God created perfect beings - they're called angels, and they're in a constant state of worship and obedience. Mankind, on the other hand, was created with the capacity to sin, with a beginning and an end to his life in this body. So, consider the fact that God didn't have to create anything - but He did. So, for whatever reason He chose to, He created us, and He made us this way, with the capacity to sin.
"Allah has created Adam from a handful (soil) which He had gathered from all over the earth. That is how the children of Adam came according to the (colour and nature of the) earth. There are white among them, as well as red and black, and cross colours. There are those among them who are of bad nature and good nature, soft as well as harsh and in between". (Islamic Tradition)

God made us perfect but because the sinning near the beginning of time we fell(1). We are a fallen people, fallen into a pit that we cannot escape. With edges as smooth as glass and only Jesus Christ can rescue us from are pits of sin...no matter how hard we try we will never get out without God's
help. Even if we tried a million times...it would have to be Christ who rescued us. As he did on the Cross. Dying for are sins, and was buried, and He rose on the third day(2). So in other words, we are sinners who can be have are sins covered by Christ's righteousness, not our own which is as filthy rags(3).
(1)Genesis Chapter 3
(2)1 Corinthians 15:3-4: 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures
(3)Isaiah 64:6: All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

No, it isn't a sin. It comes from a Biblical statement by the appostle Paul
You have the false idea that you were perfect at one time. Sorry to say this , but no one has been perfect for a long time. Since the first sin when Adam and Eve disobeyed, humans have not been perfect in any way except for Jesus, and that is because his Father is perfect.
By saying that it is a sin for others to quote that Bible verse, you too are passing judgement.

God created man perfect but he chose to sin rather than to listen to what God told him. So God did not create us in sin but perfect. Man is the one that chose to sin and brought it on his decendents. Would you want a robot to serve you or would you rather have someone that has a choice of either serviing you or not? God gave us free will so we can have a choice in the matter. Even God said that we all sin, "all are sinners" so it is not God that is to fault but us. Have you sinned? If you are honest you will admit that you have. Did God make you a sinner or did you choose it? When you were first born you didn't know what sin was so at that time you were perfect in your ways but later you chose to sin. Is that God's fault? If I choose to go murder someone, can I blame you for that? It is not what others judge to be bad or good but what God judges to be bad or good that we need to be mindful about. So God says we are all sinners and man will just repeat what God has said. Is it a sin to repeat what God says?

Okay, you are a little misguided on this one. God originally made us perfect until we used our free will to defy Him. So it's not His fault. But then, on top of that, once we have accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior we are made perfect in God's eyes. God is the supreme judge on all things. He is the best judge of character and heart. Sin is sin is sin. It comes in all shapes and sizes and packages. The best thing to do is to realize we are all sinners and leave well enough alone.

Jesus said in Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God. but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments".
Jesus was sinless. But Jesus was not perfect till He had fulfilled the will of God. God was born to bear the sins of the world that we could have a mediator between us and God.
You are right on judging others. Only God is the true righteous judge. Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel to all the world. If the gospel comdemns your spirit that is for you to take up with God. God is the one that made the rules.

If you can get past the "people say" and start believing what God says (The Bible), you will find all the truth that you are seeking, plus a ton of relief from the perfectionist lie that keeps some religious people striving to earn God's favor. The Bible is good news for man, not confusion; but you have to read it for yourself and let His word speak to your heart. God is not to blame for man's problems. He is allowing free will and offering a future and a hope through His Son.

Didn't I tel u that organized religions have done a super job of brainwashing ppl?
They 've been telling ppl that they are SINNERS, SUFFERERS etc etc. This is terrible because these words are now in their SUBCONSCIOUS. And they really become SINNERS and SUFFERERS. Simple Hypnotism/psychology!!.
Of course it's good for the organized religion conglomerates!!! Cause we all have to keep going to them and filling their coffers to CLEANSE ourselves. And then they give a set of rules NOBODY can live by. and we SIN and Suffer MORE. And they get Rich.
Unfortunately some have been BRAINWASHED so bad that they are willing to go to war, behead people, Bomb clinics etc etc. How sad?

Why do we have to be perfect? God made us humans. Humans makes mistakes. That the way it is.
And, as for the sinners part-we all sinned!
All of us. Only He knows when it is our time to go, who will enter the Kingdom and who will not.
People need to mind their own business and worry about themselves and stop worrying about the "sinners" around them!

God created man in his own image, and man was perfect. But remember that Adam and Eve were tempted, and sinned against God, and were cast from the Garden of Eden. Ever since, Man was born with that Original sin still cast against him. The only "perfect" man, in accordance with Christianity, was Jesus Christ, who was the Son of God, above sin, and who died so that our sins would be erased.
