Is exceeding the maximum posted speed limit a sin?

You might spill your beverage if you go too fast, Dude.

The speed limit is "posted" in the law that limits speeds on county roads. You are expected to know that law. The phrase, "exceeded the posted speed limit" is just something the officer was told to write on a speeding ticket when citing someone for speeding.

Exceeding maximum speed limit is not a sin, it is just a bad habit, or an unethical behavior. However, the Catholic Church might have made that a sin, I would have to check up on it.

Render unto God the things that are God and to Caesar the things that are Caesar...it is sinFUL to break a law. You are by your action taking someone else's life into your own hands. The moment you step into a car drunk or purposely speed..you will be accountable to God. Free-will allows you to do this, but your spirituality should stop you...putting the safety of others first because you have a responsibility to your fellow man.

Good one, its a question of mans law and Gods law. As Christians awe are to follow mans law as far as it doesnt interfere with Gods law therefore we are to follow the speed limit, HOWEVER in this particular law you are only at fault if you get caught and also then it would be a sin, so fighting it when you know you did it is a sin, but if you dont get caught or cause damage etc as a result of it then it wouldnt be sin anymore than you would be accused of breaking the law. I hope I got this across. I KNOW there are Baptists out there who so disagree God love em!lol

Anything you might do that puts others at risk would be a sin. If the powers that be determined the maximum speed one can reasonably go without the undo likelihood of putting others at risk, then why would you want to go faster than that?

.

Yes.

The degree of sin is related to your awareness of the situation (culpability), the degree by which you exceed it (assent), the degree of peril created by the infraction (severity) and your personal disposition towards obedience at the time of the infraction (desire).

God judges your personal degree of culpability by the third variable. The degree of sentence is decreed by second and third variables. The first variable is a mitigating factor to the sentencing (2nd & 3d variable) when applicable. (I didn't see the sign officer)

Getting caught is not what makes an act sinful. The moment that your conscience makes you ask, you are entering sin, and it is your last chance to back away sin-free. To continue the act, increases the sinfulness.

CHRISTIANS are expected to obey the laws of the land

If the law doesn't contridict God's laws

(Romans 13:1-4) 13 Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. 2 Therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will receive judgment to themselves. 3 For those ruling are an object of fear, not to the good deed, but to the bad. Do you, then, want to have no fear of the authority? Keep doing good, and you will have praise from it; 4 for it is God’s minister to you for your good. But if you are doing what is bad, be in fear: for it is not without purpose that it bears the sword; for it is God’s minister, an avenger to express wrath upon the one practicing what is bad.

Let's see....Jesus told us to render to Caesar (govt) what was his. Paul told us to honor the king (govt.) Speeding is breaking the law.

I'd say that it is a sin, but not just because you were speeding. It's because you were prideful enough to think they didn't apply to you for some reason.

Yeah, aren't christians supposed to obey the laws of the land?

It is against the law - but that does not make it a sin

Only the Lord God can judge what was in your heart as to why you acted in such a manner.
