RE: What Exactly Are Sins?
May 2, 2015 at 2:04 pm
The Hebrew word chattath and the Greek word hamartia both have a verb form which means literally to miss. At Judges 20:16 for example, the Benjamites would not miss their target when slinging stones. Sin simply means to miss the mark set by another. To sin against your boss, spouse, or government would be to fail to live up to their expectations, in as simple a thing as keeping an appointment, showing up for work on time or breaking the law. Adam sinned against Jehovah in that he failed to follow the instructions given.
