Sin Involves More Than You Might Think (We'll Explain) 

First mistake here is that the Bible does not say that every human is made in God's image...it speaks only of Adam, or maybe Eve too....b/c by Genesis 5, humans were now made in their own image. ....second of all, there were the sins of bodily corruption such as leprosy -- which was not a sin against other humans at all....3rd mistake is suggesting that Pharoah did not realize his sins against the Hebrew people -- but he sure understood his edict to decimate their newborn boys...etc, etc, etc, etc....

I think by far the best possible explanation . Explained the complex word in such simple way. When Jesus said Love God and your neighbor I think this is what he ment. I don't get it that time . The explanation gives new insights to all verses now. God bless you Guys

Hi Bible project, thanks for the great job you guys are doing! I pray God gives you guys the Grace to do more. In my local assembly, I work with the media team. I would like to create videos like this to promote biblical doctrinal content. I was wondering if you guys are offering training programs to teach people how to create these videos?

Awesome! Just want to correct some verse about Joseph sinning against God. It’s in Genesis 39:9 not in Genesis 37:9.😊 God bless your Bibleproject! 2:02

Thank you. This video is amazing and a blessing.

this definitely something to meditate on.

Yes, so when we text and drive, endangering others, we have failed, and have sinned. We are not respecting human life and we humans are to respect life and we fall.short.

​@@eeviraythat's a ridiculously inaccurate thing to describe as a sin.

So it's ok to text and drive and keep doing it? If you hit somebody and harm.somebody because of it, is it not then a.sin? Now if nothing happens, it looks like an innocent compulsion but is reckless. My point is that something innocent because you have not hurt anybody. is a sign of recklessness at least. Is recklessness a characteristic that something that a human being made in the image of God should embrace? Is not recklessness just as bad as being pompous or something like that?

@@eeviray lol, I never said hitting people is ok. By your standards eating a cheeseburger while driving is a sin too. Maybe find Christ instead of making sins up.

So when Jesus replied with "Why do you call me good? only God is good" justifies his perfection!?

No. Jesus is the true meaning of Sun God worship.. Idolatry at its finest 😴 YHWH IS ALONE

Amen!

@A Deit no he loves us so he wouldn’t kill us unless we are going to hell

@@Mrmusha53 the name yhwh is pagan god name connected to star god which is connected to symbol of Israel flag. God actual name is (I,am) also Jesus isn't sun god. you should do research before acting all knowing.

So deep like what

sin means missing the mark. Grace means unmerited favor.

Say this prayer Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord qqq

I believe sin is because of pride usually. Pharaoh thinks of himself as more important than justice or kindness matters, so he turns a blind eye to their sufferings. Sin is more like when people are too arrogant to acknowledge their terribleness in flesh, and choose to think the good stuff are from them and not from God Yahweh, so they transgress God's law..

U

YOO im glad youre learning more about the bible, thats how i became a christian. Theres so much evidence that the bible is real. You should listen to Dan Mohler hes really helpful 💯💯

God bless brother. There are some deep spiritual truths to be found in the Bible. When I first read it I was astonished how much of what it talks about I had experienced in my own spiritual and emotional life. Dig deep and you may find yourself cultivating a relationship with that which is inside of you. A knowing with your body not only your mind. I encourage you, even if not a self professed Christian, or even if you don’t believe in God, to start a regular prayer and meditation practice. It will be the cracking open of the door on which God knocks.

God has always been there with you brother. He wishes for you to be with him now. Ask questions, reflect, and love. To know real love is to know god.

Very interesting! I hope you find answers to your questions and keep on asking them and God will give u the wisdom’s and answers! God bless and keep safe

May God open your eyes to see many more wonderful things. May you become a source of light to many in darkness

Keierra ReeNell but they never said what sin was.. Do you know exactly what sin is?

