Where and how does the Bible provide context for the widely held believe that “G-d defines marriage as between a man and a woman”?

‘Sin’ is a word that not very many people seem to understand outside of the church these days. As a matter-of-fact, ‘sin’ is often associated with positive things (i.e. ‘sinfully delicious’). But the Bible makes it very clear that sin is a BIG DEAL. One of the primary reasons for the Incarnation was for God to deal with sin.

So, what is ‘sin’? What is ‘Original Sin’? Are traditional definitions of these terms still useful and relevant? How do we communicate the concept of sin to the people around us with any meaning?
