Lin,
You are asking lots of hard questions. There just can’t be a definitive answer to your questions without a rule book. That is, a rule book outside the Bible. This is what should raise the red flag that they have a wrong view of these passages. If you can’t figure out the parameters of sin from the Bible, who or what will be our authority to decree what is sin and what isn’t? And do we have a say too or does the charge of sin come from select men alone with biblical precedent?
