That's part of what sin is. The other part of sin is more insidious. Sin is a condition or a state of being. One way of getting at it is a favorite question of mine. The joke assumes a condition a state of being.
Men are wrong.
Sin is that same kind of condition. The reality is that there is evil in the world, in this community, in this congregation, and in our own lives that is growing up along side the good. For some of that evil, it is worse to pluck it out than to allow it to grow until the time is right for God to separate the two. Now, as soon as I say that, I start to get uncomfortable. Yes, and there isn't a person on God's green earth who is not hypocritical.
