What is Sin?

Question

Alot of people say we are born into Sin, we are livng in Sin,
we are undeserving because of our Sins. If Sin is a bad thing,
how are we born into it? I thought that children were innocents.

Answer 1

Children are connsidered innocent until the age of accountability,I think this is the age of 13. All are innocent until they become aware of the law of Karma,cause & effect. The law itself creates Sin,a sense of being separate and apart from God. You are spirit,the life of the body,you lived before you had this body and you will live after it is gone.Karma, Your actions in word,thought and deed produce your life circumstances & your destiny.To rise above this state one must meet a saint who can Give "shaktipat initiation". (baptize with spirit & with fire) there is a multitude of them on earth NOW.

Answer 2

Read Romans 5:12 - 6:23. It has a ton of good stuff about sin (the problem with the world) and salvation (the solution through Jesus). If you don't have a Bible handy, google the reference; there are a lot of online Scripture databases.

Now here's my explanation based on that and other Bible passages

Sin is anything that is bad by God's standard (and God's standard is a heck of a lot higher than ours). The first sin was way way back when Adam and Eve ate from the tree that God told them not to eat from. Their punishment was that they had to leave the garden of Eden. Unfortunately for them and everyone, sin is a snowball. Once it came into the world, there was no stopping it. Every person born from then on was born sinful. It seems weird, but sin is hereditary. If yo uthink about it, it really makes a lot of sense though. Can you think of a single person in the whole world now or ever who never did a single thing wrong? No, theres probably not a day that goes by that not every person sins at least once.

Children are innocent in that they haven't been exposed to all the sin in the world around them, but sinful in the sense that being sinful is just another part of being human. Until . . .

Jesus! Romans gives a lot of comparison bewteen Adam and Jesus. Adam is actually a pattern for Jesus. Since was born like a human but is also God, he was the absolute only person who lived on earth without sinning. His death on the cross, then, was an acceptable payment for the sins of everyone else (this is the principle behind Jewish sacrifices, that sin must be paid for somehow).

Just as Adam's sin led to the sin and death (both physical and spiritual) of all people after him, Jesus' perfect sacrifice led to the righteousness and life of all people after him.

Here's the catch - the only way to be part of that life after Jesus is to submit yourself to him and ask him for it. Not a complicated concept, but not many people are willing to do it.

If youre worried about babies and children who die very young, that's harder for me to answer. I don't know as much about how that works, but really, only God knows for sure. Scripture says that anyone who dies without trusting Jesus doesn't go to heaven, but I believe that babies, though sinful, will also go to heaven simply because their brains arent even develpoed enough to make the conscious desicion to follow Jesus.

Ok I apologize for being so long, but I couldn't just leave sin and death without getting to the good part! As it is I feel like I left out a lot of explanation, but the most important thing isn't what I say, it's what the Bible says. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions for me. God Bless! :)

Answer 3

Most people think sin is an action.
Wrong.
Sin is not something one does.
Sin is a condition .....a 'state' in which we find ourselves.
We are born into this state ....Psalm 51:5.
Don't think children are innocent of sin.
They are cute and lovable, but just as much a part of the condition as adults are.
Consider sin a force trying to exercise its influence within us.
On occasion that force wins ....and we do something bad.
Sin however, is not the something bad, it is the force.
There is hope to get out of this condition, but you didn't ask.

Answer 4

Sin is a made-up concept of our ego/human thought system that then finds its way into being an attribute/belief of God (by projecting this onto god). People make mistakes based upon ignorance of their true nature. The ego thought system -- symbolized so well by the 'good son' in the prodigal son parable -- sees things as sins (with all the other ego/self stuff such as striving to overcome sin, getting eternal reward for doing so, etc.). When we're told about the real nature of god, we change the message and crucify the messenger. Rev. Carlton Pearson was a very popular evangelical with a 5000+ weekly following, visits to the whitehouse, etc. When he had this 'realization' that there was no hell, his flock dwindled to a couple of hundred and he's been ousted by the christian community. Our egos WANT to believe in sin because it solidifies our individuality and our specialness and allows for the concept of striving to get a reward and for the 'us versus them' comparison. To support this concept, we project this whole thought system onto god and then put it into religious books and say that he wrote them.

