If you go to the original Aramaic text (Aramaic being the language
Jesus spoke) and look at the terms from the context of the Arimaic
Culture you will see the simplicity of the teachings.  The word for
sin came from the archery ranges, when the archer missed the target he
yelled "sin."  It was mean't to be positive mental feedback, not
something to guilt and shame people with.  It meant, you are off the
mark, try again.  Most of our learning in this life comes from making
mistakes  (mis-takes,  off the mark perceptions)  They help us to see
where we are off the mark so we can correct our perceptions (by
grace).   As you forgive you are forgiven.  As soon as you recognize
the inaccurate perception and forgive it from your mind you are free
of the results of its effect on you.  The law was meant to bless not
punish.  It is a "Houston Contol Center" for our spiritual journey.
It lovingly guides us back on course when we are misguided by false
information (perceptions).  By the way, where the arrow landed when it
missed the target was called "evil."
