Lets see now, if I'm understanding this John rejects Torah. So if this is true John, What then is sin?  From my perspective, if we reject Torah then we quite naturally reject God's law and in rejecting God's Law we therefore have to reject ALL notions of sin.  Without Torah, how are we to know what sin is? Is it a sin according to Billy Sunday or is it a sin according to Anton Le Vey (the satanist)?  Either way this is manmade definition of sin, NOT GOD"S definition of sin!  Now I know I'm far from perfect, but I'll stick with God's Torah and take my spanking like a man.

I am a New Covenant Christian. Regarding the Law,  I understand it's usefulness as expressed in Rom 3-7 and the Galatian letter (among other scripture)  "Torah" is not a word glorified in any of the Christian assemblies I attend.   I have never had any trouble with the definition of sin  -- New Testament scripture presents ample definition.   It is the law or the spirit.   I have no desire to be placed under law  --  kinda like Paul.
