If sin is so good, why does God say it's so bad?

Answer 1

If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't.

All this talk about sin sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me. The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.

Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely to me.

First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.

How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?

It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.

One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.

Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.

If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.

If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.

How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.

Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.

If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.

How likely is that????

Think about it.

The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Sin may feel good to begin with, but in the end it is just a waste of time. Sin is also a term used in archery that meant "to miss the mark". God is perfect, meaning without sin, so he has never "missed the mark". From the time Eve took the bite from the fruit of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil until the Glorious Appearing of Jesus Christ at the end of Armageddon, Man has turned his back on God. Sin, no matter how little, is like a grease stain on a perfectly clean persian rug.

Drugs are illegal. It is common knowledge that drugs fry your brain. ...yet, people continue to do drugs because (on a very oversimplified note) they find it to be fun. They disregard the disappointment their families feel when they find out, the fact that it damages them, and the fact that could even kill them. Yet, they still do it.

Sin is also illegal... Sin is technically, "Breaking the laws of God". The end result of sinning is hell. Yet, people continue to sin because it feels fun. They disregard the guilt from within, the self-destruction it causes, and the fact that it does spiritually kill them (ie sends them to Hell). Yet, they still do it.

I have a saying... "If sin wasn't fun, it wouldn't be done".

It is made to feel good for one reason, and one reason only... Satan wants to make people sin, and making it look bad is not going to encourage sin or iniquity (willful, habitual, sin). No one in their right mind would hug a rattlesnake, something obviously hurtful and deadly, and even gives a warning to its presence... but no one would have any serious qualms about hugging a teddy bear (one laced with a deadly contact poison).

It is the same with sin... if sin were obviously "a bad thing", no one would want to do it... kind of like no one plays 6-bullet Russian Roulette just for fun. But if it seemed innocent, harmless, justifiable, or enticing, people would be all for it, without giving it a second thought... and hopefully, would be hooked on it, then made into a habit, and then spread as acceptable to other people.

SIn is FUN for a season. That does not make it good. Good is what every God has said is good. Those things He says is bad are only called bad by Him because they would cause harm to us.
Even as a child would desire to run after their ball, which is good, into a buisy street, which is bad. A partent may even love watching thier child with a ball, but if that ball goes into the street then they would rather have their child safe then watch them with a ball. Trust that God never keeps any good gift from His children.

Answer 5

How is sin good?

Do you really want to dishonor your parents? Commit adultery? Idolatry? Murder?

It might feel good for a little while, but it never works out in the end, does it? That's why God tells us to stay away from sin - i'ts not good for us, and it has disastrous results. God's looking out for us - just like a Mom will tel her little ones to stay away from the fire. Yeah, it's pretty, and yeah it can be fun to satisfy your curiousity - but you get burned. Hopefully not too badly...

Answer 6

The devil makes it look good so that we will continue and even want to sin. It's Satan's way of trying to pull us away from God.

Answer 7

Who said sin is so good?
You may be thinking sex.
Sure its great ....in the right context.
If done out of context, it leads to unwanted pregnancies, unwanted children, adoption, abortion, divorce, STD, etc.
Consequences, there's the rub.
Jumping out of a 30 story building gives quite a rush and can be quite exciting.
30 floors done however, there are consequences.

Answer 8

Bc it is bad, it causes us and others harm. Sin separates us from God, which results in our spiritual and physical death. Sin feels good, bc we're fallen, and so we enjoy it, but it isn't a good thing, it's evil.
