I still think it's funny that Christianity, as young of a belief system as it is, has constructed itself in such a way that it condemns all those that aren't a part of its club.
It is because of the beliefs that it advocates along with this "sin" that events like the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades happened.

Sin is deliberate disobedience to God, going against His will and laws. The choice to accept Jesus is not a law. It is an opportunity and a priviledge. You are already a sinner, having been born into a fallen race of mankind who by their fallen nature deliberately chooses to sin from the earliest ages. The Moment you recognize that you are sinning and doing things wrong, you need to accept the free provision of forgiveness offered by Jesus which will cleanse you from sin.... Failing to do so before death will result in separation from God for eternity, judgment for your sin, and hell. So in a sense, you could say that since you are already a sinner, adding one more by failing to accept Jesus won't make any difference. Without Him....hell is your eternal home. The Bible tells us all have sinned.... everybody.... and that the wages of sin...the price we get for what we've done... is death, eternal separation from God. But God came to give us life and that life is in His Son... The choice is yours...

As mentioned it is a sin... and for those who would like a bible verse to support it. Matthew 12:30-32.
30"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. 31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
To sum that up in a single statement:
The church is the body of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. You are either in, or out. If you refuse conviction of sin, and therefore decline repentance, you are out. As long as you do this, you are unforgivable – because you do not ask forgiveness.

My thoughts are that as long as you love yourself, love those around you, and love beyond your reach you're as wonderful and as perfect as anyone. No one can condemn a person who lives with such light... even if they DON'T "accept J.C. as their savior".
That is how I've chosen to live my life. Free of labeling. Free of hatred. Free of organized religion.

No funny space guy, how can it be a sin against something you do not accept.
I would wish you the chance though, to discover otherwise.

No. That's just free will and you won't get into heaven. To say things specifically against Jesus Christ as your savior is blasphemy and IS a sin.
If you want to get technical about it.

No, I don't think so. Now, it IS a sin if you don't accept the Luckycharms Leprechaun as your savior.

I'm afraid it is the biggest sin of all. To reject Christ is to be rejected yourself from eternal Salvation in Heaven away from any pain and suffering. Your suffering may just beginning. Sorry Guy!!

hello mullah, in the definition of sin which means to miss the mark an old archery term, it is Gods will that we accept Christ, so if we dont , yes we would be missing the mark.
