| The Sin: Voluntary transgression of a precept considered good |
Sin comes from the Latin "peccatum", and is defined as the voluntary transgression of a precept considered good. In Greek, sin was said "hamartia", "missed goal" or "missing the mark." It alluded to the concept of living on the fringes of the essential due to a wrong, non-conscious attitude. In Aramaic, the term sin had the meaning of "forgetting", like putting aside.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, whose fundamental source is the Bible, sin has been understood as the departure of man from the will of God, as a free and deliberate transgression of the law of God.
Sin, in my opinion, is the instrument or tool that negative spiritual beings use based on the "weaknesses of men" so that we serve as channels of negative energies in order to harm ourselves, God and others.
In daily life there are innumerable attempts that these energies offer you to access them. When you lie, steal, when you cheat, you speak ill of others, when pride, pride, vanity, lust, greed and laziness knock on your door and you open it, you run the risk of being "used" by question seconds, or a lifetime, for these negative beings.
Fear of telling the truth and therefore you lie, fear of being left with nothing and that is why you steal, fear of not "Being" someone or "known" and that is why pride and vanity enter you, fear of not being humble and therefore You freckles with pride, fear of not feeling bad and that is why you evade falling into lust and gluttony, fear of doing things in your life because they have told you that you are worth little or are of no use and that is why laziness enters you.
How can you counteract all this, With Love. Fear, as we have repeated in several articles, is the opposite of love, so sin is lack of Love because when you live with Love you do not lie because you tell the truth, you do not steal because you are not afraid of be left with nothing, because it is not important to be known but that it is worth knowing you for what you are, you are not afraid of being worthless because you know that you are a Being of incalculable value and because when you act with love you do not have the need to escape nor feel bad to fall into lust and gluttony.
Put into practice the virtues of your heart: temperance, charity, faith, joy, justice, hope, strength, perseverance, discipline, and act wisely in the face of enemies you can defeat.
