Sin: The Word “Sin” Its Linguistic Roots “Sin” Comes From The Old English Synn (Germanic Origin), Meaning Offence, Wrongdoing, Guilt, Failure To Meet Moral Law. But The Original Spiritual Meaning Comes From The Hebrew And Greek Roots Used In The Bible: Hebrew: חָטָא (chata’) Literally Means “To Miss The Mark” Or “To Fall Short” Of The Target. Greek (New Testament): ἁμαρτία (Hamartia) Also Means “Missing The Mark”, Like An Archer Aiming For A Bullseye But Falling Short. So, In Its Oldest Form, “Sin” Wasn’t About Being “Bad” It Was About Error, Misalignment, Or Missing The Purpose You Were Meant To Fulfill
