Someone’s life is in your hands; it all depends on the pulling of a trigger. You don’t want to shoot him but he has a gun pointed at your little sister’s head. You must choose now or you both will die. His body hits the ground with a thud, it’s absolutely sickening but your both safe and that’s all that matters. This boy was ridiculed day and night for killing this man. What the boy thought was a gun was actually a knife. Either way his sister was in danger, but people called him a murder. He committed a sin in these people’s eyes and judged him as bad person automatically. Committing a sin doesn’t always mean you are a bad person because everyone makes mistakes, the sin may have been necessary, and there are many different definitions of sin.
Every person will make a mistake in his or her life they can’t help it. At one point in every person’s life we have committed what we believe to be a sin. Therefore the judgment that if a person commits sins they are a bad person cannot be correct. If that were true than everyone would be a bad person. Now its not true saying that if you kill someone in cold blooded murder that you can still be good inside. There are lots of people that sin and are bad people but the opposite is also true. Take for example, the people in the army. They sin for a living, killing people, but they are the people we most look up to. Their sinning is necessary to our safety in America.
If someone is attempting to kill your loved one, you will try to stop with any means necessary. The story that was told in the introduction was similar to something that happened in California a few years back. All the boy wanted to do was to have his sister live a long life. He had every good intention in his heart, when he pulled the trigger. The boy is a hero for saving a life, but because he had the “unfair advantage” of having a gun people scorned him. The man that broke into his house with the knife is the one that is a bad person. Regardless of what action he actually took, he had every bad intention in his heart. The true bad person is the one with bad intentions.
When someone asks a non-religious person what a sin is they will get a different answer than if they ask a Jew. A person’s definition of sin will change depending on where they come from. If you grew up in a gang, not killing the rival gang is a sin. If you’re a Jew than eating pork is a sin, the list goes on and on. You never know why a person is sinning, or if they even consider it a sin. Saying that someone is a bad person because of sin will almost never give you the right impression of a person.
A girl once heard another girl swear, she decided to not associate with that girl because of that one action. A year later she was lucky enough to get to know the girl that swore and they became friends. A person who sins is not always a bad person because no one is perfect, the sin could have saved lives, and it really all depends on what a sin means to them.
