It would be nice if some christians really knew what the biblical word "sin" meant. In Hebrew and Greek form. The Thought. is "Missing the Mark"! And if some christians knew why God created the "Hebrew and Aramaic" Language for the OT and why He created the "Greek Language" for The New. and what is the meaning of the term; "Missing the MArk". This teaching have become lost and a alien in the modern day 'instructions of biblical interpretation".
For decades ago into the past, The 1st. course and a prerequisite for any student of the bible was; "Introduction to the Bible". You could not take any bible courses or class. Before you understood the bible, and how it was written, and why the Original languages, was created by GOD. And why the word "SIN" was used and what it meant! "But this fallen and depraved" world have no idea and do not care what the word "SIN" really means and lot of Christians don't either. But when you bring it up they want to argue, why? Because they have "Miss the Mark"! And it is "Torture" to the ears of a "Righteous" soul", Then that produce another argument. Why, because they have "Miss the Mark"! of a "Righteous soul"! Now that produce another argument! Why, Because they "Miss the MArk". "and men [humans] loves darkness rather than light" why? because they "Miss the Mark" Then that produces another argument! The christian replies: You are not talking about me, then the argument begins agains. why? You have "Miss the Mark"! And do not know what "Missing the Mark" means, because "you do not see the Picture"! Because our leaders never wanted us too. But wanted our blindness to stay. That they may lead us. and not the True Shepherd of The Sheep! "But if the blind leads the blind" God said: " They both will fall into the ditch". Taking directions and following a blind man and traveling at night on a dark and narrowing road, filled with curves and valley's and hills with your famliy in the car and your wife riding shot gun sleep and the kids in the back seat fighting and screaming, "are we there yet"! And as the man, the head of your family, you knew you should not, had listen to that "Pulpit Pimp" That Sunday morning stick up artist. For in reailty, you have "Miss the Mark" and "TEKEL"
American Standard Version
TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Adam we cannot win the fight, this world, our children and women will take over! we must become a living sacrifice, this prophecy will come to pass: It will come to pass! believe it or not! It will come to pass. But in failure and overrun. His word will still come to pass.
(Isaiah 3).
10Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the wicked!
Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back
for what their hands have done.
12Youths oppress my people,
women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;
they turn you from the path.
13The Lord takes his place in court;
he rises to judge the people.
14The Lord enters into judgment
against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
15What do you mean by crushing my people
and grinding the faces of the poor?”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
16The Lord says,
“The women of Zion are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
18In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,
19the earrings and bracelets and veils,
20the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms,
21the signet rings and nose rings,
22the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses
23and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.
24Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;
instead of a sash, a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;
instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;
instead of beauty, branding.
25Your men will fall by the sword,
your warriors in battle.
26The gates of Zion will lament and mourn;
destitute, she will sit on the ground.
you can explain it away, use anytype of "Biblical hermeneutics" you choose! This prophesy is coming to pass! And if anyone was born in the early 1950's you can see this prophesy unfolding clear as day. If God has not blinded your eyes!
I didn't write the Book, And I believe GOD and I do not need a Interpreter for I got one living in me!
New American Standard 1977 (John 16)
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak;
and He will disclose to you what is to come.
