Petra
Puritan Board Freshman
So this Eastern Orthodox brother is telling me that sin is not transgression against God’s law. He states that sin is crossing the law. He states that sins not leading to death are sins not done with knowledge.
How should I respond?
Every time I try to connect death with not being merely physical death in sin, he responds with something like:
“Need to make a distinction between sin and sins. St Paul uses both, specifically, and they're not interchangeable.”
I have no idea where to begin. Anyone with some tips? Proof texts? Contexts to help me, please?
