Anti-Sin

Filed under: life, Thoughts — Skabeesh @ 1:26 am

The hindus have it(sanskrit)
paap-sin
punya-opposite of sin

The greeks have it
hamartia-sin (used to describe “sin” in greek versions of bible)
teleos – opposite of sin

The ancients egyptians have it
isfet – sin
ma’at -opposite of sin

The arabs had many, for example(arabic)
fasad – sin
salah – the opposite of sin

There are many other cultures and languages that have more or less almost perfect antonym for sin…but I am yet to find the perfect antonym for the word “sin” in English….Thats virtue maybe.
