Ex: If a guy pays his girl to have an abortion ... or if a woman pays someone to kill her husband ... they didn't do it but they requested it ... what do you think?

The person paying is person #1, and the person being paid is person #2. both #1 and #2 are guilty. #1 is in trouble for getting #2 in trouble, and #2 is guitly for listening to #1. so it is a sin for two people, not just one.

Yes, You had the sin in your heart so it makes a sin. Whether you commit it or pay someone else to do it for you.
Like your examples. If a woman pays a person to kill her husband and they don't do it. She could go to jail for conspiring to commit murder. Whether either one actually did it or not. The intent was there.

Probably think about it.. Paying someone to get a sin is basically a sin right there..

Obviously it is a sin and it is bribery. Sin is any act against God's law or purpose. Thou shalt not kill. So all parties are guilty. Same as in the law of the land.

Its a sin- sin cannot be defined just by an action. Paying someone to commit a sin is a sin. It is your intent to commit a sin.

Yes. A sin is in the heart of the sinner, not the deed.
Matthew 5:28 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Yes, it is a sin. Directly opening the pathway for another to sin is a sin. Aiding and abetting someone in the commission of a sin is a sin.

It is a sin multiplied. It is a sin, but it is not normal because a person would be providing an opportunity for someone else to also sin.

As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. Therefore, whoever pulls the trigger, the one having or wanting it done is guilty of the sin itself as well as the one who does the act. Same with adultery - to lust after another is a sin the same as doing the act.

Sin is in the heart. Absolutely
