To Sin Is Not A Sin, In ANY religion

To Sin Is Not A Sin, In ANY religion.

This article was researched and written by my brother, Michael Samuel, a brilliant scholar who studied many ancient teachings and religions. I took this from our conversations because I feel it would be beneficial for more people to understand.

I have merely edited his notes. I have decided to publish this as the concept of 'sin' is the most debilitating poison to control the masses that has ever been invented.

My work is to help people attain freedom from guilt and manipulation by anyone; parents, friends, marketing, politics and especially religion.

The use of guilt to control is something everyone has experienced, and sadly, most people have succumbed to, thus wasting their life.

To be like a cloud is to be free, no one can lay a guilt trip on a cloud. As you will have read in my other articles, the gods do not want us to be free, nor do the priests and power hungry religious leaders. Your prison chains are guilt.

I wish only that you become free so you can finally start to live a happy and healthy life. And now, from my late brother Michael, who died in February 2022 in a horrible reaction to the covid vaccine.

SIN IN OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW: (about 3,000 years old)

We'll stick to the Hebrew, which is the main language here. There are about a dozen different terms for sin. The most common term is "chata." Philologists understand the literal meaning of this term to be: "missing the right point" (Theological Dictionary, vol. 1, p. 271).

Here are some examples:

i) Proverbs 19.2: He that rushes with his feet (is hasty) goes astray ("choteh"). (not "sins").

ii) Job 5.24, where "lo te-CHETA" does not mean: "you shall not sin," but: "you shall not miss / fail to find what you are seeking."

iii) Judges 20.16: regarding the experts in the use of the sling-shot. They could hit a hair from quite a distance and "lo ya-CHATI" (not "they did not sin" but: "they did not miss the mark.")

iv) Psalms 25.8, "God is good and just, therefore He guides the CHATA'IM on the Path." Though most Rabbinic commentators interpret CHATA'IM as sinners, I feel justified, based on the above examples, in interpreting it: He guides those who are lost...

I, David, added this as Buddhism was more my strength, as this fits in the timeline between the old and new testaments In the teaching of Buddha, 2,500 years ago, there is no concept of 'sin' at all. Buddha kept it very simple by saying, "you have missed the mark, try again."

SIN IN NEW TESTAMENT GREEK: (The first version of the new testament was written in a form of Greek as that was the most common language spoken at the time, making the new testament more widely accepted)

These examples show a few of the meanings of just one of the many Hebrew terms that are wrongly translated as "sin." Ancient Hebrew has sophisticated terminology when it comes to this subject, the root CHATAH being just one of many forms. Greek is a bit less discriminating. The common translation for CHATAH in the Greek version of the Hebrew Bible, called The Septuagint, is the family: AMARTIA, AMARTANO, ETC... which also has the meaning of "not to hit" or "to miss." It can mean "intellectual shortcoming," and so the Sophos (wise man) is contrasted with the Amartanon ("one who is in error" -- and not "one who is in sin.")

Thus, the Christian writers of the New Testament, could merge both the Hebrew and pagan Greek understanding of CHATAH - AMARTANO in the sense of "missing the mark"...

These examples show a few of the meanings of just one of the many Hebrew terms that are wrongly translated as "sin."

David speaking again. As you can see, the idea of ["]{dir="rtl"}sin" was introduced much later as a means of controlling people and was never the intention of the original teachings of either the Old Testament or the New Testament---neither from the Jews, the Christians, nor from any other religious traditions that arose from them.

I learned a vital lesson after being cheated by a lawyer who was supposed to work for me and protect my rights in a contract, which instead led to a very expensive legal battle to resolve.

Never take the advice of someone who will profit from your loss.

The lawyer drafted the contract knowing it could be disputed, while assuring me that it could not. As a result, I was charged enough in legal fees for her to buy a new BMW just to resolve the dispute with the other party.

The concept of sin---against God, religion, parents, family, or anyone else who benefits from your guilt and from you paying with money, time, or possessions to atone for it---was clearly created by those who profit greatly from your loss.

You never sin; what you do is make mistakes. My view is this: I accept my mistakes and make amends. I fix what I did wrong, repair the damage, and do so without guilt. Once the matter is repaired---or once I accept that I did my best but things did not work out as planned, because the world has too many moving parts, other people, and unforeseen, unpreventable factors---I live guilt-free.

I hope you will also attain this freedom from the imaginary chains they try to bind you with. Remember: it is all in your mind, and you can choose to reject or accept whatever is placed before you.
