What Is Sin?
Ray Evans • January 30, 2020
Paul said, "There is none righteous, no not one." (Romans 3:10). Another religious sound-bite taken out of context. Paul was speaking of "unbelievers."
Those who are "born-again" cannot sin without being convicted of sin...and quickly repent. They are not sinless, but they do sin less...knowing, the wages of sin is death.
Sin is not evil, it's unrighteousness. It's choosing to do wrong. Everyone knows right from wrong. When you choose to do wrong, you do so willingly; thus, it is sin.
You won't go to hell for smoking or drinking (although you may get there quicker by doing them if that's where you're headed anyway). Bad habits have bad consequences.
Jesus made it clear, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man" (Matthew 15:11)
Eat, drink and be merry (Ecclesiastes 8:15), because until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

To wit, smoking and drinking are not sins. They may not be good for you (expedient), and may cause you to sin, but they are not sins.
There is no "commandment" to stop smoking and drinking...although wisdom dictates you should, for better health.

Sin doesn't condemn you to hell. It's not acknowledging, confessing and repenting of your sins that separates you from God.
If that's what you want, just keep sinning.

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
