The Positive Penalty.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Chapter V<\/i><\/b><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>HAMARTIOLOGY<\/p>\n<p>Hamartiology is derived from the Greek word, <span class=\"SpellE\"><i>hamartia<\/i><\/span><i>, <\/i>meaning \u201csin.\u201d Thus, hamartiology is the doctrine of sin.<\/p>\n<p>I. THE ORIGIN OF SIN<\/p>\n<p><i>A. <span class=\"GramE\">The Entrance of Sin into the Universe.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>Turning to Ezekiel 28:11-19 we see that it was Lucifer who brought sin into the universe: \u201cThine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I<b> <\/b>will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee\u201d (v. 17). There was no sin before Lucifer sinned and became the Devil \u2014 Satan. His sin, the first in the universe, was when he chose his will over God\u2019s will, desiring to be equal with God. Why did God allow sin to enter into the universe? This is one question God has not answered as yet.<\/p>\n<p><i>B. The Introduction of Sin into the Human Race.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>As there is sin in the human race, there must have been a beginning of sin. If there is no beginning of sin, man was <i>created <\/i>in sin. Thus, God is the creator of sin; but He is not. Sin came into the human race through deception and disobedience, motivated by unbelief. \u201cAdam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression\u201d (I Tim. 2:14). Why did God allow man to sin? The only possible answer we can give is Ephesians 2:7: \u201cThat in the ages to come he might <span class=\"SpellE\">shew<\/span> the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>II. THE REALITY OF SIN<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b><\/b><i>A. Scripture Declares the Fact of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i><span class=\"GramE\">\u201cAll have sinned, and come short of the glory of God\u201d (Rom. 3:23).<\/span> \u201cThe Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe\u201d (Gal. 3:22).<\/p>\n<p><i>B. Nature Proclaims the Fact of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>\u201cWe know that the whole creation <span class=\"SpellE\">groaneth<\/span> and <span class=\"SpellE\">travaileth<\/span> in pain together unto now\u201d (Rom. 8:22).<\/p>\n<p><i>C. Law Discovers the Fact of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>\u201cBy<i> <\/i>the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin\u201d (Rom. 3:20). The Apostle Paul thought that he was free from sin until he looked into the mirror of God\u2019s law: \u201cNay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet\u201d (Rom. 7:7b).<\/p>\n<p><i>D. Experience Proves the Fact of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>The experiences of Moses, David, Peter and John reveal the facts of sin. Even your own experience substantiates it.<\/p>\n<p><i>E. Man Confesses the Fact of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>1. <i>Saints Have Owned Up to It. <\/i>It was Job who said, \u201cI am vile, and I abhor myself.\u201d Isaiah declared, \u201cWoe is me, for I am undone.\u201d Daniel, of whom no breath of sin is mentioned, said, \u201cMy comeliness was turned into corruption.\u201d Jeremiah confessed, \u201cI am black.\u201d Peter cried, \u201cDepart from me, I am a sinful man.\u201d Paul stated, \u201cChrist Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.\u201d Luther revealed, \u201cI am afraid more of my heart than the Pope and all the Cardinals.\u201d Moody said, \u201cThe man I have the most trouble with is the man who walks under my hat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>Sinners have <span class=\"GramE\">Owned<\/span> Up to It. <\/i>The Scriptures abound with the confession of the sinner and his sin: Pharaoh declared, \u201cI have sinned this time\u201d (Ex. 9:27b). <span class=\"SpellE\">Achan<\/span> answered, \u201cIndeed I have sinned\u201d (Josh. 7:20b). Balaam admitted, \u201cI have sinned,\u201d (Num. 22:34b). <span class=\"GramE\">Even Judas, who betrayed the Lord, said, \u201cI have sinned\u201d (Matt. 27:4).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>III. THE NATURE OF SIN<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b><\/b><i>A. <span class=\"GramE\">The Modern View of Sin.