Well said. But like you said, "not so fast." Your distinction between sin and sins is an interesting, thought provoking approach to a never ending problem, sin, or was that sins.

I take it that statements like the president saying, "we are all sinners" is what you mean. What is a sinner? One who sins. But does s/he sin? A sinner is a person and a sin is an act or failure to act. I think I got that.

Is declaring others to be sinners a sin? The word sinner certainly leads to labeling groups, Democrats at present as such because they oppose making God's law the law of the land. I'm positive the president was only talking about Republicans with, "we are all sinners." But those dumb Baptist...

So when we talk about sin we need to keep it in the singular, particularized and not broad brushed. It's probably a lot easier to not commit a sin as it is to not commit sins anyhow.

I'm still looking for evidence that Devil worship isn't the most grievous of sins. Adam and Eve did a no-no and only got thrown out of Eden. Cain murdered his brother and only got banished--enjoyed the good life in the big house he built. And Jesus saved the prostitute from being stoned. But Lucifer. Well, God didn't go so easy on him.

Full Lucifer story at http://www.hoax-buster.org/sellyoursoul in case you either never heard about it or forgot.

Other panelist hereabouts have selected PRIDE as the most mortal of mortal sins. Surely we can agree that most all if not all the evidence points to Devil worship as the most grievous of sins. Since 'calling Lucifer God' didn't make the list, at least not as a category of sins then we can suspect Devil is behind categorizing sin and carelessly left worshiping Himself out. So you're on the right track there it would seem.

Only those who abide the first commandment, no strange Gods shall enter into the kingdom of God and they are all in favor of democracy--no kingdoms of any kind. Sinful to say the least. Maybe, "we 'are' all sinners" as Mr Bush pointed out?
