Sin

So, thinking the other day:

Sin, by definition via linguistic source, is "missing the mark." So if we wanted to quantify sin, we would need to define "the mark." The Apostle Paul's extensive discussion in Romans would indicate that the "law" is functional in this consideration, but not relevant due to the redemption we have through the atonement of our Savior's death and subsequent resurrection. More scripture... or attempt at such. My bible software has only the "King James" and "Septuagint" versions loaded. This is taking longer...

Ok, that was quick. [Since you get this all in milliseconds] But consider this: Jesus was marked /for/ our sin. If "the mark" is that mark, missing that mark would be missing Jesus, who is our redemption. Based on this logic (even though it is somewhat circular - a point of debatable relevance if God exists outside of time), it could be said that sin is being absent of/from Jesus.

Apart from Jesus, redemption is impossible and you would be lost to sin. With Jesus exists redemption, and sin becomes irrelevant. Functionally this could be evidence of the validity of the point I attempted to make using a circular logic flow.

So this was an idea that was cool at the time, but needs more research to validate. So I will do that when I get the time, unless someone else can do it convincingly for me.

-side note: the irrelevance of sin has scriptural evidence but that is a long topic of much debate that I may go on about later sometime. Sufficiently, if we apply the statement to final end result it is (in actuality) correct, even though much can be said in all directions about getting there. Again, please read Romans.-
