Sins are the by products of the principle of sin.  So, once again let me ask, &#8220;What is sin&#8221;?  Well if we drop our own speculations and restrict our consideration to the clear revelation of the Bible, we realize that sin is fundamentally a matter of leaving God and doing something by ourselves and for ourselves.  In other words, sin is to take anything other than God as our unique source.  He desires to be the source of our life, of our living and even of our satisfaction.  Any departure from taking Him as our source is sin and it will unavoidably result in innumerable sins.  In that light, now let&#8217;s consider these verses from the very beginning of the Bible, <em>Genesis 2:9, 16-17 &#8220;And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, as well as the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may eat freely &#8230; But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, of it you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Jeremiah (Program #21)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-07-27T06:05:32-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Jeremiah (Program #21) - The Principle of Being One with God\r\n\r\nLet me ask you, &quot;What is sin?&quot;  As you ponder this great and universal question and before you begin enumerating any number of transgressions that would easily fall into the general cate...\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Jeremiah\/Jer_21.mp3\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"15.4\" \/><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2839\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Jeremiah\/Jer_21.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('2839','http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Jeremiah\/Jer_21.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"23px\" height=\"24px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Jeremiah\/Jer_21.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/?powerpress_pinw=7544-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Jeremiah\/Jer_21.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Jer_21.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Religion--Spirituality-Podcas\/Bible-Study-Radio-p959109\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremiah (Program #21) &#8211; The Principle of Being One with God Let me ask you, &#8220;What is sin?&#8221; As you ponder this great and universal question and before you begin enumerating any number of transgressions that would easily fall into the general category of sin, please consider that the Bible makes a clear distinction between [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5562,3],"tags":[27,25,26,2644,5968,7808,29,4884,5970,339,2551,7806,1516,1901,7810,1357,373,567,5135,3996,2518,41,42,5969],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7544"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7544"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7544\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11648,"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7544\/revisions\/11648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
