Re: Reflection 24

To sin or not to sin.

In languages derived from latin (we call them romance languages) the meaning is very different.

“Pecar” in spanish “pécher” in french and “peccare” in italian, all come from the latin “peccare”.

The meaning of the original latin verb is to fail or to err.

If god intended to make us in such a way that to be is to fail, then he did not err, but he certainly sinned.
