Simpler Ommission vs Commision Scenario
I'm admitting ahead of time that my goal with these questions is to try to show logically that people are just rationalizing when they make huge distinctions between sins of omimssion and sins of commission. Meaning that that since sins of ommission are commonplace for almost everybody, we are all sinners who have no right to be saved unless we accept Jesus's forgiveness. Er, rather I mean we are all advanced animals who deep down are simply trying to maximize our personal pleasure and satisfaction even if we sometimes derive it from pretending to be "moral."
Take this scenario. A private pilot at a small unlit airport is waiting for you to show up before dusk with your $1000 rental fee to deliver some perishable goods that will earn you $700 profit after the delivery. But he, nor anyone else, can take off after 8PM. You said you would be there by 7:55 at the latest, but probably sooner At 7:52, a distraught man clutching $600 asks the pilot to fly him to his son because he has the medicine that will save his life. But time is of the essence. The pilot doesn't care about his son but even a $600 fee is worth it to him so he agrees, since it looks like you won't make it on time. At 7:54 you show up as the plane is taxiing away. The pilot stops, you wave your $1000 and demand your plane. The father screams out the situation to you. You tell him you are sorry but it is not your problem. Especially given the $700 diffence in your pocket. The pilot says he must ask the father to leave the plane so he can ferry you. The father now shoots you in the leg so you must abandon your plans and go to the hoispital. The pilot takes off with the father. What if any sins were committed here? Are they sins of ommission or commission? |
