In the religious sense, a sin is described as an immoral act considered to be a transgression against the divine laws which are contained in sacred religious texts such as the Torah, the Holy Bible, and the Quran.
You are most likely a sinner as well and it doesn’t matter if you are a Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Gnostic, and or a Satanist/Atheist. Let me please explain why…
The English word sin means to “miss the mark.”
It is derived from the Biblical Greek New Testament ἁμαρτία hamartia “sin”, missing the mark (failure or error) which is derived from the Hebrew hata – “sin”. A word that originates in archery and literally refers to missing the “gold” at the “center of a target,” but hitting the target – i.e. “to miss the mark”
So when we sin, we often and still do miss the “gold mark” at the center of a target of our heart and Golgatha (‘place of the skull’ where Jesus was ‘crucified’) because we are NOT complete in Christ, who is the “head” over every ruler and authority.
For it is said in 1 Corinthians 11:3; “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.”
This error in not knowing Christ – ie: not truly using “reason and our heads” leads us to “miss the mark or sin” when we think and act. Thus, when we are not complete in Christ, we often react to life’s situations immorally like the executioners of Jesus who placed him upon the logos, a word that means reason and crucified him at Golgotha, the Place of the Skull.
What I mean by this exoteric terminology is that we humans have a unique to think, reflect and or react to something but we often do not use it because we have not been taught or we forget that we have this “ability.”
The ability I speak of can be found in the story of Cain and Able. This story details the unique ability humans have to “think before we act” and by doing so, “we make conscious choices to sin or not” and we also the ability to “reflect or meditate on our actions or sins” after we have made a choice with our actions.
If we truly think and take the time to meditate on our thoughts before we act by connecting to our hearts, we can then have self-knowledge (Gnosis) which can then lean to “hitting the mark” or not sinning – ie: moral lives.
Instead, most of us miss the mark at the center of a target of our heart and minds so we sin – ie: we act immorally like Cain and we have become Cainanites and Satanists – ie: artificers of selfishness, envy, hatred and murder instead of true Gnostic Christians. It is from this spiritual ignorance ie: inability to reach Gnosis that leads many of us to kill our brother “Able or Ability” to then become “selfish wandering murderers, convicts and fugitives in God’s kingdom.”
The meaning of the word ability implies talent, expertise, adeptness, mastery, and accomplishment.
It is important that we have the “ability” to understand the meaning of the words we think and speak if we ever want to have talent, expertise, adeptness, mastery, and accomplishment first in our thoughts and mind. This talent or mastery of words we can then have true ability to respond (responsibility – AKA response-ability) to these thoughts which then equate to our actions – ie: our daily thoughts and lives.
Hence, being truly responsible is to be “able to respond”. Not just the simple daily act of taking care of what is needed to be done materially in our secular daily lives but to put the actual spiritual understanding of the words we think and speak and why and how things are done into practice.
We must not just speak, read and or study words whether it be in our favorite sacred book or anymore – We must live by the spirit of them!
For as the great Christian Gnostic Saint John had said, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him.”
You see – first was the word which was with God in the beginning which we can equate to our thoughts which are composed of words and “all things were made by him” which are “words put into action/ideas/creations.”
The reason many of us sin is because we are spiritually confused. We have purposely been turned upside down and exiled from ancestral homelands to become wanderers and convicts in foreign lands. Ordo Ab Chao.
Much of this confusion I have found derives from our lack of “true spiritual education” in regards to the etymology of our language and the hidden meanings of the words we think and speak. This is especially true when it comes to the Sacred Books of the Abrahamic religions.
This confusion is spoken about in the Scripture about the Tower of Babylon – The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion.
What I have discovered is that the confusion is the result of truly not understanding the words we speak and the intended meaning. This ignorance then leads us to have the inability – ie: no ability or no expertise to think correctly or in the Christian sense, morally.
This causes many of us to error upon our paths in life – ie: sin or miss the mark and by doing so, we have lost our connection with the Creator or what Christians would call the Father – ie: God.
