What is sin? | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry

Be Killing Sin, or Else
Be Killing Sin, or Else: "If someone were to ask you, “What’s the most dangerous spiritual responsibility to neglect?” You might think of Scripture reading, prayer, evangelism, listening to preaching, or attending corporate worship. And it’s not that you’d be wrong…God commands all believers to pursue those things. They’re non-negotiable."

The manager at the zoo had no openings, but seeing how big this guy was, he offered him another position."

Gambling vs. Risk Taking
Gambling vs. Risk Taking: "You’ve probably heard this argument before from advocates of gambling: “If gambling is sin, then so is investing in the stock market, buying a house, and even starting your own company. They all involve the same element—risk taking.” That argument may appear convincing on the surface, but can it survive closer scrutiny? Today we'll let John MacArthur answer that question."

I believe the real miracle of the transfiguration was not that Jesus shined that day, but that He didn't shine all of the other days as well. He was God incarnate, walking among us. Never at any moment did He cease to be God."

For he stated: “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Bad thinking produces bad theology."

What If They Say They Already Tried Christianity? « StreetApologetics: "Often times we will have atheists or agnostics approach us during an open-air, insisting that they once were on fire Christians for God but now they have a message to share…God is just imaginary. More times than not this anger they have is rooted in some hypocrites they encountered along the way in church. Two things are worth mentioning here."
StreetApologetics
StreetApologetics: "Q: Is repentance and trusting in Christ two separate stages?
In short, the answer is no. With that said, let’s see about fleshing this out to get a better idea of what is going on.
There is a very tight relationship, which repentance and faith enjoy together. They could be thought of as two facets or sides of one singular action. Repentance and faith are inseparable in such a way that you cannot have one without the other."

A Good Question
A Good Question: "Do you think your principle ['if you merely participate in a gambling contest with a desire to win, you are guilty of coveting that which belongs to your neighbor'] applies exclusively to gambling, or does it apply to any and all forms of competitive activity? For example, if I enter a boxing match, or any other competitive activity, I am entering it to win. Does this mean that I am guilty of violating the tenth commandment by coveting my opponents title, belt, or even reputation? It seems to me that it does, but I'm not sure."

As a young Christian I remember thinking to myself “Isn’t this kind of repetitive, especially the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) which are so very similar to each other?' What’s the point? Well it may interest you to know (and hopefully you were already aware) that God is smarter than you and I and He had great purpose in the writing and preservation of the four gospels in our Bible."

How can I become more motivated for soul winning?
How can I become more motivated for soul winning?: "Answer: Being motivated for soul winning is a good thing, but we must define some terms first. “Soul winning” is a metaphor for evangelism, or witnessing. As such, this is a good thing to pursue. The Bible calls us to evangelize. Evangelism is at the heart of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). Christians are called to be witnesses of their faith to a watching world (Acts 1:8). In fact, the word “martyr” comes from the Greek word for “witness.” Early Christians were often put to death for their “witness” to Christ. Clearly these people were so motivated for winning souls that they gave their lives to that cause."

One, something valuable is put at risk. Two, something belonging to someone else is at stake as a prize. Three, an element of chance is involved in determining the outcome. And four, no new wealth is created in the process."
