There is a difference between "sin" and "disobedience".
The two are not equal; nor do they have the same connotations.
Example: God ordered Hosea to marry a whore - Hosea 1:2. He "obeyed" ...
but technically, he "sinned", because he became party to a "sin" of the
flesh, which was 'adultry'.
With regards to the God of the Bible, 'obedience' is always more preferred
rather than if a thing is a sin. Sin, has been superflourized by man with
modernday folklores of religion...

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
