Don't misunderstand what western christians have done to a word that is "offensive" and misdirected when in reality is not the modern day dictionary term. i am using the term in the sense written below. Words directly from the Bible unaltered or sprinkled with modern man’s viewpoint. Consider these things yourself. Especially if you are searching for your purpose, or feeling like you just don’t fit anywhere. God's tender mercies are over all who turn to him.
TO MISS THE MARK. We often do miss things and God only punishes those who shake their fist at truth and destroy, kill steal and make misery. To find the mark is be a co-creator of all things good, holy and loving. Jesus came to give life and life abundant. There is an enemy too, who deceives steals, kills and destroys.
I refer to the bolded definition, see more about the original Greek definition of SIN:
• amartia - to miss the Mark
• agnohma - an act done in ignorance of God's will
• SEE: Hebrews 9:7 (Sin committed in ignorance)
• SEE: 1 Timothy 1:13 (Sin committed in ignorance)
• uperbainw - going beyond the will of God
• SEE: 1 Thessalonians 4:6 (overstepping or trespass) in Josephus and Philo lit. "going beyond the head of the risen Lord."
In order to study the definition of Sin, here is a list of Greek words translated as sin:
• skandalon - a cause of sinning or causing someone else to fail
• enoico - guilty or liable
• ponhro - guilty or evil, as a noun one who has done an evil deed.
• ptaiw - stumbling or failing to live up to God's will
• proskomma - taking the opportunity to sin or cause someone to sin
• paratoma - a transgression of the will of God
