And this follows along with what I have been saying. If it is a political entity, all laws and edicts are enacted because of the morality of the day. Why was it a sin to be gay? Morals. Even the church, or at least some churches have changed their positions on what is or isn't a sin.
Why do they have to be? Do you think everything our government does is moral, or for the good of the people? And ours is a democracy - not a theocracy, or a dictatorship like the governments of the past.
What sins do you think have no personal/social basis?
Not acknowledging thine iniquity (Jere 3:13) - Power by establishing lack of value in the people
Afraid to confess Jesus to the people (Jn 12:42) - Spread of empire
Not becoming as a little child before god (Mt 18:3) - Power through establishing incompetence in the people
Wearing the clothing of the opposite sex (Deut 22:5) - Fear and bigotry, really. I suppose you could debate this one, but on what grounds other than fear and bigotry?
Turning to false counsil/fables (2 Tim 4:4) - You can only believe in OUR fairytales (power)!
Not submitting to the king (all over the place) - Blatant political power.
Debating (Ro 1:29) - Heh. Just for the lolz. Though I suspect this had to do with not allowing the people the impression of self-empowerment
Not fearing god (all over the place) Control through fear
Robbing god by not giving 10% of your income, and offerings (Mal 3:8) - Obvious greed of the Church, and by proxy the government
Being an effeminate man (Cor 6:9) - Bigotry
Not being perfect (all over the place) - Impossible goal to inspire shame in the people, look to authority for guidance
A teacher being called a rabbi (Mt23:8) - Distaining religious competition (the bad guys)
Not believing (Rec 21:8) - Fiating its own rightness into existance for no reason
Wives not submitting to their husbands (Eph 5:22) - Continuation of oppression (you can argue morals, but it's no more arguable than the morality of slavery - they did it because they could and they liked the power)
I could go on, there are hundreds more, but I'm getting bored...
