Crime and Sin. What's the difference? This seems to be a pretty popular topic, and i hate to overdo things, but this is especially meaningful for me, and some of the other sophmores as well, because it was basically the theme of our first semester in honors lit, talking about Socrates and Martin Luther King.
Crime is disobedience to the law of the land, the man made law, the government if you will.
Sin is disobedience against God's law and moral code.
Crime is often times a sin, but many times its quite the opposite. Sometimes, like in Martin Luther King's case, the 'crime' he committed was following God's will and direction for his life.

Crime is usually a sin, because God says that we have to obey the laws of our country. But if those laws are made immoral, and against God's laws, then we have to obey God's laws, and if it's a crime to disobey man's laws, it might not be a sin.
