Faithlessness is sin

I picked this up, Think it's good, don't agree with everything this guy says, so I will refrain from linking to him. His teaching is pretty good on sin however. We need to be reminded that Sin isn't only what we do, it's what we don't do. We don't do what God has called us to do because we don't have faith in God. Faithlessness is a sin. Read the list:

WHAT IS SIN?

NUMBER ONE:

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4 AV)

Sin is the disobedience to the LORD GOD's Laws.



NUMBER TWO:

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. (1 John 5:17 AV)

Sin is unrighteous. It is unjust, immoral and wrong.

There are different degrees of sin. Not all sin is unforgivable and punished by death.



NUMBER THREE:

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. (James 4:17 AV)

A person that knows to do good works, and does not do them is sinning.

A sin for one person may not be a sin for another person.



NUMBER FOUR

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:22-23 AV)

Faith is between each individual and God. Faith is a Gift from God. GOD decides how much faith you must have, and he will transform you by the renewing of your mind so that you know what is good, acceptable and the perfect will of God. IF much has been imparted and you still don't do what he called you to do it is sin. Conversely, the LORD God by the Holy Spirit will reveal to each individual what their sins are.

A sin is committed if a person believes a certain truth, then doubts that truth and acts on his doubt in stead of his faith. In fact the cowardly fearful are condemned to the lake of Fire:

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Rev 21:8 kvj)

If a person's faith allows him to act, and he does that act in faith, he will be happy. (Blessed)

If a person's faith allows him to act, yet he condemns with guilt, doubt, punishment or fear on the act, he will be unhappy. (Not Blessed)

If it is not of faith, it is sin.



NUMBER FIVE:

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. (Proverbs 24:9 AV)

It is a sin to plan or think wickedly or recklessly. Scorning (See Hank Handegraff post below) is an abomination to men.



IN SHORT:

There are five types of sin. These types of sin are:

1. Transgression - Disobedience to the LORD GOD's Law
2. Unrighteousness - Unjust, immoral and wrong
3. Omission of known duty - Failing to do good what God tells you to do
4. Faithless - Failing to act on faith-filled conviction
5. Foolish acts - Wicked or reckless planning.

For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God Romans 3:23 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1John 1:9

It's time to begin calling Sin, SIN and quit calling it something else. This is not condemnation, this is a call to repentance. It starts with me. And YOU.
