English term or phrase: specifying himself
Genesis 3:9-13
Adam speaks of his circumstances: he is naked. He is concerned with his circumstances, not his criminality; with his situation, not his sin; with himself, not with God. He admits to no more than what is obvious. he merely acknowledges the general external results of sin without specifying himself as the sinner. His children are yet among us today who tritely consent, "Well, we're human. We're all sinners, I guess." But they refuese to confess actual sins. Adam avoids responsibility and profiles himself as a victim of circumstance.
