ANCIENT WORD OF THE DAY

Hamartano is the New Testament Greek word for sin.  It reminds you of harmful or harm which exactly what we do to ourselves when we trespass, offend, or sin. People have reaped what they sow for millennia.  The Old Testament Hebrew word, chata, doesn’t sound so harmful but the sin is the same.

Did You Know?

Several WordBloomers recently asked what “OT”, “NT” and “TSK” stood for in the WordBloom window.  The OT prefix indicates an Old Testament ancient definition and NT indicates a New Testament definition. These prefixes are always followed by a definition number.  The numbers were standardized by Stong, a great Biblical scholar, and have been used for hundreds of years. We include them for those that already have Strong definition tools.

TSK is an acronym for Treasury of Scripture knowledge.  Once again, we include this prefix and number for backwards compatibility to one of the world’s greatest cross-reference resources.  You will see this prefix on many cross-references in WordBloom.