Yeah that sentences tho! Really touched me

JUDAH RISE simple they said sin is missing a set goal or mark but in the biblical sense it’s simply missing God’s set mark or goal and that is to be a living sacrifice unto the Lord

Vlogs by DeeJay No brother it's breaking God's *laws* 1John3:4 so to not sin we have to be keeping God's laws

JUDAH RISE is not to be a living sacrifice is to be loving to God and thy neighbor? For love covers a multitude of sins, sin which is against God's law. Thus you will not break his law because of love.

It totally should.

Brent Mcfield So let’s work on getting it to trend

Right... I think we should all learn about the mythological bible by reading it ourselves instead of listening to someone explain what it says by virtue ( or lack thereof ) of their own subjective interpretation of the primitive desert desert dwelling mythologies of the past that contradict each other are full of outright lies and are completely historically inaccurate.

This will never be on trending. Real God is not trending.

But its not.........

Malcolm Smith defines 'sin' as 'living independently of God' , as if we are our own god . Not recognizing we are created beings and we get our life from Another . Going our own way regardless . 🆓🇬🇧✝️

Here's a good way to explain 'sin' with one word... imperfection. Problem is this, for centuries people have been taught that sin is something people do and they think no further on the subject. Think about this though... what is the very nature of the material universe? Do things constantly change? Of course... trees grow and die, oceans absorb coastlines, some animals eat other animals, clouds form then disappear, etc. etc. everything changes on a daily basis. Imperfection = change. Consider this ... IF there is a creator and that being created US, material beings in a material universe, then the universe was created with inherent imperfection[s]. In other words everything, even us was created with sin/imperfection. It is our very nature to be imperfect and we could be nothing else. An elephant can't be a cat because 'elephant' is that animals very nature. The most disturbing part though is this... assuming god created us as imperfect beings and due to our imperfection Adam and Eve, being imperfect, were bound sooner or later to disobey god. They couldn't help it due to their imperfection. And then... god punishes them [and all humankind] for all eternity for being something god created. I can't speak for you but that seems like a dirty trick, or being 'set up' [as in law]. That doesn't sound like a benevolent deity to me. It would be cruel for a creator to make something imperfect and than punish its creation for being imperfect.

@@SOMAnxg I hear where you are coming from, but I want to clarify and see if we are on the same page about the creation account as seen in Genesis? I’m a newer believer so forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but if I understand correctly, God created everything good. No sin or death was present in the garden of Eden. It was a perfect paradise. No sin was found in Adam and Eve. They did have free will tho, and with this free will, they chose to disobey God (after the influence of the serpent). With this understanding, it seems to me that God set everything up fairly. It would be unfair to not have a choice about obeying God.

@@Isaac-we2ks You assume too much. What you assume is what you want. But what people want isn't necessarily 'true'. For example you're assuming the Garden of Eden was an actual place. You should be aware all of that is fable and not fact. One example it's not 'true' is ... let's start with the notion of an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent supernatural god. Next... it is claimed that god created the 'heavens and the earth". If one were to assume that were true, then why wouldn't god know that using 'matter' as a means of creation automatically and naturally makes those things created imperfect? Before even a thought entered their heads. It is the very nature of matter to be imperfect. "Perfection" from philosophical and theological worldview implies that something is so perfect, to change it in anyway would make a perfect thing imperfect. Ok... what's the very nature of 'nature"? The world surrounding all of us changes second by second, minute by minute, day by day, etc. What does that imply? It implies that matter by its very nature is imperfect. Matter can't exist in any other way because it is governed by the physical laws. Thus, assuming Adam and Eve were created as physical beings, they were imperfect from the very instant of their creation. An all knowing god should've known that. And if god should've known that why would a creator expect them to act perfectly? It's against their very nature. Then punish them for being imperfect? What kind of reasonable parent would do that to a child of theirs?

