Principle of Spiritual sin

Finally, I repeat, sin, spiritually, is self-centeredness, self-exaltation, desire to be beautiful, vanity, coveting, desire to GET and TAKE, to exalt the self, jealousy and envy, competition, oft-resulting violence and war, resentment and rebellion against authority. These are the PRINCIPLES of spiritual SIN.

After all, sin is not the thing, but the ATTITUDE and the use of the thing in response to a wrong attitude.
SIN is violation of God's spiritual LAW. And that violation always is an ATTITUDE and intention contrary to love toward God and neighbor, and/or the acting upon such attitude or intention.
