I do...Hello Quartermaster, welcome to the Sounds.<br /><br /><br />I don't think your definition is more fundamental. For instance, the character of God does not prevent him from taking life any time, any where. We cannot do the same and not be in sin. The character of God allows him to insist upon his own will in all matters relational with other beings. We cannot insist upon our will in relation to other beings and not be in sin at least at some point doing the same. My point is that the character of God is not a precisely nor even an analogously applicable metric to human behavior. If there is a difference between what that made in God's image can do and what God's character allows him to do, the difference cannot be explained in God's character but in God's will for his creation. <br /><br /><br />We have been made to do as we please, except in matters in which God has expressed his will concerning what we do. Sin cannot arise without opposition to his will.slwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-63008551015491060432013-07-14T15:50:21.556-04:002013-07-14T15:50:21.556-04:00I think the definition of sin is more fundamental ...I think the definition of sin is more fundamental than yours.
