[Faith-talk] sin!

[Jeanette]

i think we all strive to be Holy, all of us sin, the difference i think is 
you are refusing to acknowledge that you sin, you want to water it down and 
call it something else so you appear more Holy than the rest of us, 
ridiculous.  of course we none of us want to sin, but we are acknowledging 
we sin, you do not, you want to be better than the rest of us.