In the Scripture, we can find an example of this sin after Cain slew his brother Abel, God set a “mark” on him, and sent him to the land of Nod – ie: Ignosis, or Ignorance where he became wandering – ie: a lost soul because Cain sinned – ie: missed the mark at the center of the target – his head and heart which is the true connection to our souls and God.
Therefore, many of us carry the curse of Cain and the mark of Cain – ie: Ignosis or Ignorance of our divine natures because we “keep repeating the same acts as Cain” with our sins of selfishness, envy, hatred and the murder of “our ability” to use reason and our heart in thinking and actions.
These are crimes of the Divine Law that today we call sins and our ancestors would say we have “missed the mark”. This is a story of Spirit and matter. Gnosis and Ignosis. Flesh and blood. The religion of the God of Heaven and that of the Prince of the Earth – Satan.
So, what happens when we – miss the mark?
I do not know about you, but when I reflect on my own sinning behaviors in this life such as my selfishness, hatred and envy, I begin to clearly witness my evil Brother Cain looking back at me in the mirror.
I witness my crimes for what they are. Like Cain, I then hide in shame from my hideous – murderous face.
If you are like me or Cain – ie: a sinning Christian, the Bible makes it clear what will happen to you. You will carry the “Mark of Cain” – sin as your calling card.
Not only that, you will be cursed as when it is said, “Because of this, Noah cursed Ham’s son, Canaan by saying that he was to be “a servant of servants”. (Genesis 9:20-27)
When I look at our world today, I see just fellow servants like me whether it be in our capitalistic business system ruled by megalithic corporations or lying politicians seeking to rule over me so I can serve them.
A death spiral of devils. The Fallen Ones in realtime – Canaanites cursed to be servants of servants.
Meaning that if you act like Cain, the “spirit of Cain” will rule over the sins of your flesh and just my fellow Christians are fully aware, the kingdom of the flesh, materiality and sin – the “wisdom of the world” is under the rule of Prince of the World – Satan.
Therefore, by acting like Cain, you become a “practicing or defacto Satanist” regardless of how many times you claim to be born again or how many Hail Mary’s your perform.
Hence, you will NOT inherit the kingdom of heaven regardless if some pastor told you all you have to do is “believe in Jesus” and you will be saved.
If there was a spiritual marketing sign for a Church to help commemorate this event in our modern Canaanite Age, it might read in bright neon lights, “Over 30 billion souls served to Satan for the sins of Cain.”
The Messiah Jesus makes it crystal clear when he is asked who will enter the kingdom of heaven such as in Mark 10:15; “Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all,” and John 3:5; Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
When I look upon my own young children today, I see exactly what Jesus is talking about when he says that in order to enter heaven, we must receive the kingdom of God like a child.
It is only the child who knows who to have unconditional love. They are not hateful and prideful and the young child truly does not know yet how to sin because they have not been corrupted by us “Canaanite parents” and the “false wisdom of the world.”
They know love and how to play and have fun. We can say, they truly have the Gnosis on how to live.
Most of all, when children are babies and toddlers, they have not yet learned how to emulate or should I say perfect the sins of Cain from their Christian Canaanite parents whose influence “in this Age” will most likely lead to another selfish murder of Able.
One more selfish convict sacrificed to the Curse of Cain – left to roam the earth in sin and Ignosis.
Dear Lord, I pray;
“Lord, I AM a sinner. I have missed the mark.
I stand before you guilty – a liar, a beast, a convict.
But now that I’m Able to see my hideous face for what it is, I know this curse won’t last long.
I repent, meaning, I stand upright and I’m no longer in a spiritual prison pen – caged in by the selfish sins of my flesh.
For I no longer serve the adversary – Satan and the wisdom of the world.
This sword I used to slew my Brother, I must pound into a plowshare.
No longer will I miss the mark now that I have the Gnosis (knowledge) of my fall.”
