Sin- Missing the mark, falling short of divine law. The divine law is the Low of God; law of being. Sin is departure from the law of our being. The command of God to man is be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth and Subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moveth upon the Earth. The creatures of land and sea represent states of mind and they all are contained in the consciousness of every man.
Any failure on our part to exercise this dominion is a falling short of a sin. The "Eternal" sin, or unpardonable sin, referred to by Jesus in Mark 3:28-29 is the belief that God is the creator of disease, or in harmony of any nature. So long as man abides in the conviction that God causes him to suffer, he closes his mind against the inflow of God's gifts of health, peace, and harmony. Man's sins are forgiven when he ceases to sin!
A sin not acted upon doesn't go unseen but it is the source of being disciplined that subdues such thoughts before they are acted on. Reason before we act. Actions are made Godly when the purpose for acting is conditioned by thoughts of love towards another being. Obedience to what we know to do of God's word removes us from the errors thoughts that exist outside of God's will, and that result as sin.
With help of the biblical dictionary and study and in love to us all.
