That was my assumption.
But I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
My hypocrisy was not pointed out. Those who claim to follow the Lord yet ignore his word (however way that comes about) are the true hypocrites according to scripture. They measure me a hypocrite based on their OSAS falsehood.
His obvious disregard of scripture under the cover of “interpretation” was on proud display (much like those of his persuasion).
Turning “if we sin willfully...“ into “if we continue practicing sin...”
I marvel at how brashly many here change the scriptures into a lie by fair speeches and good words, great swelling words of vanity, by which they allure, through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption.
Now they should either humble themselves, or continue practicing their OSAS arts to their own detriment.

Re: What is sin ... dictionary: an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.
What is immoral per dictionary: not conforming to accepted standards of morality.
Exactly, that is my point. Sin is not defined by whether the intention was or wasn't a mistake. You proposed that it is not a SIN if the action was a mistake. I merely pointed out that this is not supported by the definition of sin.
Illustration: I can say I cannot SIN if I hold a hotdog in my hand. I have arbitrarily changed the definition of SIN. I merely pointed out that you did the same thing when you arbitrarily said an event is not a SIN if it is a MISTAKE (like I said it is not a sin when holding a hotdog).

Wrong. Doing NOTHING uses a verb too and means no action. “Waiting” is an inactive verb.
However, he wasn’t waiting at all. He had given up his son for dead. That’s not waiting but moving on, He never took any action to get his son back.
As long as the son did ALL. the work of coming....on his own....with no help whatsoever from the father.

You just further confirmed what I already suspected. 
Being unable to defend your position is a lack of intellectual information, not a lack of character.

For the record, this is not about "retribution" but is about seeking reconciliation via repentance. I'm not going to take lying abut others with a grain of salt due to the fact it is an ongoing endeavor by some on here for quite a long while.
Those judging, agreeing, accusing of seeking the former do not know what they are talking about. One would certainly say and accuse of anything other than seeking reconciliation as she, in my honest opinion would not want to see reconciliation or repentance take place. Bashing me in the same response about talking to a brother living in sin, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 &c and warning him as a friend Biblically is absurd and honestly a bit sinister and unBiblical. I pray God brings this man to repentance in spite of efforts to block this from taking place; 2 Peter 3:9.
I am seeking reconciliation, and repentance of an individual to end his campaign of accusing of slander, and lying against me in this very thread. I have been relentless in pursuing it, and that is biblical as well. This is like the second day or maybe third day. If he doesn't repent of falsely accusing me of lying and slander, then that is his problem in the end. He has the ability to do so privately as well.
My objective is to establish ground where dialog without all that can take place on this site, Hebrews 12:14; Luke 17:3, and other passages support this effort.
