If you "made" something, would you intentionally make it function improperly?

Question

Then why would God give Man both the capacity and desire to "sin"?
RAmen.

Answer 1

Only if I had the contract to repair it.

Answer 2

A desire to do something wrong is not god given, Capacity to choose to "sin" is god given. It would not be very loving to make your children do exactly as you wanted. We are free to choose as we wish. We can choose to give into the desire or not, but desire to "sin" is not inherent. I have no desire to kill, steal, lie or bang my next-door neighbor; however, I can choose to foster and feed each of these ideas to the point when they do become desires. If I was making people, I would give them the freedom to choose to do anything they pleased and this is just what God has done.

Answer 3

I hate when people ask this question. You've played with leggos, right? When you build something, it's so easy to destroy it. And so just by being born and having free will, we have the capacity to destroy our surroundings and sin. By having the wide spectrum of emotions from happiness to fear, there are the shades inbetween known as guilt, anger, pride, arrogance, despondency, or love, wonder, excitement, humor, pity, you name it.

In the end, it paints a beautiful picture. Things aren't functioning improperly, you're just not learning the lessons you're supposed to. To gain wisdom is to gain knowledge of all things good and evil. By experience suffering, we learn all the things that come with life.

Without the capacity and desire to "sin" as you put it, there would be no magical tales of the prince that saved the princess from the dragon's tower or the tyrant's dungeon. There would be no wonder.

Answer 4

Sometimes, yes, depending on what I was making.

One must distinguish between an item with utilitarian value versus one with aesthetic value. Musicians can vouch for this - sometimes the best music is NOT precise or perfect. (If you really think about it - music concerned with nothing but harmony and melody can get very boring very fast. An occasional dissonant element can really breathe life into a song, since people aren't expecting it to happen, so it takes them by surprise.)

Similarly, with painted works - not all artists aim to perfectly replicate the focus of their piece. A lot of them are more interested in capturing the 'impression' of the work, and some amount of personal interpretation gets added to the mix.

Answer 5

I do not see why having the ability to sin means that man is functioning improperly. Sinning is not improper; it is choice.

Answer 6

There are much more sensible and convincing ways to argue against the existence of a god. Try science or something.

Anyways, I think people will say stuff about God giving humans free will.

Answer 8

He did not give them the desire to sin - this is where your thinking is way off - Satan gave them the desire - there is no sin in God.

Answer 9

Satan did that, not God. God created humans with perfection and no sin, but with free will. Satan presented the path for evil and destruction and sin.

Answer 10

FREE_WILL, that is the only way the man has the ability to truly love god, if we didn't have free-will we would be nothing more than "robots" programmed to love god, this is not the way god wants us to love him, instead god wants us to voluntarily love him through free-will, sin also possible with free-will>

Answer 11

And also why did "god's" creation contain deadly viruses and disease. If I buy a swiss made watch it doesn't make me sick or kill me .So as Seinfield might say "What's with this sin and disease in God's creation anyway?" No all kidding aside I get the point and agree entirely.
