I’m sorry, but I like exactly what God’s Word says what sin is, what faith is, etc.

I’m not so sure what we have been giving, but what God has given. I especially do not accept “what we have been slowly finding and removing.”

Christianity has much more meaning when we read: “And the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.”(Acts 11:26c)[they did not call themselves Christians] And in “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persaudest me to be a Christian.” (Acts 26:28) Then “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.” (1 Peter 4:16)

Let us look at exactly what the Bible says sin is: “A high look, and a proud heart and the plowing of the wicked is sin.” (Proverbs 21:4)
“The thought of foolishness is sin.” (Romans 14:23)
James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
1 John 3:4 “Whosoever committeth sin trangresseth also the law, for sin is the trangression of the law.”
1 John 5:17 “All unrighteousness is sin....”

You first have to define the word sin. What is the root word? Is it part of a Latin word? I’ve never seen the word defined. Sure, the word sin is in the Bible but where did the word come from? Just saying.
