"SIN" is simply a word that describes disobedience under one umbrella.
You make not believe in disbedience or misbehaving but I will bet my last dollar that you had a hand of correction place on your butt when you were growing up my friend.

Exo 6:3 and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.

1. God is referred to hundreds of times with masculine names and with masculine pronouns such as “he,” “him,” and “his.”
2. God is never given a feminine name, or referred to with feminine pronouns such as “she,” her,” and “hers.”
3. This does not mean that God is male but the observations are there. The masculine pronouns have always had the second, generic sense, referring to both male and female, just as “Man” has been used for centuries to refer to both men and women.
But your question is more focused toward “Does this mean that God is male?
The truth is that the very question verges on the absurd.... God exists eternally, and in the eternal sphere there is no sexual differentiation. God has no gender. He is neither male nor female”. It has been said by more educated men and women than I can list here on this web site that “God is not male or female. God is God.
What was the answer which God gave to Moses on the mountain when Moses asked, ‘Who are you?’ God said, ‘I am that I am!’ ” (Exodus 2:10, KJV)/
But why is it that God has no gender? That will be problamatic for you since you do not accept the Bible as the Word of God as do I. The answer to that question will become obvious if you do a study of the Scriptures. When that is done what you will see is that .....................
1. God is an eternal Spirit (Deuteronomy 33:27, Psalm 102:27; John 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 1: 8)
2. Jesus pointed out, “a spirit hath not flesh and bones” (Luke 24:39).
3. In 1 Samuel 15:29, God Himself announced: “The Strength of Israel...is not a man.”
4. Moses wrote in Numbers 23:19: “God is not a man...neither the son of man.”
5. Hosea repeated that affirmation: “I am God, and not man” (11:9).
6. Time and again the Scriptures address the fact that, as a Spirit, God is invisible.
7. John commented that “no man hath seen God at any time” (John 1:18).
8. Paul spoke of “God...whom no man hath seen, nor can see” (1 Timothy 6:13,16)
9. Of Christ as “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
10. He reminded the young evangelist Timothy that to the “immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever” (1 Timothy 1:17).
I think what he meant to say was that he doesn't believe in being disobedient to others. I am sure he will always be obedient to his family, friends, strangers, unless they are telling him bad advice in which case, he should be disobedient to the people who give him bad advice. He is a good man that always tries his best to support others and help others.
If a person were to tell me to go drink poison, I will be disobedient to that person.

Never said that...God is genderless...the personal pronouns were given to this peoples because of their cultural connections and associations, for the benefit of their comprehension, God is neither male nor female but when He created humanity, for them to be created in the image of God He created them male and female....neither is God a hermaphrodite (as I anticipate the accusation). He is beyond "gender" being in essence a Spirit (not having corporeal form though for our sakes occasionally assuming one)...
In these ancient post flood cultures (Semites, Cushites, etc.,) they saw "maleness" as active, strength, builder, etc., where female was associated with passive, weaker, nurturer, etc.,...like the language in Genesis 1 if He were to communicate to them in terms they would comprehend (to get the idea) He would use terms in a context in which they could grasp the notions....
There are places in the Bible (a library of many books) where God communicates Himself in the feminine...like a Hen desiring to take His young under His wings...or when Wisdom (in the passive) is in the feminine....
Yes..........the evidence demands a conclusion !
And don't we all try to do that?????
BUT......are we always able to and in fact do that?
If my tax man told me something that broke the tax law, do you think I should disobay him? YES!
Because it broke the LAW.!
We humans sin, we do exactly the same thing and we do it because we are SINNERS and not good men. WHO is GOOD asked Jesus? WHY???????????????
Romans 3:23
"Because ALL have sinned and come short of the approval of God".
If someone tell me to drink poison, will I be disobedient to that person? YES
does that make me a bad person? NO! just for not listening to that person.
Should I forever be called a sinner for not drinking poison? NO!!
Should a mobster be called a bad person for doing crime? Yes!
Should someone be called a good person for helping others? Yes!
It is your actions that dictate who you are, not your belief system.
If someone tells me to study for school when I am at school, will I be disobedient to that person? no, because I know that person is trying to help me achieve what I want in life. I want to do well in school do I can be better prepared for the job I want to have in the future.

Why do we see that? Why do Christians like that exist?
I wouldn't have gone say so far that we are sinners, but we are just more neutral, if anything. I do agree that we shouldn't have too much pride (cocky), nor talk bad about ourselves. Which is what "We are sinners" is just saying over and over and over and over. You are only a bad person if you try to destroy other people's happiness. If you don't try to destroy other people's happiness, you are just neutral (not good or not bad). If you try to bring happiness to other people's lives, you will be considered good. I don't see how just believing in god comes into the equation of being good or not good.
There is THE question my dear friend. I will agree here with the Lord Jesus when He tells us in Matthew 7:22-23..............
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them....I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity".
Not everyone who says that they are saved are in fact truely saved. Outward verbal confirmation is in itself not enough to save the unbeliever apart from repentance and faith.
It seems to me also that the deveil himself enjoys distracting and destroying the church.
so you think ALL nonbelievers are out there trying to burn down every church possible and trying to lynch churchgoers? I have to disagree with this. You are probably thinking about other nonbelievers who do that. I am sure there are some nonbelievers that will always try to create peace and promote love.

I don't understand what's the problem here. Let's say that you are in my house and I tell you "You can eat everything you find in the fridge". Then, 15 minutes later I come again and I say "But please don't eat the cake because I need it for a party". Did I lie to you? I believe I didn't. Secondly, Genesis is telling us that the true meaning of "death" is not that of physical death. Death is actually a disruption in our relationship with God. In other words, death is losing our communion with God. This is the most profound and true meaning of the word "death". Hence, when Adam and Eve sinned they immediately died. Jesus also made this clear when he said that the people who didn't believe in his message were "dead".
Hi admin! You rock!!!
So as long as nonbelievers try to help others (showing love to others), they are automatically a disciple to Jesus? even though they don't believe that Jesus died for them and have their own view of the world?
Since we're on the subject, people who think others are bad, shouldn't be thinking they are bad. It shows their distrust in God doing his job. Christians should never condemn nonbelievers, and nonbeliever should never condemn Christians.
So it is acts of hatred that separate the true followers of Christ? That seems fair enough.
But how far are you willing to go for God?
I'm pretty sure the christians who have committed atrocities believed they were doing Gods work (even if they were not doing it and they were never true christians in the first place).
So how far will you go?
