Is this a sin?

The Bible notes certain sins,like adultery, fornication,etc. Some other actions I see.it may not mention specifically so this question....would not taking no for an answer, after telling someone 20 times you don't want to do their request,considered a sin? I would think so, for 2 reasons.!, you're disrespecting the person,because they acknowledge they heard you,"I know you don't like to _____,BUT,if you could."{And it's not out of desperation,because I notice they have other channels, but want to make it easy on themselves}.Second, wouldn't it fall under selfishness,because they're thinking, it's not YOUR wishes that count, it's theirs, and if they have to do something you don't like,that's your problem.Further society{the world}pushes this type of attitude,"Don't worry about what "they" think,keep pushing it until they "give in". I say it's a sin, because it's an attitude that promotes selfishness, and it lacks consideration for, and disrespects, the next one.Pushing someone to do what YOU want,and not having concern for THEM, sounds like more of a work of the fallen sin nature than a fruit of the spirit.Yes?
 
I don't think the person not accepting you saying no is a sin, it's just disrespectful. Selfishness, however, is a sin. Selfish people are very dangerous because they will go to extreme lengths to get what they want. They don't care about anyone or anything but themselves and they don't care who they hurt in order to get what they want. And if you're not careful, their selfish ways will bring you down and lead you to sin. They don't listen to anyone and don't care what anyone says. When you say no, it just goes in one ear and out the other. I hope your situation gets better and I'll be praying for you and this person.

One thing I see the unsaved do is, they "compare sins", and measure themselves and their "sins against others, coming away with the conclusion that, (by their standards) they're considered a "good person". But isn't this a deception, because "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"...

What I observe… the unsaved we can say don’t know any better, but even with Christians I see, there are things like infidelity, marriage and remarriage, etc. I used to think it was just hypocritical, but I see even when looking at myself how sins can “take root.” Something like, when looking at...
