[TruthTalk] What is sin?

[knpraise]

Dean, what is your definition of sin and would you please give me a few examples of "sin."

 

You say in this post that before your being "born again,"  you had no choice but to sin.  So, are you saying that the person outside Christ HAS to commit adultery when faced with that temptation?  That, when faced with the temptation, an unbeliever HAS to drive drunk? 

 

What is your definition and and some examples, please.
