IS GRAFT AND CORRUPTION A SIN?

IS GRAFT AND CORRUPTION A SIN? I wonder why there is so much graft and corruption in our country, despite the fact that we are claiming to be a Christian country. Jokingly, I have often said that there is no such thing as a Christian country because countries do not go to heaven. Only people go to heaven, their souls I mean, if God wills it, that is. Seriously however, the math simply does not compute, because if the majority of the people in this country, then only a minority of the people will be engaging in graft and corruption. One possible explanation for this great contradiction is that the Christian people in this country do not see a direct connection between their faith, and the sins and wrongdoing that they are committing in their daily lives. Either that, or they might have perfected their daily routine of committing sin and asking forgiveness from God, and then back to committing sin again. But what if these Christians do not even consider graft and corruption to be a sin? What if they think that it is simply just a way of life that they are so used to? Strictly speaking, corruption is the cause of graft, because it is the act of temptation. Graft on the other hand is the outcome of corruption, meaning that it is indirectly the outcome of temptation. The bottom line is that graft is an act of stealing, therefore it is nothing else but sin. Since it is actually theft, the sinner needs not only have to repent, he or she also has to have remorse and then offer restitution. IKE SENERES/04-18-2024
