Edwin Posted July 12, 2025 Report Posted July 12, 2025 The word "Sin" came from a city that both Isaac and Yacob spent time in. I forget the name, but it lasted until well after Roman times till destroyed by the Turks. In that city and in Babylon, Sin was the name for the Moon; And since the Moon has a face on it at numerous times, I believe it is the face of He who made it and Earth etc. too. So when some one usurps the Law & Logic and Status of the Creator of all things, such folks are taking the position of the Moon and the Creator Hero, The Ahhh. and the Savior of mankind.....sometimes. Thus their actions pretending to be Sin... usurping the Creator came to be labelled as Sin. Quote
Edwin Posted July 12, 2025 Report Posted July 12, 2025 A permit to break the Creator's Word? It could be a license, which is permission to do that which is otherwise un-lawful. I suspect Earth is a proving ground upon which we all prove what we really are. That is why some folks are completely obliterated and those who prove themselves in harmony with the king of all Creation are allowed to live again.... all based on each persons' actions and words.

"Sin: The Path to Excellence" Sin has long been associated with moral failure, but what if we reframe it? I see sin as something essential to human growth—a necessary part of striving for excellence. At its core, sin simply means “missing the mark.” It’s not about wickedness but about falling short of an ideal. Christianity and even Gnostic traditions acknowledge this idea in different ways. The concept of felix culpa—the “happy fault”—suggests that sin is necessary for God’s plan. Whether or not one believes in the supernatural, the wisdom of this idea is clear: missing the mark is a natural part of aiming for something greater. To evolve, both as individuals and as a species, we must take risks and inevitably fall short. This process—of setting goals, failing, and trying again—is what drives progress. Every moment of “sin” is evidence that we’re pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones and striving toward our best possible selves. This is what we do, consciously or unconsciously, at every point in our lives. Even competition, often seen as divisive, is tied to this idea. Competition highlights our shortcomings, creating a contrast between where we are and where we want to be. It creates leaders, innovators, and excellence by encouraging us to improve. Of course, competition produces losers, and those losses can feel like failures or even evoke the idea of "evil." But in truth, every loss is an opportunity—a moment to learn, adapt, and grow stronger. This is why I celebrate sin—not as a call to moral failure but as an embrace of imperfection and growth. Without sin, without missing the mark, we would have no benchmarks for greatness. There would be no leaders to inspire us, no innovators to challenge us, and no progress to drive humanity forward. I don’t believe in the supernatural, but I see wisdom in the way ancient scribes wove this idea into their teachings. Sin, in its truest sense, is not something to avoid but something to engage with thoughtfully. It is the evidence of our striving, our courage to try, and our commitment to evolve. So, I invite you: aim high. Take your shot. Miss the mark. Become a sinner in the best way possible. In doing so, you’ll not only create a better version of yourself but also contribute to the collective excellence of humanity. Quote