Answer 5

Sin is the bad things that you do, brought on by temptation. Anything that you know is wrong but are tempted to do it anyway is sin. Sin is something moral people feel guilty after. Sin is not necessarily evil, but God told you not to do it.

And we are not born into it, so that way all children go to heaven when they die because they are children and they don't know right from wrong.

Answer 6

We are not actually born into sin, we are conceived in sin. Satan's lies caused Adam and Eve to disobey God. The consequences of that is that they would know death, and all his offspring (mankind) would know death. Sin separates us from God. Christ came to RIGHT Adam's WRONG. To bridge that gap between us and our Heavenly Father. God sent his Son not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I thought that children were innocents.- Did God not allow that child to be born? God knows every hair on that child's head. God is not unfair nor is he unjust. He will judge according to the condition of the heart.

Answer 7

We arent born into sin, this is ridiculous! But yes we we are living in sins,but its up to us to keep away ourselves from sins or not. I define sin like that : Something which makes God upset.

Answer 8

sin is the absents of God

[Origin: bef. 900; (n.) ME; OE syn(n) offense, misdeed; akin to G Sünde, ON synd sin, L sōns guilty; (v.) deriv. of the n., r. ME sin(i)gen, syn(i)gen, OE syngian, itself deriv. of the n.]
I Yahchanan (John)3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.

Daniyl 7:25—
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts and holy days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.

This religion changes Yahweh's Laws. Remember, she devours the whole earth which means she has changed the Laws of Yahweh in the minds of all people on earth. That's exactly what the last revelation given to mankind shows is the case for this time period. The teaching that mankind does not need to keep or adhere to the inspired Laws of Yahweh has been placed in the minds of all who dwell on the earth in this generation. They have been taught to accept and partake in a mixture of righteousness and evil, which is the same teaching Cain, being led by Satan, presented.

Genesis 3:1-7—
1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.
5 For Yahweh knows that in the day you eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as gods (elohim), knowing righteousness and evil.
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was desirable for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they had sinned; they had violated Yahweh's Laws. Because they had not kept Yahweh's Laws, they were afraid.

Revelation 12:9—
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. She was cast out into the earth, and her angels were cast out with her.

Notice, Genesis 3:7 shows that they sinned. The Theological Word Book of the Old Testament by Harris, Archer and Waltke Volume 2, page 695, shows that the Hebrew root word oram, which was translated naked in the King James Version, is correctly translated sin. Sin is the transgression or breaking of Yahweh's Laws.

I Yahchanan 3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.

This religion, spoken of by the Prophet Daniyl (Daniyl 7:23), actually fought against the Laws of Yahweh and took in all people, causing them to forget Yahweh's Laws that guide one to health, peace, joy, and love. Hence, this religion has effectively turned the whole earth to sin.




No Religion On Earth, Except One, Teaches Or Practices The 613 Laws Of Yahweh In This Generation

All religions worldwide have their own set of laws, customs, and traditions they follow, most of which come from what the inspired Scriptures call pagan (god or demon) worship. None of them follow Yahweh's 613 Laws, not even the Jews, who are probably the only people on earth, besides The House of Yahweh, aware of the fact that there are 613 inspired Laws written in the holy Scriptures. They readily admit that these Laws are not being kept today in Israyl.

No one on earth taught the 613 Laws of Yahweh from the time Yahshua's disciples were murdered until the establishment of The House of Yahweh, according to prophecy, in this present generation.

Each era of The House of Yahweh was persecuted and destroyed after their phase of Yahweh's Plan was completed. The final phase of Yahweh's Work, according to His Plan, was prophesied to begin in the Last Days. You need to learn where that Work is because that is the only place on earth which is promised protection in these Last Days.

The inspired Scriptures only identify one religion that belongs to Yahweh. That religion is always identified the same in Book One and Two of the inspired Scriptures. Read it for yourself in your own Bible or The Book of Yahweh, which is the closest translation to the original inspired writings.

Exodus 19:5-8—
5 Now therefore, if you will truly obey My voice, by keeping My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the Laws that you shall speak to the children of Israyl.
7 And Mosheh came, and summoned the elders of the people, and set before them all the words of the Law of Yahweh.
8 And all the people answered together, and said; All that Yahweh has spoken, we will do. So Mosheh brought their answer back to Yahweh.

I Yahchanan 2:4—
He who says: I know Him, but does not keep His Law, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
