What Sin Actually Is

“The reason we were attacked in our little controversy in Moscow was not because we would not condemn racism as a sin; we had done so repeatedly and clearly. The reason were were slandered in the way we were was simply because we refused to say that racism was a sin against the State or against humanity. All sin, if it is indeed sin, is sin against God. It is God’s character and law which are offended by sin. We maintain that racism is a sin against God, and that it will be judged in the light of His holiness at the last day. It is not a sin against Congress or against the Supreme Court. It is not a sin against the whims of demos or against the bureaucrats down at Health and Human Services. God hates it, and He always will. But democrats do not want a final or ultimate word like this” (Black and Tan, pp. 16-17).