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>1. <i>Society Calls It Indiscretion.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>2. <i>Scholars Label It Ignorance.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>3. <i>Evolutionists Say it is the Trait of the Beast.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>4.<i> Christian Scientists Teach It Is the Absence From Good.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>5. <i>The Fleshly Man Excuses It As Amiable Weakness.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>6.<i> The New Theologians Declare It Is Merely Selfishness.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i>B. The Biblical View of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>1.<b> <\/b><i>Sin Is Missing the Mark. <\/i><span class=\"GramE\">\u201cAll have sinned, and<b> <\/b>come<b> <\/b>short of the glory of God<b>\u201d <\/b>(Rom. 3:23).<\/span>See also Romans 5:12. Sin means \u201cto miss the divine aim of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>Sin Is Transgression. <\/i>\u201cWhosoever <span class=\"SpellE\">committeth<\/span> sin <span class=\"SpellE\">transgresseth<\/span> also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law\u201d (I John 3:4). Transgression of the law may be deliberate or unintentional. Either is sin. There was <i>sin <\/i>before the law, but there was no transgression. See Numbers 4:15; Joshua 7:11, 15; Isaiah 24:5; Daniel 9:11; Hosea 6:7; 8:1.<\/p>\n<p>3.<b> <\/b><i>Sin Is Bending of That Which Is Right. <\/i>\u201cRighteous\u201d means straight. Sin is the bending of that which was once straight. \u201cDavid <span class=\"SpellE\">spake<\/span> unto the LORD<b> <\/b>when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? <span class=\"GramE\">let<\/span> thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father\u2019s house\u201d (II<b> <\/b>Sam. 24:17). See also Romans 1:18; 6:13; II Thessalonians 2:12; II Peter 2:15; I John 5:17.<\/p>\n<p>4. <i>Sin Is Rebellion Against God. <\/i>\u201cHear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD<b> <\/b>hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me\u201d (Is. 1:2). See also II Thessalonians 2:4, 8.<\/p>\n<p>5. <i>Sin Is a Debt. <\/i>\u201cForgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors\u201d (Matt. 6:12). See also Luke 11:4. The words \u201cduty\u201d (Luke 17:10), \u201cought\u201d (John 13:14) and \u201cbound\u201d (II <span class=\"SpellE\">Thess<\/span>. 2:13) are all from the same Greek word denoting debt.<\/p>\n<p>6. <i>Sin Is Disobedience. <\/i>Sin is a lack of response to God. \u201cIn time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience\u201d (Eph. 2:2). See also Ephesians 5:6; John 3:36, R. V.<\/p>\n<p>7. <i>Sin Is a Deviation <span class=\"GramE\">From<\/span> God\u2019s Requirement. <\/i>This means a fall; every offense against God is a fall. Sin is always a fall that hurts. \u201cIf ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you\u201d (Matt. 6:14). See<b> <\/b>also Galatians 6:1; Romans 5:15-20.<\/p>\n<p>8. <i>Sin Is Unbelief. <\/i>\u201cHe that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son\u201d (I John 5:10).<\/p>\n<p>9.<b> <\/b><i>Sin Is Impiety, or Ungodliness. <\/i><span class=\"GramE\">\u201cTo<b> <\/b>him that worketh not, but believeth on him that <span class=\"SpellE\">justifieth<\/span>the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness\u201d (Rom. 4:5).<\/span> \u201cWhen we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly\u201d (Rom. 5:6). See also I Timothy 1:9; I Peter 4:18; II Peter 2:5, 7; Jude 4, 15.<\/p>\n<p>10. <i>Sin Is Iniquity. <\/i>By this we mean a wrong doing to the moral order of the universe. \u201cNow the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,<span class=\"SpellE\">envyings<\/span>, murders, drunkenness, <span class=\"SpellE\">revellings<\/span>, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they that do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God\u201d (Gal. 5:19-21). See also Colossians 3:5-9; Mark 7:19, 20.<\/p>\n<p><i>C.<b> <\/b>The Scriptural Statement of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>\u201cAll unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death\u201d (I John 5:17). See also I John 3:4;Proverbs 14:21; 21:4; 24:9; Romans 3:23; 6:23; I Samuel 15:23; Jeremiah 3:25; 14:7; James 2:9; 4:17; Romans 14:23.