What is sin (Hebrew: “Qat”)

Forms, shapes, movements, measurements It was understood by the ancient Israelite that the idiom, “nasa chatta’th”, was a feminine force by which the “shape” or “form of” guilt, shame, and/ or sin was carried away (vide TDOT, Botterwick & Ringgren; Jeff Benner, Ancient Hebrew Lexicon, pg. 121)

QAT was also referred to from the ancient Hebrew language as a two-fold idea:
(1) measuring cord to show the distance of the Archer’s missing the target and
(2) what it takes to make the bullseye.

The Hebrew language (especially that of the Tanakh [Old Testament in Hebrew]) offers us reconciliation in one word: Chatta’th. Chatta’th (the female help-meet for qat [masculine-”sin from its origin to its fruition/ teleos”]) was “the *carrying away* of the sphere or all encompassing form of guilt from the sinner and intercedes by taking away the consequence of death (Ex. 10:17; I Sam. 15:25).

In the passages above we do not read of direct blame upon the individual.
Rather, both by scapegoat and the grand Intention for intervention and “taking away” guilt does one understand Qat.

If this is the case, then where is “judgment” upon our human actions (namely
sin)? If the causal agent to sin (qat) is outside the sphere of our first act of sinning (due to grand Intent) how can we be blamed? For sure, “we” share in this qat or sin— for we indeed sin in this time, space, orientation.

An answer that will arise out of true sin

If that which drives the motions of sin precedes both our sin and salvation (as an
outside entity acting upon us “unto” reconciliation) then what becomes of the narrative of our repentance, choice, love, etc.? For we have all created a “narrative” as to how we participate in this life in time in space. However, it is carnal and therefore myopic or “short-sighted”.

If it is true that we were known by God and loved by him before the foundation of the world (Romans 8:28-31) then we were complete in him and without sin in his holy bosom (otherwise, we could not exist in his holy presence). We were outside chronos-time and measured-space which presently constrains us to its rules. All such a condition defines our state of being as the opposite of being “free-from”
any action in time and space, hence, we are “bound to” the limitations of the transient world. Hence, sin and transience is “free from” the holy and “has its freedom” within the sphere of qat, i.e., a “leading to” God but bound to a “movement unto death” without human concession.

An answer that will arise out of true love

We share in the eternal form of salvation. We would have/ do/ and will (in eternal language) share in the immovable form of eternal love with God as well as the shackles of Chronos and his wife, *Anxiety-Desire (Ananke)*.

Inside the “love of eternity”— all is set within its immovable form which is beyond the scope for our language if we attempt to “hold form” for the English idea of “choice”. There is an eternal “choice ” to love which is the only choice making “choice” holy. For what other “choice” would you “choose1” in eternity with God
but to Love? How then is holy love “chosen” here on earth? If we act upon the reflection of eternity, there can be only one answer: we do not have the fleshly choice to choose anything, but that which has already been chosen for us by God. Thank God! Such an eternal-intransient love form can only exist because
it truly is eternally holy.

1 To “act” eternally is to already be bound to eternal limitations that God has placed for our “freedom to be
holy and eternally sustainable”. That is, there can be no sin in eternity by which the flesh could act
“freely”. Only identity as reflexive in the infinite bounds of love can we enjoy limitless love, limitless
“choice” in that which is sustainable and outside the transient.

For that which is of this world is transient and not sustainable in eternity. True love cannot exist as transient. It must be called something else other than true
love. For all of the lies that we have told ourselves and others, for all of the covetousness, for all of the lust, for all of the anger, for all of the rage, for all of the greed, for all of the pride of life, and the desire to have power, – all such things will cease under the glory of God’s eternal kingdom that will not have
anything transient in his presence.

When we are face-to-face with God, we will not want what we have prized so greatly. Moreover, we will be most thankful to have known that our sin and our forgiveness was put upon us by God into this lifetime in order to filter out our transient nature.

Concluding idea:

“Outside of” the qat we would only have love from the perspective of the eternal. For it is qat that signifies not just a one time sin, but all of our sin. If this is the case then qat is consistently working to blanket us onto recognition that we are
out of control. That is, “we don’t know what hit us when we sin. The mechanism of sin is explained in the scripture as it comes from us that is, our nature. And when it brings forth its fruit it brings death. Therefore, our nature must die. Our new nature must be identified solely in the nature of Christ. But this cannot be
chosen. This new nature must be brought upon us just as Qat is/ was/ will (until sin is no more).

To love in this life means to do something that is “eternally sustainable”. That thing is something that we cannot do in and of our natures. Therefore, we are as
a bride that is joined eternally to her husband (God) while tethered to that which is inside the boundaries of time’s death (en horos).

We act upon the kingdom of eternal holiness as God’s bride while we walk in the kingdom of the prince of the power of the air – i.e., kosmokrator (earthly/ temporary ruler of the ordered arrangement unto destruction).

The love that we display here on earth is the signal of our salvation already established from eternity. We love and “do good” only because we are tethered to the intransient sustainable God. All “outside actions” are of God and are his
fated, destined, ordained movements unto destruction which are only the tools
used to shape us in this life unto perfection for his glorious witness. We are “the
coming to be” in him seen by the world. It is wholly unnatural and thank God for
that.
