God Defines Sin

English “sin” emboldened in James 4:17 was translated from Greek feminine noun 266 hamartia that is from Greek verb 264 hamartano that is from a compound of Greek negative particle 1 a and Greek neuter noun 3313 meros that is our part/share/allotment in God’s Kingdom also known as The Kingdom of heaven. In order to understand Greek verb 264 hamartano it is helpful to visualize a gauntlet on each side of God’s pathway unto God’s Kingdom. The Kingdom of heaven, as God defined in Hebrews 12:1 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” understanding that “we also” is in reference “unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” in verse 2. Understanding also the current “so great a cloud of witnesses” figuratively form the gauntlet on each side of the pathway to God’s kingdom trying to push, pull and knock “seven thousand” off the pathway to God’s Kingdom that is “the race that is set before us” considering that when we see the English bible words “us” “we” “our” “ourselves” and “us-ward” bible writers are referring to “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” as God proved in John 15:16 referring to the 11 apostles after the demise of Judas Iscariot and Acts 9:15 referring to the 12^th apostle Paul considering the fact that English “chosen” were translated from Greek verb 1586 eklegomai and Greek feminine noun 1589 ekloge respectively, that was 1 time translated into “chosen” and 6 times into “election” while Greek adjective 1588  eklektos that was 7 times translated into “chosen” and 16 times into “elect” describes and qualifies “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” who the bible writers are among. It is imperative to understand that there was a flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and the Israelites. There is a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” understand “He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second” in Hebrews 10:9 in the context of Hebrews 10:5-10. Luke 12:32 says “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” that brings us back full circle to James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin”.
