<DIV><FONT size=2>Is <STRONG>hAMARTHTE </STRONG>a specific sin or sin in 
general?  Is he here referring to the inherited sin that Romans 5:12 
mentions or rather a sin that would involve a wrongdoing different from regular 
imperfection?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I just found it quite strange that he "writes so that they do 
not commit a sin" when </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1 John 1:8 tells us that to make the statement: "We have no 
sin" then constitutes us as a liar. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I seriously doubt John was contradicting himself a few 
verse later.  He most likely had something else in mind. Does the 
Greek reveal anything I am missing?</FONT></DIV>
