    Lesson 3. S-Basic Gospel Points Point # 2—Sin Review and Introduction Cross out the wrong words. 1. In presenting the Gospel, there are five/seven important points which we share with the unbeliever. 2. The first one is love/growth, and the second one is sin. In this lesson, we talk about sin. (Ro 3:12) 3. If we begin by telling a person that he is a sinner and does wrong things, he will not want to hear more because no one likes to lose face by hearing that he does wrong things. 4. On the other hand, if we begin by telling a person about God’s wrath/love, he might want to hear more because a person likes to hear about the true God Who loves him. 5. We want to speak in such a manner that the listener will gladly welcome us back to talk some more. 6. Once the person is assured of God’s love, we proceed to tell him about sin. He needs to know he is a sinner before he can know his need for a Savior. 1. Original Sin We divide sin into two categories, original sin and actual sin. Original sin is the sin with which we are born. 1. The first person that God created on earth was Adam/Abraham. (Ge 2:7) From Adam, God made all the nations on this earth. (Ac 17:26a) In Picture 1 we see that from Adam’s offspring came all the people of the earth. God sees the whole human race as being one race in Adam.

  • Sin and Its Consequences
    VZ Mar. ’09 Sin and ConsequencesOVoittonen Sin and Its Consequences The boundary between right and wrong, between that which is permitted and that which is forbidden, has dimmed to a great extent in the way people commonly think about matters today. At the same time, people’s morals have become relative. Many are of the opinion that sin no longer has significance for modern man. The question regarding sin and release from its guilt, however, is at the same time the most painful problem of life for many people. Sin closely connects with the concept of man and his salvation. The Perfection of Life Was Broken According to Scripture, God created man in His own image. He gave a mind, will, and conscience to man. Man received everything from God and lived in unity with Him. Everywhere there was perfection, harmony: everything was good (Gen. 1:27, 31.) Man had three basic relationships: a relationship with God, a relationship with other people and a relationship with nature. Man’s committed sin broke the harmony. In the fall into sin he became attracted to evil, he wanted to become as God and thus broke God’s will. When he consented to commit sin, man did not care about what God had said. The image of God in man was corrupted and he lost the peace of conscience. He lost his righteousness, his free will, and immortality. Accusations and distrust arose in the relationship between Adam and his spouse. The ground became cursed: Creation groans in pain (Rom. 8:19–22). The “law of sweat” descended upon man’s being, the sweat and furrows of the brow (Gen.

Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. When we sin, we choose self over God, revolting against God in an act of disobedience. The passion narratives in the gospels illustrate well the many forms of sin: unbelief, hatred that leads to murder, mockery, cowardice, cruelty, betrayal, denial, flight from the truth. In brief, sin is a failure to love ourselves, others, and God resulting in a breach in covenant love. The heart of the gospel is that Jesus Christ came to extend God's forgiveness to sinners.

  • The Consequences of Venial Sin It Can Be Tempting to Think That Venial Sins Are Not a Big Deal
    CHAPTER 3 The Fall LESSON 8 Original Sin Comes Down to Us From Adam Everything that God gave Adam and Eve was a gift, including (most especially) their free will. From the very beginning of their creation, Adam and Eve face the choice of either obeying God or rejecting Him. It was only fair that God should test them to prove their loyalty and appreciation. We already know the command He gave them. We also know that Adam and Eve did not obey the commandment of God, but ate of the forbidden fruit. As a fallen angel in disgrace, Satan hated God and tried to spoil His plans. We remember how Satan plotted our first parents’ downfall because of his hatred and his jealousy over their happiness. The devil deceived Eve, who in turn enticed Adam to sin. Adam and Eve Were Punished for Their Sin The sin of our first parents was a sin of pride and disobedience. Too late did Adam and Eve realize their serious mistake in listen- ing to Satan who said, “No, you will not die, you will be like God knowing good and evil.” With this act of disobedience came the loss of sanctifying grace. As we said before, grace was God’s pres- ence in their souls. To lose grace was man’s greatest punishment and misfortune. Innocence and holiness were also lost; more- over, because of their sin, the ordinary tasks which Adam and Eve were given to do became hard for them, and at times, even 74 unpleasant and monotonous. They were subject TERMS TO KNOW to suffering and sickness until death claimed • descendants them.

  • JOHN WESLEY's CONCEPT of SIN . . . Leo G
    JOHN WESLEY'S CONCEPT OF SIN by LEO G. COX A study of John Wesley's thought is always in order. W. E. Lecky in his his- tory of England wrote that Wesley "has had a wider constructive influence in the sphere of practical religion than any other man who has appeared since the 16th century."1 He joined the succession of the Reformers when he became convinced of Luther's doctrine of justification by faith alone. To Wesley in 1738, at the age of 35, this doctrine of justification was a new doctrine. He remained true to Luther's doctrine of justification by faith during the entirety of his life. While Wesley learned of the doctrine of justification from the Reformers, his doctrine of Christian perfection came to him through the tradition of the Anglican church. He realized as much as anyone else the aroused opposition to his teaching of perfection. He wrote in his sermon on "Christian Perfection" the following words; "There is scarce any expression in holy writ which has given more offence than this. The word perfect is what many cannot bear. The very sound of it is an abomina- tion to them." In his defense of this doctrine of Christian perfection, Wesley did not diminish nor alter his views concerning the doctrine of justification by faith.2 It is very obvious that Wesley's doctrine of Christian perfection would make it necessary for him to make very clear what was his doctrine of sin. He felt it very necessary to draw clear lines of distinction in his definitions.