@@SOMAnxg I know it's been three months, but I'm going to answer you anyway: I think you assume too much (to borrow your turn of phrase). You assume that God created matter imperfectly, but there were no imperfections before sin. The very nature of the world changed after sin entered it. For example, before sin there was no death, no thorns, no physical pain, and no rain (instead there was a layer of dew over the earth). God knew that Adam and Eve were going to sin, but He gave them the option to eat from the tree because He knew that they had the ability to resist temptation even if they chose not to (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Ashley Jones SMH but what is sin exactly... Because they never answered it

ISRAEL RISE exactly nobody goes to 1 John 3 verse 4 sin is the transgression of the law period

g513 Praying for you 😢

@g513 Hell has no exit. Repent, trust in Jesus, and you'll be saved. Jesus loves you.

@@galaxia1190 true

Same

it steel happens to this very day.

Same.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish have eternal life.

@@A.D.540om

God bless you and your family.

Read Romans 6, 7 and 8 and ask God for true understanding! This way of living you describe is, though very common, FAR from what is 'normal' for Gods people. The Lord came to deliver us from sin, not just the consequences. All the best!

Uh, you mean like,the video,said??

So is "shortcomings" a more fitting translation?

I would put forth this; Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek words don’t translate easily, have a multitude of possible translations and that was intentional. This provokes discussion and deeper study which if done with an open mind gives a greater understanding.

@@jeffalexander195 intentional by who? If you mean something like the council of Nicea where the Bible was edited by the Romans to better control the people then yes. The development of differing languages is a natural consequence of separated societies.

Just like in the movie

"but I haven't doen anything wrong so why do I feel like this?" This is how I got saved :)

sadly I have and only later realized I was wrong, thank Jesus for His amazing grace and mercy.

Too many

Ughnotuagain Ughnotuagain 👏🏼👏🏼

If we still sin after salvation, then what would that entail for us? Are we truly even saved? We will always fall short. The leasr we can do is to put our trust in Jesus and strive daily to be like him. We always fall short on one aspect tbh...

The Bible Project I don't really understand what you guys are trying to portray with the example of Joseph. It seems out of place to me. Could you guys explain this further?

ManPlan I think they meant that Joseph felt that if he slept with her, he would be dishonoring both her and her husband. The image of him taking her hand shows the sin. But I kinda get what u mean.

Hi ManPlan, could you rephrase your question? We are trying to portray the decision Joseph had to make when Potiphar's wife asked him to sleep with her! He had the choice but to listen to God, or listen to Potiphar's wife desired to sleep with him. One would be turning toward sin, the other towards God!

The Bible Project Random question but I was curious if/when you guys were going to record more “story” podcast episodes (like “friend of sinners” and “god and money”)? I’m a huge fan of all your content and have been a monthly supporter for a while, but recently stumbled upon these “story” podcast episodes you recorded a while back and thought they were fantastic!! I’m mad at myself for not finding them earlier... I heard John mention “let us know if you like this new ‘story’ format” in one of them, then noticed you stopped doing them..so I just wanted to provide my somewhat late feedback and say I love them and hope you do more! Thanks for all that you do! Jim Ps-My comments aren’t posting on apples podcast app for some reason, so apologies for randomly bringing it up in comments to this video (which I also thought was great!)

ManPlan. The illustration of Joseph giving in to Potiphars wife is just inside his head when he is analyzing that it is sinful to give in to Potiphars wife.

Christianese xD

These videos helped me understand this religon more. I had a very surface level understanding of it. But now...i feel like Its way more clear and It fills me with joy to understand them.

For beginners, yes, we need to explain in ways they can understand. When they start studying for themselves, then we can help them understand better, if we have a connection with the Holy Spirit.

