[The New Testament shifts perspective on the Old.\u00a0 The OT Hebrew words for \u201csin\u201d applied to individual kings and subjects, kingdoms and peoples.\u00a0 The NT singular dissolved the focus, looking short-range and long-range.\u00a0 The singular \u201csin\u201d \u201cmisses the mark\u201d by removing \u201c—\u201d from \u201cwhatever is before you\u201d.<\/p>\n
Imagine entering an empty town, abandoned in a hurry, where did everyone go?\u00a0 You walk into a house that was once a home.\u00a0 The door is open.\u00a0 The television is on with the 6 o\u2019clock news hour.\u00a0 Nobody is there, but the broadcast continues, as if it had been recorded days, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia before.<\/p>\n
When \u201canomia<\/i>\u201d lost the core association to the word \u201cnomos<\/i>\u201d, it went from \u201cwithout law\u201d to \u201cwithout —\u201c.\u00a0 The word \u201corder\u201d is close but does not suffice for “—“.<\/p>\n
You realize that the news report tells of a crisis being resolved by the anointed leaders.\u00a0 Stay calm.\u00a0 There is nothing to worry about.\u00a0 You are not responsible for whatever happens.\u00a0 Everything is in control.<\/p>\n
Such is the \u201csin of the world\u201d: a hollow broadcast that absolves you of responsibility even as it falters and triggers the sudden demise of \u201ceverything you have, imagine you have, or pretend to have\u201d.<\/p>\n
As noted in An Archaeology of the Fall<\/i>, the \u201ctruth\u201d is the opposite \u201cdeception\u201d and the \u201ctruth\u201d is the opposite of \u201cfalse\u201d.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
