SIN do you really know what it is???

[Sister Alvear]

Very good my dear friends...now let's pray that people can understand what sin is...namely disobedience to God's laws...not hair up hair down red no red and on and on...

Sin is the transgression of the Law.

Hair up or down, to wear red or not ...... is about personal choice, preference or perhaps personal conviction based on conscience, culture, teaching, etc.

If a person's conscience is offended by doing these things then they should not do them because it will affect their faith.

But sinful in the sight of God or transgression of His Word or Law? No.

Our bishop just taught a Bible study last Wed. night on this subject, the title was actually "Conviction or Preference".

[Sister Alvear]

That is what I was trying to express... It is important that we know what sin is...
Convictions and preferences are different.
