Do we know what sin is?

you know it for it has happened to you, how?
And how did Jesus knew it?
SO I ask, if you know the wrong and the right then can you act according to the right, hand in hand?
Can someone else force you to it when it is a matter of health or medicine, or a matter of things thought valuable?
Can one has a force of Will from God and an act to fulfill the right as it comes to be known?
My sin is that having acted against my will, God's natural Will, for my life just to obey others who abused my blessed living being and thus forced me to do what I do not like and what I like I do not do for even just a few years - for work, money, stupid things of values, death memory etc - I now find it hard to get back to God Will. Now, if I want to do something serious for living I find myself interfered, the sin, now I hate anything right (not, my wish) and so if I can't fulfill what is right to my Knowing due to the sins imposed on me. It is real sin very wicket all it is learned from other controlling against the act OF God to Life but not theirs. Why men act against their true will and ignore the evil cruelty that it will come back to judge them, indeed when it comes looking for life and God. we will never be sick if we have God's Will to fulfill the judgement, ours and His. Never do anything if you do not for Life for it will be always the destroyer, not God and you want God, do you?
Tell me all of you what is sin in your own words and not sin? Or the cruelty, the sin hinders it to do so?
GOd, and Jesus help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a reply to # 1,953,409the word "sin" is a greek word meaning "to miss the mark" its an archery term.
the good news is that all sin is forgiven. so instead of us wasting time in the futile venture of trying to hide our sin we can concentrate on correcting our sin. you know, obeying instead of having to do penance. the alter was called the lion of god because it was having to eat so much flesh due to the peoples continuous sinning and literally just throwing god a bone for it instead of changing.
i dont have the reference handy but one definition of sin is in the new testament - to know to do right and not to do it; to him that is sin.
and see james. gotta do, do, doodly doodly do.
be well.

This is a reply to # 1,954,071All our sins can be forgiven. We just need to ask the Lord Jesus to forgive us and accept what He did for us on the cross. Our sins can be forgiven because He paid the penalty for them. This is a free gift given to us by God. That is indeed good news. The bad news is that not all people are willing to receive this free gift. People who never receive this gift from God will have to pay the penalty for their own sins. The gift is not theirs unless they chose to receive it.

This is a reply to # 1,954,110thats not what the bible says.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
we have to own up to them.
what did john the baptist preach? repent.
what did jesus preach? repent.
what does repent mean? its a literal changing of the mind, a metamorphosis if you will. the greek word is metanoia.
Proverbs 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
what was adams sin? was it disobedience? lets look at gods word again.
Job 31:33
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
1 Timothy 2:14
And Adam was not deceived,
asking god for forgiveness is unbelief because he already has. jesus dies for the sins of the whole world, past present and future. sin is no longer the issue.
you dont receive the gift by asking for it. you receive it by confessing.
you must first believe you are wrong in order to confess.
Romans 10:10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
this cant be faked. in fact, faking (hiding) is the original problem. once you reverse that trend you are on the path.

It's great to see you posting on this forum, Trapper. Thanks for posting all of those wonderful Bible verses. :) We can't go wrong with those. I love it and I love the verses that you posted for they do tell me how to receive the free gift of God and become saved. This post is great, however, there is a statement in your first post, which I took the liberty to copy and paste into this post, that did concern me. The statement referred to all sin being forgiven. That statement, I felt, could lead the reader to believe that all sin of all times for all people is forgiven. I believe that the Bible is clear that if you do not receive what Christ did (paying the penalty for us - God's gift), that your sins are not forgiven and you will pay the penalty yourself via eternal death. I do agree with you that Jesus did die for the sins of the whole world past, present, and future. This was God's gift to the whole world. The problem is most people are rejecting this gift and it will never be theirs. Therefore, they will experience eternal death. The few who except this gift will experience eternal life.

This statement from your second post I do not agree with, however, It doesn't concern me as much as your first statement that I referred to.
To explain I will quote a little scripture myself.
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
Matthew 6: 9-12 KJV
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed the chat.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,954,507thanks.
the lords prayer. it doesnt get any better than that.
in the english, however, the word "as" loses all meaning. strongs number 5613 - hos, meaning 'in the same manner' or 'which is how'.
forgive us our trespasses IN THE VERY SAME MANNER we forgive those who trespass against us.
this is more an affirmation of the way things are than a request and totally congruent with the rest of scripture, especially the golden rule: do unto others as you would have done unto you. also, whatever a man sows, that is what he will reap.
god never lies.
yes, its been fun. thank you again for being such a gracious host to such an old reprobate as myself.
