In my ethics class (the one I'm taking), we're discussing Ideal Code, Real World by Brad Hooker who brings up an interesting issue. The question is whether wrongness and blameworthy are two different things. There are examples where they seem to be different, so my question is, which one goes with sin. If I did something wrong, but am not to blame, does that mean I sinned? Or what if I am to blame for something, but didn't do anything wrong? Is sin blameworthiness or wrongness or both?
I don't know the answer. I'll have to think about that one.
Posted by Tim at September 14, 2004 10:05 PMHere is your mother with the simplistic mind! I must comment on your blameworthy question. Does it really matter which one goes with sin? Seems to me that if I have done something wrong or am being blamed for something not my fault that the response should be the same.....forgiveness. Asking God to forgive me if I was wrong or was being blamed unjustly. Also asking people to forgive me if they thought I was wrong or for any part I might have had for them to blame me. (Does this make sense)Humility! I am sorry for anything I did or anything you thought I did!
