Answer 1

thier influence (baggage) is whats meant by this

Answer 2

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 3

No I don't think so. In today's society everyone wants to remain blameless for their faults or mistakes, it's always somebody elses fault, never their own.

When people start being accountable and taking responsibility for their own actions rather than blame their parents, the state or the local cafe that served them the hot coffee that they spilled down themselves, certainly the UK will become a much better place to live in, rather than the compensation culture we are beginning to adopt.

Clearly I'm not talking about adults that were abused as children, emotionally, physically or sexually, but even in that situation, there is a way forward, some people just need extra help in realising it.

Answer 4

yes they do... and sometimes u have to take care of their unfinished business as well. its like the theory of karma. coz the only way nature or Gods can square up accounts with ur parents is by targetting u. if they did something wrong and u were punished for that. its the only way in which they would suffer/ repent for their wrong doings.

Answer 5

Oh yes it's true I have seen that happen to people, start observing people around you closely and you'll notice it too, why does it happen like that? well because every human being loves his children more than anyone else, so that is God's way of punishing people
