Un-Christlike Images of God …

We turn our attention this week to four types of un-Christlike images of God that are prevalent in the Western Church. Each of these could easily be supported by Scripture! But we take each model and compare it back to Jesus to see how they fall short of who God really is.

#078 – Christianese (Hamartia/Sin – Pt 2) – Pt 2 [Podcast]

Hamartia … this is the original Greek word for “sin.”  Last week we started discussing what this word really meant back in ancient times. We saw this didn’t mean “breaking rules” but simply a mistake by which a person would tragically miss their purpose.  This was used by Aristotle in many of his stories.

Of all words in Christianity, the word “sin” is crucial for us to understand.  A lot of the whacky theology in the Western church stems from a misunderstanding of this word “hamartia.”
