In my Bible studies I kept coming across the words "SIN--INIQUITY--TRANSGRESSION----" Now I understand sin --is sin-- is sin.....but it haunted me if sin is sin, why did the writer in the Scripture use 3 different words for sin.....this came to me while doing the Psalms, David used these 3 words a lot, which led me to a ton of research. Now 1st let me point out that I am no Bible scholar, I am not highly educated, but if these handicaps make me research & learn then I consider it a blessing not a handicap. Anyway, please feel free to agree, disagree, add to or whatever, but here we go.-----

In Psalm 51 David writes, and this was his plea for mercy after his roll in the hay with Bathsheba, David ask for forgiveness of his "SINS" his
"INIQUITIES" and his "TRANSGRESSIONS".......this really messed my mind up, so I went looking for answers....remember, Scripture teaches us that the Holy Spirit will teach us......So I learned...

SIN---The Hebrew word for sin is "Chattam"---which translated sin & means to "miss the mark"

"INIQUITY" -- The Hebrew word is "AWON" which is translated "INIQUITY", which means --relates to the inner character and points to intentional twisting of a given standard

"TRANSGRESSION"-- The Hebrew word is "PESHA"-- often translated transgression---more of a willful rebellion against the given standard. Then later I learned that God spoke to Moses concerning the forgiveness of SIN--INIQUITIES--& SIN ---Exodus 34:5-8

Now here I am just voicing an opinion----I think so many church goers (and I am a church goer, or was before the side effects of my cancer treatments) anyway we have a a way of twisting the Scriptures to fit our wants & desires----Iniquities

Many in the good ole USA are guilty of "transgression"----basically, screw the world, I am going to do it my way,--I want, I want, I need, I need, Give me, give me

Sin--is just going against God's given standard

All is sin, but, the understanding has helped me to live a better daily life, and may I add, satan does not like loosing a good servant and he will constantly tempt one who is trying their best to live right......I constantly FAIL, but then that is why God sent His Spirit into the world-----to help and assist those thick headed folks like me & maybe you
SO---hope I helped to crank up your ole brain this morning

I have a card on my desk which I read almost every day, it says this
"Lord, help me to remember that nothing
is going to happen to me today that You
and I can't handle together"

Such a great thought to start off a day in this world.......God Bless and have a beautiful day