Words have meaning and people choosing not to understand their meaning shows their unwillingness to learn. The fact that these words have been around for thousands of years yet are still misunderstood shows how long people willingly choose to keep themselves ignorant of what is truly meaningful

Bless you

God bless you! 🫡

me too

God bless you bro 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Ok

To add on to that, it is not the sin itself that separates us from God. We can't be separated from God, whether we like it or not; He is omnipresent. However, we RUN AWAY from Him because when we sin, we feel guilt and shame from not being able to live up to God's moral perfection. Take, for example, Adam and Eve: what was the first thing they did after they realized their sin? They hid. Was God any farther from them than before? No. In fact, God was the first to reach out to them and ask, "where did you go?" He certainly was aware of their sin, and He certainly knew where they were hiding (He's an omniscient God), so what's His deal here? He pursued them because they ran away in fear of guilt and judgement. As long as the Law is in effect, humanity would be condemned to a religious mindset and continue to distance itself from God. The Good News is that Jesus came so that we could enjoy a full union with God--so that we can run toward Him in full assurance of His love and acceptance instead of running away in fear and shame. The Good News is that God is for us and not against us. The Good News is that God is good and He actually loves us. What kind of parent wants his children to get hurt? When we sin, it's less about "hurting" God, as if God can't handle our sin or as if it will upset Him. The reason God hates sin is because sin destroys His children--it harms them. A loving Father would never want His children to suffer. God created the world, and He knows what is best for us. When He says "don't sin", it's for our benefit, as a good Father only wants the best for His children. Remember: God created Adam and Eve to simply enjoy life with Him in Eden; that has been His desire since the beginning. Sin destroyed that, but Jesus, in turn, destroyed sin and death so that we can once again be fully reconciled to God and enjoy fellowship with Him now and forever in the new Eden.

Great comment! In fact, in Eastern Christianity, running away from omnipresent God is precisely what hell is - you being in the presence of All Loving God Whom you hate.

Sin doesn't separate people from God. It causes God to come closer.

Andrew Kibler So we should sin more? :-)

+Bible Illustrated No, because sinning is utter hell to deal with. Sin, at its very core, is human effort. (I know the video doesn't quite say that, but they didn't go deep enough). To miss the mark is this: to get life by your works instead of believing on God.

Collin Fejarang Yup I second that - VERY NICELY DONE CREATIVELY! 👏

MagCavuquila some of the Jewish sages during the time of Jesus taught on this. In fact, the core of Jesus' message is that you love God by loving people, even the foreigner. Very important for understanding the teachings of Jesus

MagCavuquila Amen🙏🏼

MagCavuquila they never even explained what sin was though. If so can you tell me exactly what sin is, maybe i missed it?

Unless you meditate, you are not obeying the gospel preached by Jesus and are far from him. Beware the leaven of these Pharisees. The religious dress the part and know nothing of the truth. With their lips they honor him but their hearts are FAR from him. “Why do you call me Lord Lord and do not the things that I say?” “Seek ye first the kingdom of God...” “The kingdom of God is within you...”. “Make the eye single and your whole body will fill with light”. How many of you can honestly say you have seen God “face-to-face”? As Jacob did in Genesis 32:30? How does it happen? In what place? It happens when one meditates and it takes place at the PINEAL gland of the brain! Arlen to your true nature.

@@dee144k failing to love God and others

deez guy he love God more than you !!

Love ya!

Haunt Former can I ask you a question if you mind ? There it is: Why do you have a skull as profile picture (it's not a trap ^^, I just would like to know if it has a meaning for you) ?

Hey Jonathan! My RU-vid channel revolves around my annual haunted house and halloween. Skeletons can represent the basis of the life we are given, and God's complex nature, too. I don't support satanic things or anything like that. all in good fun as I say. have an awesome day Jonathan! thanks for asking! Oh, I also have a Christian based channel called the Glog should you wanna check it out

Jonathan Bonicel I was also thinking so skull is a not a symbol of peace and love

Amen!

Such a wonder way to interpret the verse

Lol what exactly is a “religious word” anyway though just the fact that such a thing was said shows how sad modern society is.

The forgiveness is for the repentance of sin. When you stop it then you're forgiven.

​@@ChristinaFromRU-vidfrom your logic, if you sinned and stop doing it you are forgiven? like how i stole something, got caught, went to jail and stopped stealing because i do not want to go to jail again.. thats repentance?

