Dear sir,
WHAT A VERY GOOD QUESTION!!
Do you remember ADAM and EVE!
God ordered them not to eat from the forbidden tree........and after a while the satan tells them go eat from the forbidden apple tree because it will give you eternity and be immortals and be angels!
SO....ADAM and EVE ate from the forbidden tree that god ordered them not to eat from it!....so the committed a SIN....
BUT
why did they eat from it although they have minds to think!
Because
SATAN only whispered to them what their INSTINCT wants ...they know they are going to die someday since they are mortals...and deep inside there is a desire to live long and to be immortal!.....thats why they ate and SINNED!!
SO...the reason is not that satan whispered to them ....but the reason is they did what their instinct wanted...the satan just guided them to the way!
IT IS NOT SATAN TO BLAME......it is the INSTINCT AND DESIRES INSIDE!!
so...
The answer to your question is...they sinned because the turned OFF their minds and turned ON their instincts!
GIVING CONTROL OF YOU TO THE INSTINCT NOT THE MIND!!
and thats we are all sinners!
you see a beautiful sexy woman.....you want to go to her and do stuff!!!..........but you USE your mind and your mind tells you that you will be a sinner and will go to hell!!
but what if you TURN OFF your mind and follow your basic instincts.....you will go to her and be a sinner!!
I think that is the answer of the question!!
ISLAM SAYS IN THE HOLY QURAN " Have you seen who has followed his instincts and what he desires and his condition has gone bad"
" The one that has taken his desires his god, he has gone astray"
islam says
"it is not the blindeness of the eyes it is the blindeness of the hearts"
"who was in this life blind(in the soul) he would be blind in the after life (in the soul), and says (O god , why did you ressurect me as blind and i have been sightful ) God says, because you have seen my signs and you forgot it and today(in judgement day) you shall be blind"
it means that not following the signs and directions of god and following your desires will only lead you to your doom and will leave you astray and blind in the day you will need to see
I hope i have been helpful
thank you
and
peace be upon you

You are not a sinner.
This is religious nonsense. 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 and we are perfect creations of a perfect God 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.

You are intellectual but still a sinner - you have an eternal soul within you that when you die - it has to go somewhere - Heaven or Hell. Your choice. The Bible says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Doesn't have anything to do with your mind - just your heart. Blessings.

We are born into sin, ever since Adam and Eve first sinned by disobeying God, bringing sin into this world. We can try as best we can to be as Christlike as possible, but no one is perfect and we'll fail often .. then we repent and ask forgiveness and can move on secure in Jesus' love for us. We can't help but sin, since we're sinners, but can try to do what the Bible tells us to, and think on "whatever is pure and lovely" and obey God's commands. Our thoughts are controllable, though it's hard to do sometimes when our feelings are intense over something maybe, but we can keep our focus on God and His Word and pray for our thoughts to be good and right as He'd want them to be. God gave us choices .. use them wisely, and we can choose to place our faith in Jesus so our sins are forgiven.

Because we choose to sin. Paul, the great apostle, even said "the good I would do, I do not...the evil I would not do, I do." How I relate to him. I so look forward to the time I am purified, when the weak person I am, full of sin, will be transformed into that which is holy.

we all have minds to think however because of our human nature we sometimes think with the wrong motives or try to remove reason to justify some actions. we naturally tend to sin and give into temptation at times, however being able to think we can notice and rectify these errors with seeking honest forgiveness from god.

WE ARE SINNER BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK AT TIME WE JUST GOES WITH WHAT FEELS RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT IF FOR ONE INSTANT WE KNEW THAT WE WOULD GO STRAIGHT O HELL RIGHT THEN AND THERE IF WE COMMITTED SIN AGAINST GOD WE WOULD THINK A LITTLE MORE CLEARER BEFORE WE ACTED.

We have minds to think;
unfortunately, we can think in self-centered ways or we can be other-centered, or the third choice: Christ centered.
That breaks down to the worship of self, the worship of others, or the worship of God.
Free will.
