Sin

Welcome to my thoughts of the bible, these are my personal thoughts and a way i look at what i have learned over the years and i thought i would take the time to share. As i have read, studied, learned, more questions would come up. So the first thing i thought i would share is truth, what is truth, people say truth is the bible from Genesis to Revelation, they say truth is the Word, well they are all right to me.

Word to ponder today is sin, what is sin?  We can find its meaning at Searchgodsword.org, “miss” in the sense of missing or not reaching a goal, way, mark, or right point, to sin, miss, miss the way, go wrong, incur guilt, forfeit, purify from uncleanness.  In hewbrew Chata' http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02398. 

Some bible verses:

NWT-Judges 20:16 Out of all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed. Every one of these was a slinger of stones to a hairbreadth and would not miss.

KJV-Judges 20:16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.

ASV-Matt 7:14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it

NWT-Matt 7:14 Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it

ASV-2 Tim 3:1-4 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

NWT-2 Tim3:1-4 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God

NWT-Proverbs 13:20 He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly

ASV-Proverbs 13:20 Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

How Does it affect you and I, Sin is a concept of missing the mark, Jehovah shows us by telling us follow the narrow path, not to get too puffed up with pride and not to think to low of our self. Think of a dart board, the narrow path is staying in the middle and not the left or right, the puffed up pride is too high and low self-esteem is too low. Lets stay on target and not sin.
