Whether all Sins are Voluntary (Commonplace 13.2-6)

Episode Summary

In this inaugural episode, Jared Mindel of the Scholastic Lutherans YouTube channel joins me to discuss Commonplace 13.2-6, where Gerhard asks whether all sins are voluntary. Do involuntary disordered desires count as sins? How does the Lutheran definition of sin as "lawlessness" differ from other Christian definitions?
