My son recently watched a movie where a young boy, after having made some extremely poor choices, responded simply, “Mistakes were made.” While we sat together watching the film, this tagline grated on my nerves. We all make mistakes, but we have to own them, or we don’t learn and grow.
Let’s be clear though. What is the difference between a sin and a mistake?
In a talk given by Elder Dallin H. Oaks regarding the subject, he said, “Sins result from willful disobedience of laws we have received by explicit teaching or by the Spirit of Christ, which teaches every man the general principles of right and wrong. For sins, the remedy is to chasten and encourage repentance. Mistakes result from ignorance of the laws of God or the workings of the universe or people he has created. For mistakes, the remedy is to correct the mistake, not to condemn the individual.” 1
One of the main purposes of mortality is to learn by our own experience. We do that by choosing for ourselves, making lots of mistakes and trying again. We shouldn’t be chastised for growth. What a great insight as we serve in callings, have children or interact with any human ever!
Sin is intentionally disobeying the Lord or widening the distance between Him and ourselves. When we are choosing to break away from our God, we must recognize it and bring ourselves back to Him through the atoning power of Jesus Christ. Our sins can be swept away. The Lord promised, “though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” (Isaiah 1:18) We can be renewed and made whole.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. highlighted the distinction between an unintended act and an intended one in his famous observation that “even a dog distinguishes between being stumbled over and being kicked” (The Common Law [1963], 7). 1
Some mistakes may be as small as forgetting to wash the dishes on your night but as serious as stepping in front of a car. The consequences of a mistake may be lifelong. There are sometimes consequences that come along with sin that do not go away but the guilt and the pain of our disobedience can be taken by our precious Savior.
Simply put, we choose to sin but make mistakes by accident. The Lord knows the deepest desires of our hearts. He can identify whether we walk foolishly into something by error or by design. For this reason, it is imperative that we listen to the still voice of the Holy Ghost who will help us be right with our Father in Heaven through the perfect gift of His Only Begotten.
May we always be quick to forgive and slow to condemn as we experience growth through trial and error in our own personal journey of mortality.
“Sins and Mistakes,” Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 1996 General Conference

Hello everyone, I’m Edwin Tomas from New York , USA. and a few weeks ago, I was swindled off $325,000 worth of Bitcoins and Ethereum by a cryptocurrency trader who promised me huge returns on my investment.
I was not aware it was a scam until I tried to withdraw my profits and I was logged out asking to pay tax. I thought I had lost everything until I came across an article just like this about TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.
A cryptocurrency recovery team who was able to recover stolen funds for many other people. I contacted TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY the following day and to my surprise. I was able to recover my money in less than 72 hours.
Their service is truly remarkable and I must commend them for getting my funds back from the hands of these swindlers.
TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY can be contacted throughE-MAIL: Trojanhack@qualityservice.com

How Hackers Gained Access to My Crypto Wallet and Sensitive Data through a Keylogger sent to my device through a phishing email.
I’ll advise others to be wary of the kind of emails they open, as this happened a few weeks ago when a phishing email was sent to my email unknowingly to me that it was a keylogger with the intent of stealing my private information and if not for the intervention of Morphohack Cyber Services, I would have been cleaned out completely. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Services a week after that incident and they detected the keylogger in my computer which has been there for months stealing my private information. If my crypto wallet was not drained, I would not have been aware of the keylogger in my device. Morphohack was able to secure my devices and retrieve my crypto wallet including the crypto assets. Their sophisticated security features and malware can beat any hacking tools available and they are very professional and ethical. Morphohack is a lifesaver and I hugely recommend their services.

I highly recommend a fantastic hacker, who helped me Recover my money after I fell for a fraudulent Crypto Investment scammer. I became broke and couldn’t even afford to pay my bills, and my girlfriend left me because I had lost all of my life savings to this ripper. I saw an advertisement about this recovery MOGUL, so I contacted him at info @ recovery 49 hacker.com and explained my situation .He gave me assurance that I will definitely get my money back, which I assumed was just what hackers do, but when I got the evidence that he could actually get it, I was perplexed .Finally I got my $90,000 USD back from those rippers, which made me so happy. So I decided to let others know about RECOVERY 49 HACKER so they can benefit from its excellent work. Email ( info@recovery49hacker.com )
