...Oy.... Transgression and Sin are very different.<br /><br />There are two kinds of Sin.

What ...I agree, David. Thanks for your comment. <br /><br />What we are discussing really is at the heart of Atonement; it's just that my focus in this post is on those who don't accept the power of the Atonement to cover those things they don't choose (their transgressions), while your focus is on those who don't accept the power of the Atonement to cover those things they do choose (Papa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-13856590985466670592009-11-27T16:50:42.512-05:002009-11-27T16:50:42.512-05:00My concern with distinguishing between "trans...My concern with distinguishing between "transgression" and "sin" is that it creates a bright line hierarchy of wrongdoing, when, in my opinion, the Atonement knows no such hierarchy or limitations.
