I'm not into it, but I am by no means perfect.
Never have been, never will be, til I get to Heaven.
I'm a pretty good person, though. I do my best.
I agree, though, Memory. You're a cool dude.
I'm impressed. You got it together.

Sin: Literally, a missing of the mark, according to the Hebrew and Greek Bible texts. God himself sets the “mark” that his intelligent creatures are to reach. Missing that mark is sin, which is also unrighteousness, or lawlessness. (Rom. 3:23; 1 John 5:17; 3:4) Sin is anything not in harmony with God’s personality, standards, ways, and will, all of which are holy. It may involve wrong conduct, failure to do what should be done, ungodly speech, unclean thoughts, or desires or motives that are selfish. The Bible differentiates between inherited sin and willful sin, between an act of sin over which a person is repentant and the practice of sin.
Jesus was a perfect human. He was born without any blemish of sin and he maintained that perfection throughout his life. “He committed no sin.” He was “undefiled, separated from the sinners.”—1Â Pet. 2:22; Heb. 7:26.
As to Adam’s being perfect, read Genesis 1:27, 31 and Deuteronomy 32:4. When Jehovah God pronounced his earthly creation, including man and woman, to be “very good,” what did it mean? For One whose activity is perfect to have said that what he made was “very good,” it must have measured up to his perfect standards.
The only people that lived on Earth that were perfect as human...
Is there really such a thing as “sin” nowadays?
Illustrations: If a sick man was to break the thermometer, would that prove that he did not have a fever? If a thief said that he did not believe what is written in the lawbooks, would that make him innocent of crime? Similarly, the fact that many people do not believe it is necessary to live according to Bible standards does not put an end to sin.—See 1 John 1:8.
Some people may choose to do what God’s Word forbids. But that does not prove the Bible wrong. Galatians 6:7, 8 warns: “Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh.” The epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, broken homes, and so forth, gives evidence of the truthfulness of what the Bible says. God made man; He knows what will bring us lasting happiness; He tells us in the Bible. Does it not make sense to listen to Him? (For evidence of God’s existence, see the main heading “God.”)

Nobody is without sin, even you, my friend. Jesus was the only person who walked on earth that has ever been without sin. Saying that you are makes you prideful and vain, both of which are sins. But we should all try every day to live without sin.

1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us
"who else is perfect like me?"
That is pride, which is a sin.

Haha! For all have fallen short from the glory of God. Including you. I will mock anyone (except Jesus) six ways to Sunday if they say they are seriously without sin.

The only way we are without sin is when we are covered in the robe of Christ's righteousness. Otherwise our sin remains, and we ALL have sinned. God bless!!

I'm sinning right now. I sinned yesterday, and I plan to sin again tomorrow. I even sin when I'm sleeping.

I don't recognize anything as sin. Lawful and unlawful, but not sinful.
