what are your beliefs on man and sin?

Answer 1

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.

If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.

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.

Answer 2

I believe sin, in particular original sin, is a concept invented to force people into religion. With original sin you don't even have to do anything bad to be doomed to an eternity in hell. That's your loving god for you.

Answer 3

Everyone is prone to temptation which leads to sin. The ones that conquer temptation become virtuous and can more clearly see the path to good life, and a path given to us by God. No one is perfect, yet we must try, because then shall we feel no guilt, be more open to others, and become closer to God. We can ask for forgiveness only when we truly want it, when our hearts truly mean it.

Answer 7

I don't believe that humans are born with sin. It makes no sense that little babies, who are so vulnerable and suggestible, are born with evil in their hearts.

I do believe that, as we reach maturity, we will be held in account for negative actions.