  • First Penance Preparation at Home: the Interview with Father It Is Not Preferred That the Student Preparing for First Penance Simply Memorize These Answers
    First Penance Preparation at Home: the Interview with Father It is not preferred that the student preparing for first Penance simply memorize these answers. It is most important to have a general understanding of sin, disobedience, God’s mercy and grace, and the importance of living a holy life with God’s help. What is sin? A word, act or desire contrary to the eternal Law of God. What is original sin? Who committed it? What happened? Original sin is the sin committed by Adam and Eve when they disobeyed God and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Through original sin all human beings are born in a state of deprivation of original holiness and justice. Original sin is a sin “contracted” by us but not “committed” by us. What is actual sin? Actual sins are offenses that we personally commit of thought, of word, of deed, or of omission. What are the two types of actual sin? Mortal sins and venial sins. What is the difference between a mortal and venial sin? Mortal sins are grave matter that destroys charity in us, deprives us of sanctifying grace, and, if unrepented, lead us to hell. Venial sins are essentially different from mortal sins: in a venial sin the matter of the sin is less serious or full knowledge and/or complete consent are absent. What are the 3 conditions for a mortal sin? One commits a mortal sin when there are simultaneously present: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. What are the 10 Commandments? “Holy God” I I am the LORD your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me.

  • Psychology Content
    Original sin is the original such choice away from grace; its effect, step by step through the ages, is to disrupt the social and spiritual context of our birth; baptism frees us from the spiritual disruption, but not from its social consequences. Actual sin — our own everyday stuff — means putting our immedi- ate priorities ahead of God’s priorities: first ahead of developing a relationship with our Father and then ahead of loving our brothers and sisters. So much for definitions. Everyone Believes in Sin Get this straight: secular thinkers often deny the reality of sin, but they have their own list of sins, changing with the fashions: intolerance is now considered a very serious personal evil, closely followed by any failure of self-acceptance, and then by various things like racism, sexism and homophobia. In Cath- olic theology, all varieties of uncharitable thought are considered sinful, so social intolerance is sinful in thought, word, action, or neglect of appropriate action. We also teach that prayer includes listening, which actually depends on some measure of peace within ourselves (self-acceptance) without which we cannot discern God’s voice properly. So the sins recognized in secular culture are also recognized within Catholicism, under other names; and in fact, Christianity is the origin of the idea of a love so universal that intolerance would be wrong. Nevertheless, Catholic doctrine never agrees that the unfashionable sins are the worst. Fashion or lack of fashion is irrelevant. Note, however, that the ability to include the insights of others (the secular world) as a special case of your own view is the sign of a superior cosmology (see chapter 5, p.

  • Temptation Is NOT Sin…
    Temptation is NOT Sin… by David Lee Burris Is temptation a sin? Question: "Is temptation a sin? Is it a sin to be tempted?" Answer: Temptation, by its very nature, feels wrong. God’s moral law is written in the heart of every human being (Romans 1:20), and when a sinful temptation is introduced, our consciences immediately sense danger. However, the temptation itself is not the sin. Jesus was tempted (Mark 1:13; Luke 4:1-13), but He never sinned (Hebrews 4:15). Sin occurs when we mishandle temptation. There are two avenues by which we are tempted: Satan and our own sinful flesh. Acts 5 gives an example of someone tempted by Satan. Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, wanting to appear more spiritual than they really were, lied to the apostles and pretended they were giving as an offering the full price of some property they had sold. Peter confronted them: “How is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?”(verse 3). In this instance, Peter knew that the temptation to lie had come from Satan. Ananias and his wife both gave in to that temptation (verses 7-10). The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot is also attributed to Satan’s influence (Luke 22:3; John 13:2). Ultimately, since Satan is the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4) and the father of lies (John 8:44), all evil originates with him.

  • SIN, VICE and VIRTUE the Catechism of The
    SIN, VICE AND VIRTUE The Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph 1849) defines sin as “an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. It has been defined as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law." Actual sin is committed by a free personal act of the individual will and is divided into sins of commission and sins of omission. A sin of commission is a positive act contrary to some prohibitory precept (stealing someone’s cell phone); a sin of omission is a failure to do what is commanded. In the New Testament, the classic example of the sin of omission given by Jesus is the account of the Good Samaritan. After a man had been beaten and left in need of help, the first two men to pass by—a priest and a Levite, both of whom knew better—failed to act. The Confiteor (in Latin, meaning "I confess" or "I acknowledge") is one of the prayers that is said during the Penitential Act at the beginning of Mass. This prayer mentions both the sins of commission and omission: I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words in what I have done and in what I have failed to do through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

  • Q. 82: the Essence of Original
    QUESTION 82 The Essence of Original Sin Next we have to consider original sin with respect to its essence. On this topic there are four questions: (1) Is original sin a habit (habitus)? (2) Is original sin just a single thing in an individual man (unum tantum in uno homine)? (3) Is original sin concupiscence (utrum sit concupiscentia)? (4) Does original sin exist equally in everyone? Article 1 Is original sin a habit? It seems that original sin is not a habit (non sit habitus): Objection 1: As Anselm says in De Conceptu Virginali, original sin is a lack of original justice, and so original sin is a certain privation. But privation is opposed to habit. Therefore, original sin is not a habit. Objection 2: Actual sin has more of the character of guilt (plus de ratione culpae) than does original sin, insofar as it has more of the character of voluntariness. But the habit of an actual sin does not have the character of guilt. Otherwise, it would follow that a sleeping man would be culpably sinning. Therefore, no original habit has the character of guilt. Objection 3: In the case of what is bad, the act always precedes the habit, since every bad habit is acquired and no bad habit is infused. But no act precedes original sin. Therefore, original sin is not a habit. But contrary to this: In De Baptismo Puerorum Augustine says that because of original sin, children have an aptitude for concupiscence, even though they are not actually desiring anything in a disordered way (sunt concupiscibiles etsi non sint actu concupiscentes).
