asaris, Greed/Avarice by definition is "An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves."
Righteous anger is not a sin. Wrath is excessive anger. Being angry over something longer than required, and/or seeking revenge where it's not necessary.
Of all of the sins listed in and out of the bible, "excessive" is right there before every one of them.
I say that letting a child drown just because you aren't getting a reward to save him is excessive desire.
orphen, Jesus abolished MANY sins of the old testament. The only problem is that they weren't well documented and now we have belief that eating pork and lobster is all well but being homosexual is still an abomination. I don't know if it's still a sin or not, It doesn't much matter to me because it's not by place to judge them.
