What if the word “sin” doesn’t mean what you think it means? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders unpacks how the New Testament’s original context and language reveal a radically different definition from what many churches teach today. Are we missing the real message by focusing on behavior rather than belonging? Join us as we challenge familiar beliefs, explore the surprising roots of “sin,” and ask if we’ve been drawing the wrong boundaries all along. If you’re ready to rethink faith, inclusion, and what really puts us “in” or “out,” this episode is for you."Sinner, or the word sin in the first century, was almost entirely about occupation and stature, not behavior." - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 Rethinking Sin00:42 NT 90 Reading Plan02:23 Three Big Bible Words05:04 Sinner as Moral Label06:48 Sinners by Occupation08:42 Sinners by Social Status11:07 No Behavior Checklist11:58 Gospel Evidence Tour17:56 Luke Parables Setup21:00 John 9 Category Clash26:20 Toward Paul Galatians26:27 Sinners as Outsiders27:25 New Testament Evidence30:15 Boundary Marker Label30:53 Modern Arrow Reversal34:48 Gatekeeping Checklists37:26 Hamartia Missing Mark39:45 Hebrews Trust Problem43:52 Actions as Fruit46:59 Guilt Engine Wrap Up48:51 Next Episode Death49:40 Study and Reading Plan