<\/p>\n<p><i>D. The Theological Definitions of Sin.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>1. <i>Sin is the transgression of, or lack of conforming to the law of God.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>2. <i>Sin is deficiency of love to God and man.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>3. <i>Sin is preference of self to God.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>4. <i>Sin is insubordination.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>5. <i>Sin is lack of conformity with God or His moral law in act, disposition, or state.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>6. <i>Sin is that which ought not to be.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>E. The Summary of Scripture Concerning Sin.<\/p>\n<p><i><\/i>1. <span class=\"GramE\"><i>Toward<\/i><\/span><i> God.<br \/>\n<\/i>a. <i>Rebellion. <\/i>\u201cRebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry\u201d (I Sam. 15:23a).<br \/>\nb. <i>Failure to Love God Supremely. <\/i>\u201cThou shalt love the LORD<b> <\/b>thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might\u201d (Deut. 6:5).<\/p>\n<p>2. <span class=\"GramE\"><i>Toward<\/i><\/span><i> the Divine Law.<br \/>\n<\/i>a. <i>Willful Transgression. <\/i><span class=\"GramE\">\u201cThe soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same <span class=\"SpellE\">reproacheth<\/span> the LORD<b>; <\/b>and that soul shall be cut off from among his people\u201d (Num. 15:30).<\/span><br \/>\nb. <i>Violation <span class=\"GramE\">Through<\/span> Ignorance. <\/i>\u201cIf any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering\u201d (Num. 15:27). See also Hebrews 9:7.<\/p>\n<p>3. <span class=\"GramE\"><i>Toward<\/i><\/span><i> Man.<br \/>\n<\/i>a. <i>Injustice. <\/i>\u201cThou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither <span class=\"GramE\">rob<\/span>: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning\u201d (Lev. 19:13).<br \/>\nb.<b> <\/b><i>Failure to Love Him as One\u2019s Self. <\/i>\u201cThou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD\u201d (Lev. 19:18).<\/p>\n<p>4.<i> <span class=\"GramE\">Toward<\/span> Self.<br \/>\n<\/i>a.<b> <\/b><i>Selfishness. <\/i>\u201cWhat<i> <\/i>is a man profited, if he shall gain<b> <\/b>the whole world, and lose his own soul? <span class=\"GramE\">or<\/span>what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?\u201d (Matt. 16:26).<br \/>\nb.<b> <\/b><i>Corruption. <\/i>\u201cBehold, I was <span class=\"SpellE\">shapen<\/span> in iniquity; and in<b> <\/b>sin did my mother conceive me\u201d (Ps. 51:5).<\/p>\n<p>IV. THE EXTENT OF SIN<\/p>\n<p><i>A. <span class=\"GramE\">As to the Heavens.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>The Scriptures reveal the fact that both sin and salvation began in heaven and came to earth. Sin began in heaven with the fall of Satan (Ezek. 28). Salvation is completed in heaven<b> <\/b>with the<span class=\"SpellE\">mediatorial<\/span> work of Christ (Heb. 9:24).<\/p>\n<p><i>B. As to the Earth.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>1.<i> The Vegetable Kingdom. <\/i>\u201cUnto Adam he said, because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying. Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field\u201d (Gen. 3:17, 18). Isaiah 55:13 reveals the blessed fact that the curse shall be taken off of the vegetable kingdom when Christ comes: \u201cInstead of the thorn, shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle tree: and it<b> <\/b>shall be to the LORD<b> <\/b>for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>The Animal Kingdom. <\/i>Before the fall of man there were no man-eating animals. Isaiah 11:6-9<b><\/b>tells us that this curse also shall be removed at Christ\u2019s second coming: \u201cThe wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice\u2019 den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in <span class=\"GramE\">all my<\/span> holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as<b> <\/b>the waters cover the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3. <i>The Race of Mankind.<br \/>\n<\/i>a.<b> <\/b><i>The Universality of Sin. <\/i>All men are sinners: \u201cAll have sinned and come short of the glory of God\u201d (Rom. 3:23).