The ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ or should I put it the ‘7, Deadly, Sins’. The seven part is merely score keeping and nothing more, but the ‘Deadly’, which we usually skip over is more than just an adjective, it is a warning. What is it warning against? What do the Seven Deadly Sins lead to other than Hell itself.
‘Sin‘ is also a much miss understood word, particularly by those who grew up in a Christian based society.
In the biblical Hebrew, the generic word for sin is het. It means to err, to miss the mark. It does not mean to do evil.
