The book must then be reread with the apogee governing the interpretation of the rest of the work. If there are these two categories of sin then it is imperative to accurately define each type and discover the topics bearing on the rest of the book. The implication that many people make is that the person who sins intentionally can never be forgiven. This sin is the rebellion of heart very much like that of Satan. The related theological problem is to define when a person has committed this type of sin.
Systematic theology runs into the problem of definition.
Story is sometimes a better vehicle of defining a topic than the theological pronouncements of theologians. The stories of travel deal with an eleven day journey of praise to the land of promise that turned into a nightmare lasting for forty years. The sins of the people in each section are worth examining.
