People choose to sin. We have free will.

Have you ever thought....what is the opposite of sin?
For some reason you only get brownie points for being bad.
This may or may not be the reason why sin was created, or is there sin at all! Is sin a lie or are we forgiven arleady for it. 1 John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 1 John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 1 John 2:6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him(IF you are a christian you should not sin and you will not sin) 1 John 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 John 1:8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ( we all sin even if you abide in god or not! )You know in your heart according to the word of god that any thing that you do is almost consired a sin. Romans 7:14 for we no that the law is spritual,but i (paul) am carnal sold under sin (he is in the human body sold of sin) There is a new christainanty arising it has tooken the controdictions and turned them into the truth. There will be books to come that prove the bible as a distored factual book. Yet you need to see what the truth is and what is made to disort you. That is what is wrong with society today(disorted).
This new "christany" I have only seen a couple of times. They believe that you do not sin becuase jesus died for your sin. There fore you can not sin anymore. For if you did sin then what is the point of jesus. Many would call this new age but yet it is more true then what you believe now if you are christian. They are understanding the bible instead of reading it @Joshua Washburn

It's all for the leason of learning what He already knows. There is a balance to all that He created. Man & woman, Good @ bad. But not until we experince these things and see them hand in hand do we realize that He is a Great teacher at the expense of many peoples sufferings. To answer your question, yes He knows ALL, yes he created ALL, yes he punishes sin even though He has written sin in Our destiny. Why? To show Us the difference between earth and Heaven. There is no hell.

Because the point of sin is to turn away from the temptation and towards God. But then you get into the discussion of God being all-knowing and truly knowing what will happen before it happens. If he does then it can be debated that we have no free will so then we are being punished for sins that we never truly had the option of turning away from.

God does not write sins into man's destiny. He gave man free agency so that he might choose his own path. God is omniscient, and so knows what the man will do before he does it.
I think the real question is 'Why doesn't god save man from sinning, if he knows man will sin?'
That is because god decided that man should have his own free will. We make our own destinies, even though God already knows what they are.

God's original plan did not include our sin. Adam and Eve invited sin in through their disobedience of the word of God.
God has given all men free will to chose. There is consequences for all actions whether good or bad. The consequences of sin of course are bad, because man is straying from God's word.
Remember "The wages of sin is death" --- Romans 6:23.

Well, I don't pretend to know everything but I think the theory is that God is all-knowing. But he gave us free will. So the choice to sin is ours and the will not to sin is given to us. But God knows what our choices will be and where they will take us. He doesn't change the way we chose though. Does this help?

God knows in advance what you will "Freely" choose.
That's ridiculous.
How can you have a destiny-- which God SEES.
And still have free-will?
The concept totally breaks down.
Either god is omnipotent and perfect, or there is free-will.
They are incompatible
Not that we can have either by fiat. Free-will makes even less sense than a bellicose and merciful God.

This isn't true because God is perfect so He cannot cause someone to sin. He may know we will sin but we still choose to sin He does not cause us to sin.

There are no punishment ever as we only reap what we sow.
God is just a witness, unless we make him a partner in our choices by surrendering to divine will by following our inner voice.
