Perhaps this is as good a definition of sin as any- that by nature we humans must inevitably collapse back into our own limited perception and then mistake it for the eternal.

Tinman, thanks for the link.
I like this quote, but I guess I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea that sin is a mistake. I think sin can be corporate, implicit, covert, overt, complicated, and simple, but I don't generally think of it as a mistake. On the other hand, I don't necessarily think of sin as always intentional. I think of it as a condition, a sickness unto death. Cooper-White captures that when she says that this process of collapse is inevitable. Her definition is good, though. It reminds me of God at the end of Job: "Where were you when I created the earth?"
