Evil and a Sin

The difference between evil and a sin is analogous to the difference between falsehood and a lie. Tho say something is a lie has a higher standard of proof than to say something is false. To prove it is a lie you must prove that it is not only false but that the person knew it was false when he said it. In the same way to prove something is a sin has a higher standard of proof than to prove it is evil. To prove it is a sin you have to not only prove that it was evil but that he knew it was evil when he chose to do it.

Evil does not separate us from God as much as sin. Sin is worse than evil.
