Im reading this book called 'Chasing the Dragon' and there is this guy who, when asked what he knows from the word 'sin' , answered, "Sin is walking your own path."
And this is from someone who did not receive much education and was a drug addict. God never fails to amaze me because He gives revelation and wisdom to anyone. And i really mean anyone. God does not practise favoritism and He uses anyone who is willing to avail himself. As it is from 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-- and the things that are not-- to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him."
Anyway, back to the definition. Isnt it just so apt to describe sin that way? In other words, sin is not walking in God's given path. Simple and comprises the full meaning of the word. I like. (:
