    To thine own self be true !

    this is not a statement to incourage a self serving lifestyle.

    I think that this is saying  ...  you can lie to your neighbor or to the rest of the world, but the most damaging thing that we can do is lie to ourselves.
     
      And we are ALL doin it!.. in ways that we are unaware.
      And We just caint quidit.

      Back on topic...  How many ways do YOU  lie to YOURselves.

       I'll go first.

        But ya don't want to forget about sin.
        Do ya know what the definition of sin is?
        Sin is anything that is going to bite ya when you pick it up.
        It is a sin to lay your hand flat on top of grandpas Ben Franklin wood burning fireplace when it has a fire in it.

          When the fire goes out it aint a sin to touch it any more.

          And it can be a sin to hook a bra .... when your asistence wasn't asked for..

          I believe that sin was originaly used in archery parlance. If when a bowman shot off his arrow it failed to reach its target by failing short, the instructor would sy "Thou hast sinned". Hence to sin is to fall short of God's standards. Fortunatley for us, He's already thought of this and given us His Son to stand in our place.

            You are right and again i can see a parralel between both statements. Seems like thr rules are about not hurting ourselves or others. Maybe a bit over simplistic, but I find it easier to stay within the boundaries when doin my simple thinking.  And then I fall short sometimes anyway.

            Wrong. Please consider thinking and using reason and rational thought instead of blind faith. I am sin-free, so you can take it from me - when one imagines sins (which do not exist) - then one feels obliged to tell others they are sinning - this causes wars and conflict.

      Jerami, sin is law of a religion, hence one religions sin may very well not be a sin in another religion. The concept of sin loses all meaning when trying to determine what is and what is not a sin.

      Lying cannot be a sin. Lying is condoned under certain circumstances in some religions. In fact, people lie to each other all the time to protect their feelings from being hurt, for example.

      “Hymns and Christian songs have made many liars.”

        Hi friend (Q)

        Sin is doing anything against the commandments of the Creator- God Allah YHWH.

        Quran gives its commandments with the reasons as to why a commandment is given; all commandments are pro-life, attuned to the purpose of life and attuned to the purpose of Evolution set in motion by the Creator- God Allah YHWH.

        Mistakes and errors are not sins.

        There are no hereditary sins or the original sins as wrongly held by the mythical Christianity founded by the clever Paul.

        Sins are forgiven if the sinner repents, resolves not to commit it in future and ask forgiveness from the Creator- God Allah YHWH; he may forgive under his sole discretion without consultation with anybody, like Jesus.

        The Creator-God Allah YHWH needs no artificial human sacrifice of Jesus or anybody else; it is no requirement for forgiveness of sins and is unrelated to it and cruel also.

        Thanks

          If that were true, there would not be anything in the Quran that would promote violence, which is not pro-life or attuned to the purpose of life, but only serves to promote Islamic beliefs.



          Quran right, Christianity wrong, yes, we know your Islamic agenda of provoking others while always claiming to be peaceful.



          Ah, the hypocrisy of the indoctrinated, always ready to commit acts of evil only to be forgiven so they may go out and commit them again without reproach.



          Anti-Christian propaganda or Pro-Islamic propaganda, you be the judge.

    Stupidity and prejudice - thinking that you have all the answers and judging others before you know all the facts.  Or not researching things and labeling people or beliefs based on what popular opinion is or what others say.  I think it is important in all aspects of life to keep an open mind and to be kind.  You can have differing opinions but when you label people or reject them, refuse to even consider other sides of a coin because of mindset or without at least trying to see the other side, you slip into being uncharitable and I think we all should be giving - of ourselves, our time, our minds, our resources.  No one is an island and I think we all need to be more tolerant.  The opposite in my humble opinion is the sin because we weren't put on this earth to judge.

