All unrighteousness is sin...

James 4:17
Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.

I was reading Hebrews 4 this morning, and remembered this thread. There is a verse here that I believe also speaks to the issue of what sin is, (I emphasized the last part of the verse).

Hebrews 4:14-15
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

So for those people that fall into the category that believes that sin is some biological disorder or genetic mutation, here is another proof that it’s an exercise of free will, falling to temptations that are offered to us daily. Jesus Christ himself demonstrated this for anyone who is willing to see it, He was tempted just as we are, yet without once falling for the bait, unlike everyone else did, starting with Adam and Eve.
