Hamartia (Missing the Mark / Off-target Path)

EN — Transliteration: hamartía

Designates straying, error of direction, or missing the goal (the target). Moral and penal theology translated it as 'sin' to make it a legal offense deserving eternal condemnation.

📖 Réf. : Mt 3:6 | Mt 12:31 | Lk 24:47 | Jn 1:29 | Rom 5:12 | Eph 2:1

Hamartia (ἁμαρτία) is not a criminal offense committed against a divine court. It is having a poor aim, missing the target of life in abundance, and straying from the path.
