“WHAT IS SIN?”
Conventionally sin is viewed an inherent flaw however the word itself is an archery term which simply means, “TO MISS THE MARK.” This is what the Apostle Paul means when he states, “All men are sinners and miss the mark.”
Examining the word as an archery term a person will most likely miss the target the first time s/he shoots an arrow. If they fail to try again, sin (missing the mark) has killed them. However if they keep sinning gradually they stop sinning (stop missing the mark).
Practice makes perfect.
Scripture teaches GOD loves a good sinner.
Jesus said, “Those forgiven much love much. Those forgiven little love little.”
All the grief we get is given to us by little sinners.
Ignore them.
According to the book they throw at us God will spit them out.
In the wonderful vulgar Greek unlike the Bowdlerized English we are told flatly that GOD views them as skubalon—which means sheer shit.
There are people running around doing everything they can to incite hatred against me. GOD views them as skubalon—which means sheer shit.
A helluva lot of people who should be standing up against these people are sitting down. GOD views them as skubalon—which means sheer shit.
If someone says to you that you are a sinner smile and remember GOD views them as skubalon—which means sheer shit.
