...they both missed the mark.

Yes.

I see that you are talking about sin strictly from the standpoint of pleasing God and achieving individual salvation. I'm not. I don't think obsession about our individual salvation should be our only concern in life; or should color everything we deal with or think about. That seems to be a miserable way to live.

Shouldn't we care about right and wrong for it's own sake? We should try to avoid wrong and to do good simply because it's the right thing to do, bearing in mind we are flawed and imperfect and that some things are more important than others.

Our viewpoints are different -you seem to be concerned with what someone needs to do achieve personal salvation and I'm looking at things from the standpoint of how I think we should live in the world.