@@urekmazino5125 yes! If you don't steal you are not a thief. Its preferable to stop because you know its wrong but hey a win is a win.

@@ChristinaFromRU-vid what if laws where changed and stealing is not a crime anymore? my point is, not doing something out of fear of punishment isnt repentance.

Yan Chu dont forget to read you Bible as well :)

Jurietto Mitshi Kunai sure will....😇

You do realize that all of this is based on man made mythology that is historically inaccurate and contains the outdated vile subjective morals of racist misogynistic primitives right?

These are thumbnail sketches that give a vague interpretation of scripture. As such they have many errors. The original Aramaic Hebrew scriptures to English paint a different and much clearer picture. Much more so than even the KJV for example. It all depends on if your interested in the truth.

@@Amelia-gh4ny obviously you are uneducated on the subject. how can you claim what is true and false about something you clearly know very little about?

You are so so right. Thank you.

But why won't they talk about the snake (Satan)?

@@Affixton96 you’ve probably seen it already but they’ve made a video about satan

Your definition is more inclusive and precise to me, thanks.

Such a beautiful video

oh true

Yep but it's also blinded by mindset of pride(can't see why I'm wrong like that), turning a blind eye, Pharaoh didn't care about israel's sufferings because he cared about himself or things he liked more than israel's well being. Also by ignorance as well.

And give him the GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE

PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE LORD, Let the earth hear his voice!

Devon Peebles hey Devon, I also learned that growing up, but at some point I realised (and if I'm not mistaken Tim even mentioned it in one podcast) no where in the Bible do we see that God was pleased with Jesus' suffering. When I look to that way of thinking (that again, was my own) I sent a perverse God. Is that too say that God doesn't care about soon? No. (Again, if my memory doesn't fall me) Tim mentions in this past episode that the punishment for sim doesn't come from God's sadism, but rather is a consequence of the act and of God's Holiness not leaving room for evil near Him. Does it make sense?

The Praying Christian yeah God gave us humans a way to come into his kingdom without sin dragging behind us

One thing the they joseph failed to sleep the wife of another therefore failed to honor God by denying her of something, but that is so morally incorrect idk what to say about he says he sins against God by committing adultery as far as i know, not by denying her of sex so they or somebody needs to clear that up.

@@raphaelalbert8110 yea and alot of kurds migrated to Israel when it was established as a country.

Same in Hindi/Urdu, except the meaning is closer to "sin" than "fault".

In arabic its close too!

Except if you have accepted Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for all your Khata! 😁

God has already judged. He didn't judge us, he judged the "prince of this world", which is satan. He already judged us. His verdict is that, sin is the culprit and not us.

You are wrong.

Exactly. The standard set by man is faulty. So many people consider themselves "good." When we define good/evil by human standards, the line will always be murky. The standard will forever change. Only God's standard is consistent.

chigasaki06 I completely agree , and I think its very important that you mention God judgement and what is right and wrong in God sight, and how people try to deem themselves worthy and by doing so they make themselves their own God because they're undermining the law of God therefore making him less than God . Ive always been very cautious of people who dont keep God word and dont acknowledge God as their lords and they tend to think they're good people but in the end everybody has fallen short of the glory of God. I know that Jesus died for my sin and that i am forgiven through grace and because of that i am free from death and bondage but I also do believe that I will be held accountable for the things that I have done , the bible mention the judgement in Revelations 20:12-13.. I also think that we as Christians are to be held more accountable for our actions because we know better , we cannot live as the world lives because we are not of the world and I refuse to believe anything more of the bible and anything less because truth. I appreciate your comments about the Almighty God and God bless because it was very much appreciated

CCD, the Catholic Church Doctrine

Same here.

You can give God a chance. Being a christian is one of the best things that has happened to me. I rest in the peace and joy of God now just because of my little faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus. It's the perfect place to be. I'm encouraging you to try it☺️.
