Without sin we wouldn't need a savior

If this were the case, there would be no such thing as right and wrong. EVERYTHING would be alright. Kill, lie, steal, incest, rape, .......(I could go on) would all be considered as right and proper.. The Bible sets parameters, tells what is right and what is wrong but creates sin or a sinner..no. If the Bible created sinners a person would never be responsible for his/her own actions. Like the old term "the devil made me do it."but in this case it would be more like "I didn't know it was wrong" Without making sin known, without knowing right from wrong, the world would have no need for rules. It would be a "free for all" chaos.

The bible is not only a set of rules and regulations laid down by god, it is also a letter of love. before the bible was first started, man was sinning for over two thousand years. I say that without the bible, forgiveness would never be known. the bible does not create sin, sin caused a bridge to be formrd between man and God through His son Jesus Christ. the bible tells us how to cross that bridge. the bible makes us aware of our sin, and it also makes us aware of a way that we can gain forgiveness for our sins.

No, the bible do not create a sinner. If the Gospel is applied to one's life, it will save those that believe from their sin. God's desire for all men is that He wants them to be saved from sin

Interesting. . .Voltaire believed religious doctrine should not be taught to children. . .I would agree!
But the Bible is a "library" or collection of books. . .and not all of them exposure the reader to "law" and therefore "sin" (as the consequence for failing to follow law). . .and for this reason I would not withhold the Bible from children.
Personally, I love Proverbs, Psalms, Jonah, and the Gospels. . .but get headaches reading too much of Paul's letters (Epistles).
Why Jonah? It's short. . .and too the point. . .G-d redeems Jonah, keeping him from harm (after having been swallowed by a giant sea creature). . .but Jonah continues to bicker and complain to G-d well into the closing chapter of the book.
Message: G-d meets all of us half way. . .we only need to draw nigh unto G-d for Him to draw nigh unto us. . .perfection is not required of us. . .only that we find our own personal way and means to love/respect G-d to the best of our abilities. . .and to keep doing it!

Our children are innocent. It is after the age of accountability that they become accountable.
We are born sinners...even before God gave the 10 commandments of right and wrong people sinned and I think knew it was not good to do....surely they had guilt afterwards...

Sin is just Jehovah's way of creating loyalty through guilt. Sin only has power over you if you buy into it.

You have a point there. Now watch all the brainwashed fanatics scream at you with their Biblical quotations.

Pride leads us to view ourselves as genius philosophers. Pride is a vice of the Devil. I hope you understand.
Good luck my friend.
