1,600 words (approx. 6.4 pages) | 5 sources | 2001 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the aspect of sins and sin-doing and examines the three types of sins that mankind commits: primal sin, original sin and actual sin and provides examples. The author focuses on the main idea behind sinning: turning away from God.

From the paper:

"The Bible study teachers instruct against the sins of alcohol and premarital sex. An evangelist on television warns that failure to evangelize neighbors and failure to feed the hungry are sins. The regular petition at church on Sunday "for forgiveness of our sins of omission and of commission." This meant that sin occurred when one did something they should not have or when one failed to do something that they should have (Gaventa 2)."
