Different folks, different strokes.... different minds, different mindset. Wot could be sin of omission for Mr A, may not or cannot be for B. Omitting in putting smiles on someone's face in a month could be a sin for Mr A while Mr B don't give a fig.

If u know what is right, do It and stay miles away from sin.

hopsydboi:
Which one be sin of omission again ? I thought it was an error in accounting..

Am I the only one hearing this for the first time?

OLAADEGBU:


"Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17).

Thanks for the correction. It therefore means that if it is in the Bible it is no longer a personal opinion.

1 Cor 6:13 - Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.

Funny. It's been around a while and it's often mentioned, associated and, or, with the sin of commission.

dhardline:
This are sins that one commit without knowing at that point in time that you have sinned but the Holy spirit quickens your heart immediately after to show you how what you have done is a sin.
For example when telling a story and you keep some of the facts back because of the wrong motives (exageration), probably you want to make people see you in a different light or maybe on a queue and you allow someone enter who was not meant to be there hence indirectly causing others to sin in their hearts e.t.c.

sin of omission is to knowingly omit something when speaking or writing. like you telling your kids about growing up and how Godfearing you were without stating your bad sides.

menxer:


If it's backed by bible verses it is no longer an opinion.

All the same, there is a Bible verse that says "he that knows good and does not do it, it is sin."
Don't ask me where.

Error Of Omission

TEXT: EXODUS 21:26-36

"But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death" (Exodus 21:29).

The principle of responsibility for wrongs done to others, as explained in the Bible, plainly states that one is liable for the actions of his agents as long as he owes that agent a duty of care and control. In the case of animals, it makes little difference that the owner is not aware of its destructive tendencies.

The Lord had given Moses the laws guiding man's relationship with God and fellow man in the preceding chapter, known as "The Ten Commandments". Underlying the commandments governing man's relationship with one another is the principle of equity: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". And to underscore God's view of the sanctity of life, an animal which killed a human being was to be killed; the owner himself was to suffer similar fate if he was aware of the animal's destructive traits.

Today, God still highly upholds the sanctity of life. Sins of omission are as serious in the eyes of the Lord as sins of commission. Carelessness or negligence must be avoided by true followers of Christ. The major difference between man and animal is in man's possession of a reasoning faculty. If we have faculties to guide us in our daily life and fail to use them, then we are culpable before the Lord.

The Scripture enjoins us to walk carefully through life to be able to reap the blessings God has graciously provided for His children. We should watch over our domestic animals to keep them from harming people or destroying their properties.

What is the sin of omission? How can I avoid sins of omission?

Question: "What is a sin of omission?"

Answer: James 4:17 declares, "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." A sin of omission is a sin that is the result of not doing something God's Word teaches that we should do. It is generally used in contrast with the corresponding phrase "the sin of commission," or sins that a person actively commits. Paul juxtaposes the two concepts in Romans 7:14-20. He decries his tendency toward both types of sin. He does what he doesn't want to do and knows is wrong—the sin of commission—and he doesn't do what he knows he should do and really wants to do—the sin of omission. Here is a picture of the new nature in conflict with the flesh in which it dwells.

In the New Testament, the classic example given by Jesus is the account of the Good Samaritan. After a man had been beaten and left in need of help, the first two men to pass by—a priest and a Levite, both of whom knew better—failed to act. The third man, a Samaritan, stopped to show compassion to the man in need (Luke 10:30-37). Jesus used this example to teach that we are to likewise help those in need. By doing so, he clearly communicated that it is sinful to avoid doing good, just as it is sinful to pursue what is evil.

Jesus further describes the sins of omission in Matthew 25:31-46. The goats, those who are sent away by Christ, are those who saw others hungry and thirsty, but did not provide food and water. They are those who saw others in need of clothing, who were sick or in jail but did nothing to clothe or comfort them. These are all examples of sins of omission. There was no sin committed against these needy people—they were not intentionally starved or deprived of their clothing. But the sin of omission was committed when those who could have provided for them chose not to.

Finally, the apostle Paul provides a summary statement that explains why we should do what is right and refrain from sins of omission: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9). When we do the will of our heavenly Father (Matthew 12:50), we avoid sins of omission and live productive, fruitful lives pleasing to God (Romans 12:1-2).
