Is God interested in sin?

I have come to the conclusion that depending on who reads and interprets or believes or don't that the question of sin is really all relative to what one individual wants to believe. Just who is right, wrong or indifferent doesn't really matter to individuals.

Now certainly I have defined in my earlier articles why this is so. No need to even mention sins because well, as I just said, who says they are? Who can say it is? Yes and what you perceive as sin may be acceptable to someone else.

Now don't get mad, but the real truth is many just don't care unless perhaps if you happen to be a believer in what you were taught concerning your religion and that religion says it is a sin. Now that is a good one because what you were taught evidently can't be reconciled even between denominations of the same faith and certainly not among other different faiths. One would think if a Christian the same list of sins would apply? Well suck it up, it evidently doesn't, fact, reality, truth.

So in keeping with my other recent works just what is truth anyway? LIke I said, in my opinion, it only matters what an individual believes. Now you may not like that but it is truth. I didn't say I agree, I just said fact. In fact and as examples using Christianity many within these large and small denominations do not even believe in their own professions of faith, doctrines, dogma's or for that matter the bible. It is the same in other faiths, fact. Like I just stated, they have their own beliefs and they work just fine for them. It is all a matter of individual conscience. It is reality, truth, fact as I like to say. If they do not see sin, then I guess there is no sin in their perspective?

Now if this is reality, truth, is what it is and fact, then why would we expect stability, continuity, the same belief systems as we were taught to be predominant ion society? Just why would we think or dare to think that our way is right? The answer right before us in all that is going on, all that people actually do, or don't, and all they actually say in thought, word and deed, is it is not. If it is sin, sin to who?

So while I can perceive something as sin, and believe God does see that as sin as well based on my belief system, it means nothing to others. but those who accept the same teachings. Therefore any sin I perceive only applies to me, my way of life, my works. The rest it doesn't matter in the least and in that there are no boundaries.

Now here is my final thought. If all that is true, reality and fact, then there is only one thing that those who say there is a God, those 82% of Americans or more that profess and say they believe in a super being, or whatever they choose to define as such, Jesus Christ, or other, or in a specific religious belief, is what God thinks. That is to those, like I said, those 82% who believe in a God or Super being or power. Everything else is up for grabs and "that's a fact jack" as the movie line goes. Yes and it is what it is today.

So really what counts Is God interested in sin and has He defined it anywhere? If He has and you believe He has in whatever way, then it is incumbent upon you to identify that sin, recognize how it pertains to you and if you care address it. Why, the bottom line is it just may mean something to God?
