Disobedience may take the form of sins of ____ or sins of ____ .

• A. Thought; deeds
• B. Attitude; behavior
• C. Omission; Commission
• D. Belief; practice

Answer: (C)

Disobedience shows up in two ways: what you fail to do and what you actively do wrong. In biblical and theological usage, these are called sins of omission and sins of commission. A sin of omission occurs when a commanded or required duty is neglected—you don’t act when you should. A sin of commission happens when you deliberately do something forbidden or contrary to God’s will—an active disobedience. Together, they cover both neglect and action as forms of disobedience.

The other options don’t capture this standard distinction. Thought vs deeds focuses on internal mental states versus outward acts, which isn’t the traditional dichotomy for disobedience. Attitude vs behavior similarly splits internal posture from external action, and belief vs practice mixes conviction with outward conduct rather than the omission/commission framework.
