Reflections on the reality of Sin

Derek Chopra, NY times bestselling author of Peace is the Way, claims that sin is not reality and that instead of sin, a more accurate description would be ignorance. However, Greg Koukl definitely refutes this claim. Claiming that we are obviously aware of our sinfulness precisecly b/c we all feel guilty. And the solution to guilt is forgiveness (through Christ) not the denial of it. Chopra responds that we are all trying the best we can to live good lives, so we should not feel guilty. And Koukl accurately explains that we all know that we are not putting our utmost effort in living in how we know we should. No one would honestly say that they have, and are, making every effort to live the kind of life they know they should. You can check out this video at this link
