Best inclusive definition I've found is
"missing the mark" - "you missed". An archer "sins" if he doesn't hit the target. We're not perfect. No one is. Even if you're trying.

As in Phil 3:14

I press for the mark of prise of the high calling of G-d in union with Yeshua Messiah.




So how do you press for the that mark?

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Be perfect.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Define what it means to "be perfect "

 

[Orangedogsrule]

You know, like God would be. Perfect, ...doesn't "miss".

 

[Orangeslice13]

But what if you miss.
Then what?

 

[Orangedogsrule]

You're not perfect. You "miss".
So nobody's perfect.
So what? We all miss the mark one way or another, right mate?

 

[Orangeslice13]

So we're back to "what does it mean to press for the mark"?

The words themselves "press for the mark" indicates "the mark" "the bulls eye" in our dealings with others is not easy nor often hit. And the bulls eye is, "Be ye perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect".

That ain't me. Everyone on here would rightfully call me a hypocrite if said I came close. I have never hit the bulls eye.
