is Christ.
