Definition Of Sin

Sin is, "Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your concience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spitiual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself.


That is Mrs. Wesley's definition of sin to her son John Wesley.

Anonymous: I find your comment most ambiguous. By "hey" do you mean to greet Stephan, or to say you are angry at him?

Beth: I've posted my views on dating before, if you look under the 03/01/2005 - 03/31/2005 archive. It should answer most if not all questions you might have. (sorry it's taken so long to get back to you)

Drewbie: Okay so your not sure you would agree with that. Go into a bit more depth. Explain what you mean by that. Anyone can not agree with something, it's the people which can explain what they don't agree with, that help this post. I'm trying to be thought provocative.

Don't get a MySpace. They're EVIL... They suck out your souls!

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with it, either. It's rather flawed, since her definition technically includes sleeping. Plus, sin hurts others, too. The definition appears to neglect that. Of course, this is probably just me being a perfectionist.
