Uh, none? You're the one claiming he died for "your" (my/their) sins. I'm curious to know what you think those are/were, since you're making such a bold claim.
So you're basically admitting that you're putting out statements in regards to things you know nothing about? That is, you are stating "Jesus died for your sins", and yet you don't know anything about said sins? This implies the sins might as well be non-existent, and the sentence altogether false: Jesus didn't die for any sins, since the sins themselves cannot seem to be delineated to begin with.
yes He died for your Sins, and the Sins of everyone, Sins can easily be "delineated" if you want to "delineate" them,
but you have to study first before you can "delineate" them, without study you just have and empty head full of opinions that don't mean anything
You're speaking in generalities. It's difficult to conceive of a loving God being so perverse as to enforce upon his creation the burden of specialized study of obscure, ancient texts. Rather, "But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jer 31:33). Also, "For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law. They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge people's hidden works through Christ Jesus." (Rom 2:14-16). When it comes to <<sinning>>, I contest your assertion that "without study (of religious books, I suppose) you just have an empty head full of opinions that don't mean anything". I do agree, nonetheless, that the study of philosophy, literature, and history, can help to develop such internal morality the Bible speaketh of.

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

So is it or is it not true that <<the law>> is inscribed "within our hearts", such that everyone knows right from wrong, seemingly by default?