<br \/>\nb. <i>The Totality of Sin. <\/i>All of man is sinful \u2014 his body, soul and spirit. \u201cThey are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. . . .<span class=\"GramE\">there<\/span> is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things <span class=\"SpellE\">soever<\/span> the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and <span class=\"GramE\">all the<\/span> world may become guilty before God\u201d (Rom. 3:12, 18, 19.)<\/p>\n<p>V. THE REALM OF<b> <\/b>SIN<\/p>\n<p><i>A. <span class=\"GramE\">As An Act.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>Man commits sins by his conduct<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b><\/b><i>B. A State.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>Man is void of righteousness.<\/p>\n<p><i>C. As a Nature.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>Man is conceived in sin, born in sin, and is, therefore, a sinner by nature.<\/p>\n<p>VI. THE PENALTY OF SIN<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b><\/b><i>A. <span class=\"GramE\">The Natural Penalty.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>This can best be illustrated by the example of a child who was forbidden to eat of a certain food. He disobeyed and ate too much, with the result that he became sick. The <i>natural consequence <\/i>of his disobedience was his illness. The<i> natural penalty of sin <\/i>is disease, disappointment and physical death.<\/p>\n<p><i>B. The Positive Penalty.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><\/i>To continue with the above example, we find that the <i>natural <\/i>penalty was the child\u2019s becoming sick. The positive penalty is the spanking he received from his father. The positive penalty of sin is described by the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. <i>Death. <\/i>\u201cThe wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord\u201d (Rom. 6:23). Death, in Scripture, never means \u201cannihilation\u201d or \u201ccomplete destruction.\u201d There is no place in the Word where the word \u201cannihilation\u201d can be substituted for \u201cdeath.\u201d<br \/>\na. <i>Spiritual Death. <\/i>\u201cShe that <span class=\"SpellE\">liveth<\/span> in pleasure is dead while she <span class=\"SpellE\">liveth<\/span>\u201d (I Tim. 5:6).<br \/>\nb. <i>Eternal Death. <\/i>\u201cDeath and hell were cast into the lake of fire. <span class=\"GramE\">This is the second death\u201d (Rev. 20:14).<\/span> \u201cThe Lord Jesus shall be revealed . . . in the flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power\u201d (II <span class=\"SpellE\">Thess<\/span>. 1:7, 8, 9). See also Revelation 20:12; 21:8. There was no death before sin came into man\u2019s life. Man was created to dwell with God forever. Death is said to have \u201cpassed upon all men\u201d (Rom. 5:12). The word \u201cpassed\u201d is translated \u201cpierced through\u201d in Luke 2:35; \u201cgo through\u201d in Matthew 19:24; and \u201cpassed through\u201d in <span class=\"GramE\">I<\/span> Corinthians 10:1.<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>Lost. <\/i>\u201cWhile I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou <span class=\"SpellE\">gavest<\/span> me I have <span class=\"GramE\">kept,<\/span> and none of them is <i>lost, <\/i>but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled\u201d (John 17:12). The<b> <\/b>word \u201clost\u201d is the same as the words \u201cperish\u201d (John 3:16) and \u201cdestroy\u201d (Matt. 10:28).<\/p>\n<p>3. <i>Condemned. <\/i>\u201cHe that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already; because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God\u201d (John 3:18). The word \u201ccondemnation\u201d is a legal term, and indicates judicial decision. This same word, \u201ccondemnation,\u201d is \u201cdamnation\u201d in John 5:<span class=\"GramE\">29,<\/span> and \u201cjudgment\u201d in Matthew 11:22, 24; II Peter 2:4, 9; 3:7; I John 4:17; Jude 6.<\/p>\n<p>4. <i>Guilt. <\/i>\u201cNow we know that what things <span class=\"SpellE\">soever<\/span> the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and <span class=\"GramE\">all the<\/span> world may become guilty before God\u201d (Rom. 3:19).<\/p>\n<p>5. <i>Perdition. <\/i>\u201cLet your conversation be as it <span class=\"SpellE\">becometh<\/span> the gospel of Christ: that . . . I<b> <\/b>may hear . . . that ye stand fast in one <span class=\"GramE\">spirit.