520 |a The conception of sin arose out of practical experience. It rather loosely embraced imperfection as well as conduct due to moral obliquity. The present article undertakes to analyze the inherited idea in the light of modern psychological and ethical conceptions. Sin implies (1) the existence of an objective or socially recognized moral law; (2) awareness on the part of the agent of the binding nature of this law. Sin is thus definitely distinguished from mere imperfection. Consequently, sin must be measured by the moral knowledge of the agent rather than by a rigid objective law. (3) Sin also involves the presence of natural impulses or appetites which influence conduct. These must be psychologically evaluated. (4) The volitional factor must be distinguished from involuntary aspects of conduct. Certain ambiguities in the theological use of the word "sin" are discussed in the light of the above distinctions.
