It's not that people sin any more or less these days. What happens is that 'sin' is a great headline grabber, so that is the bulk of what is reported on the tv and the news. Because there isn't enough room in a paper or time on a tv station to report EVERYTHING important that happened, it takes an individual getting information from a wide variety of resources in order to see a clearer picture.
Also, as our society evolves, what constitutes a 'sin' or not can change. But because this change usually happens legally before it happens socially, many people still think in terms of the old notions. This means that, although it is now ok and legal for women to be sexually open, many people still equate that with sinning.
The major sins never really change. Killing someone for no good reason has always been bad. But whether or not its ok to beat the crap out of someone, and to what extent you can do that, allows for alot of wiggle-room in the public's perception. If you see alot of sinning, perhaps it is because you see your inner self being reflected outwards. In terms of sin, its always better to worry about the care of one's own house before worrying about the condition of other people's houses.

Um, you started out with a question there yet via the tip you had given your self an answer and have been basically style of transforming into a fact. Edit- i'm no longer an fairly religious person. the different day somebody known me from intense college and asked if I remembered him. I reported, "particular, you used to overcome up my little brother perpetually." He could no longer think of of something to assert for a pair minutes. Then he asked me for my forgiveness. (he's because grow to be a born back Christian.) This all got here approximately back as quickly as we've been childrens, yet i did no longer sense gentle forgiving him. I instructed him so. quite, he mandatory my brother's forgiveness, no longer mine. In any undertaking, i think of the 1st person you ought to hunt for forgiveness from is the guy you have wronged. despite if it quite is greater of empirical style of sin, like taking the lords call in ineffective, then, in case you have faith in God, surely ask his forgiveness. i might frown on attempting to get forgiveness from God in case you haven't any longer a minimum of asked for forgiveness from those you ought to have wronged. As for 'people who do no longer settle for Jesus save their sin and are not forgiven.' i wish you comprehend that there are 2 completely diverse takes on that basically interior the Christian faith. There Evangelical communities that have faith this type, yet there are additionally huge swaths of Christianity that have faith which you're judged via what you do, that a good guy who's a Hindu or a good Buddhist can get to Heaven (even a good atheist, in spite of the reality that that should confuse the atheist somewhat) can pass to Heaven. that's what separates the conservative and innovative branches of the religion. in case you have an activity in seeing some very nuanced communicate of religion you ought to end over at Meaningoflife.television. Cardinal Lorenzo Albacete's interview is magnificent.

Speak for yourself. Since I'm an atheist, I don't believe in the concept of "sin". I try to be a good person, but I have my bad habits and vices just like everyone else. Thankfully, I don't have to live my life terrified of ending up in some fiery inferno .... I know damn well I'm on my way to being worm food, and they don't care how many bad habits I had while I was alive ... I taste the same either way.
Actually, the vodka flavored liver might be a nice treat for them ...

The 7 deadly sins are at most likely up to their peak, meaning mankind is at it's lowest. People can't really escape temptation.

Their priorities in life are different now.
Valuing material possesions and power(among other things) over other things such as righteousness and loyalty.
Doing wrong just to some,isn't that big of a deal anymore.
Its sad.

These days... Dude, read your history. "Sin" is not on the uptick. If you don't do awful things, why not? Because it's the right thing to do, or because you don't want to get caught? Everything is relative.
