The definition that we've said of sin is separating you from god. So in that sense, I don't see how that could be the same then as cutting somebody off in traffic, not loving my neighbor by treating them badly in traffic.
Ever wondered who decides what counts as a sin? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth tackle the tricky topic of sin with their trademark honesty and openness. They ask the tough questions: Is an executioner committing a sin by carrying out the death penalty? Can something be sinful for one person but not another? What about sins we're not even aware of committing?
The conversation gets even more complex as they explore how sin can be both an individual and communal issue. Steph and Beth also discuss how some people seem obsessed with pointing out others' sins while ignoring their own flaws. They dive into the church's take on sexual sin and the harm it can cause, challenging the idea that all sins are equal in separating us from God.
By sharing their own experiences and reflections, they invite listeners to think deeply about their own beliefs and actions. And to lighten things up, the episode wraps up with a fun chat about cats and dogs. It's a thought-provoking episode that promises to leave you questioning and reflecting long after it's over.