<\/span> . . in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of <i>perdition, <\/i>but to you of salvation, and that of God\u201d (Phil. 1:27, 28). See also John 17:12; II Thessalonians 2:3; Hebrews 10:39; II Peter 3:7; Revelation 17:8, 11. This same word \u201cperdition\u201d is translated \u201cdestruction\u201d in Matthew 7:13: \u201cEnter <span class=\"GramE\">ye<\/span> in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that <span class=\"SpellE\">leadeth<\/span> to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.\u201d See also Romans 9:22; Philippians 3:19; II Peter 3:16. (In the New Testament the word \u201cdestruction\u201d means \u201cruin\u201d.) In Matthew 26:8 it is translated \u201cwaste\u201d: \u201cWhen his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, <span class=\"GramE\">To<\/span> what purpose is this <i>waste?\u201d <\/i>The word \u201cperish\u201d in Matthew 9:17 is the same word as \u201cperdition\u201d: \u201cNeither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine <span class=\"SpellE\">runneth<\/span> out, and the bottles <i>perish: <\/i>but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>6. <i>Punishment. <\/i>\u201cThese shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal\u201d (Matt. 25:46). There is a difference between the above Scripture and Hebrews 12:6: \u201cWhom the Lord <span class=\"SpellE\">loveth<\/span> he chasteneth, and <span class=\"SpellE\">scourgeth<\/span> every son whom he <span class=\"SpellE\">receiveth<\/span>.\u201d Punishment is for the sinner; chastisement for the saint.<\/p>\n<p>7. <i>Eternal <\/i>\u2014 <i>Everlasting. <\/i>\u201cThese shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal\u201d (Matt. 25:46). See also Jude 6; II Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10; 14:11.<\/p>\n<p>Some say that the words \u201ceverlasting\u201d and \u201ceternal\u201d mean \u201ca long life, an age, age lasting.\u201d In other words, they say that guilty sinners will endure the fires of hell only for an age; after being purified, they shall enjoy eternal bliss with the rest of the saints of God. But this we add, \u201cIf hell and punishment are not forever, then there is no such thing as eternal life, nor eternal salvation.\u201d The same word \u201ceternal,\u201d or \u201ceverlasting,\u201d is used of God, \u201cHow much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the <i>eternal <\/i>Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?\u201d (Heb. 9:14). \u201cThe revelation of the mystery\u2026 now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the<i>everlasting <\/i>God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith\u201d (Rom. 16:26). If the punishment in hell for the damned is not eternal, then salvation is not eternal, and <i>God is not eternal! But He is! <\/i>So is salvation eternal; so is punishment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":4982,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6746","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.8 (Yoast SEO v24.8.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bible Doctrines - Hamartiology - Bible Broadcasting Network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bible Doctrines - Hamartiology\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Bible Broadcasting Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BBNRadio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-03-10T16:02:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@BBNRadio\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"15 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/\",\"name\":\"Bible Doctrines - Hamartiology - Bible Broadcasting Network\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-03-10T14:44:21+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-03-10T16:02:42+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/bible-doctrines-hamartiology\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/home\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Tools Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Bible Doctrines\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/bbn1.bbnradio.org\/english\/tools-home\/bible-doctrines\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"name\":\"Bible Doctrines &#8211;