        I give here the verse with the verses in the context, which you had not given lest you will be exposed:

        [3:24] Dost thou not know of those who have been given their portion of the Book? They are called to the Book of Allah that it may judge between them, but a party of them turn away in aversion.
        [3:25] That is because they say, ‘The Fire shall not touch us, except for a limited number of days.’ And what they used to forge has deceived them regarding their religion. [3:26] How will they fare when We will gather them together on the Day about which there is no doubt; and when every soul shall be paid in full what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged?
        [3:27] Say, ‘O Allah, Lord of sovereignty, Thou givest sovereignty to whomsoever Thou pleasest; and Thou takest away sovereignty from whomsoever Thou pleasest. Thou exaltest whomsoever Thou pleasest and Thou abasest whomsoever Thou pleasest. In Thy hand is all good. Thou surely hast power to do all things.
        [3:28] ‘Thou makest the night pass into the day and makest the day pass into the night. And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest to whomsoever Thou pleasest without measure.’
        [3:29] Let not the believers take disbelievers for friends in preference to believers — and whoever does that has no connection with Allah — except that you cautiously guard against them. And Allah cautions you against His punishment; and to Allah is the returning [3:30] Say, ‘Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah knows it; and He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And Allah has power to do all things.’
        [3:31] Beware of the Day when every soul shall find itself confronted with all the good it has done and all the evil it has done. It will wish there were a great distance between it and that evil. And Allah cautions you against His punishment. And Allah is Most Compassionate to His servants.
        [3:32] Say, ‘If you love Allah, follow me: then will Allah love you and forgive you your faults. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.’
        [3:33] Say, ‘Obey Allah and the Messenger;’ but if they turn away, then remember thatAllah loves not the disbelievers.

    The greatest sin according to islam is, associating partners with god.

    Christianity...Then said he who had invited him: 'Master, which is the greatest sin?'
         
    Jesus answered: 'Which is the greatest ruin of a house?' 

    Every one was silent, when Jesus with his finger pointed to the foundation, and said: 'If the foundation give way, immediately the house falleth in ruin, in such wise that it is necessary to build it up anew: but if every other part give way it can be repaired. Even so then say I to you, that idolatry is the greatest sin, because it depriveth a man entirely of faith, and consequently of God; so that he can have no spiritual affection. But every other sin leaveth to man the hope of obtaining mercy:  and therefore I say that idolatry is the greatest sin.'

    Any similarities here?

        Hi friends

        I quote the text of the verse with the verses in the context:

        [31:7] And of men is he who takes idle tales in exchange for guidance to lead men astray from the path of Allah, without knowledge, and to make fun of it. For such there will be humiliating punishment.
        [31:8] And when Our Signs are recited to him, he turns proudly away, as though he heard them not, as if there were a heaviness in both his ears. So announce to him a painful punishment.
        [31:9] Surely those who believe and do good works — they will have Gardens of Delight, [31:10] Wherein they will abide. Allah has made a true promise; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
        [31:11] He has created the heavens without any pillars that you can see, and He has placed in the earth firm mountains that it may not quake with you, and He has scattered therein all kinds of creatures; and We have sent down water from the clouds, and caused to grow therein every noble species.
        [31:12] This is the creation of Allah. Now show me what others beside Him have created. Nay, but the wrongdoers are in manifest error.
        [31:13] And We bestowed wisdom on Luqman, saying, ‘Be grateful to Allah:’ and whoso is grateful, is grateful only for the good of his own soul. And whoso is ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
        [31:14] And remember when Luqman said to his son while exhorting him, ‘O my dear son! associate not partners with Allah. Surely, associating partners with God is a grievous wrong.’
        [31:15] And We have enjoined on man concerning his parents — his mother bears him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning takes two years — ‘Give thanks to Me and to thy parents. Unto Me is the final return.
        [31:16] ‘And if they contend with thee to make thee set up equals with Me concerning which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not, but be a kind companion to them in allworldly affairs; and in spiritual matters follow the way of him who turns to Me. Then unto Me will be your return and I shall inform you of what you used to do.’

    The greatest sin is to waste your valuable time screwing around on this thread instead of leading a productive life.

        No one's perfect.  Even chipmunks have vices.

    There's a difference between sin and mistake. Mistake is an act (of sorts) that the person is unaware that whatever it is they say, do, act is wrong (either defined by religion or society, or whatever they follow). Sin, on the other hand, is knowing before hand what you're doing in wrong, and still continue to do so, even knowing what the consequences would be.
    Sin is sin, period. Whether it's lying, cheating, murder. All of it is wrong. Now, clearly murder is more atrocious than say, stealing from your Dad's wallet, but if you are an active believer in any form of religion, then you (presumably) understand that there's a higher being that is to be the judge.

    *this post is not meant to be judgmental of anyone's beliefs, and is not meant to purposefully offend, it's merely my own opinion.
