Can a stone by called sinful for being a stone? If christians say that all humans are sinful, then is it sinful to be human? This cannot be.
I am proud to be a human, with all my characteristics. I refuse to call myself sinful, just by the virtue of existing. What is your opinion?

But you are sinful, everyday of every minute. To say that you aren't is just arrogant. If you read you're Bible Jesus Christ died for our sins, but you still have to ask for forgiveness, because you sin everyday of your life, all you can do is try to be more Christlike.

Man was not created to be sinful, because of the sins of Adam and Eve, we were cursed by being born in sin.
Your body is not a sinful thing, your nature has it in it to sin, you as a human will sin, the only one to have walked earth that has not is Jesus. The problem is that we choose to sin, we can't really help ourselves, it is in our nature to do this.
If we come to know Jesus as our Lord and Savior our nature will start to be reshaped, we will receive the Holy Spirit to teach us and to convict us when we start to sin. Over time we will gain more and more control and also give more and more control over to God.
We do this with the reknewing of our minds in the Word of God (Bible) and through prayer and fellowshipping with other Christians.
Alone we can not stand against sin, but in Christ we can do all things.
Society tells us to do our own thing, just do it, it's all relative or subjective, if it doesnt hurt anyone then it's allright.
If you sin, you move further from God, no matter who it hurts the sinner is removed from fellowship by his sin. Jesus brings us back into fellowship and this is a constant struggle between good and evil. One of satans greatest accomplishment is making you think you are not sinfull or that this stuff is not real.
I hope this might help a little, it's a tough concept for many and it is coming to you from a simple sinfull man who believe his only hope is in Jesus Christ.
God Bless.

First off. Adam never sinned!
nope
Eve sinned. she took the fruit from the serpent and Made Adam take a bite by using her devious feminine wiles.
Eve invented cloths. Eve realized shame and Eve got them booted out of eden.
By virtue of following Eve, Adam was found guilty. It was guilt by association.
Sin started with Women... Riblings. it's all your fault women!
You Daughters of Eve really messed things up!
So! In answer to your question.
Women are sinners by right, and by birth, and by nature.

No. Sin is an outdated concept. It is an attempt by religions to personify abstract concepts, God and Satan being the extreme of that personification.
In fact, good and evil are judgements. They are not properties of things. When someone says that X is evil. That is not a property of X. That is a judgement by the person. You can't measure evil in any way in X.
Sin is a property of the observer not the object.

A stone is a stone. A Man is a Person. Man is sinful by nature.

The Bible states that ". . . through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned," (Rom. 5:12 - ).
, we are affected by Adam’s sin. This is how. Before the fall, Adam was sinless, perfect, and good (Gen. 1:31). He had a ‘good’ nature. But, after the fall, he became a sinner. His nature was changed from ‘good’ to ‘bad.’ Since we are his children, we inherit his sinful nature (Rom. 5:12). I

Yes.
Arsenic is sinful by it's characteristics. It will DEFINATELY kill you if you ingest it in sufficient quantities.
So will cyanide.
Sorry about the spelling, but you get my point.
The Poppy and Coca leaf will addict you.
So will the tobacco leaf.
Rubbing a raw tobacco leaf on your skin can cause cancer.
Rubbing posion ivy will cause a rash.

i agree with you
by nature we do what is best in situations presented to us ...
sometimes those things that we do are not for the best
sometimes things that people do may be a result of illness or difficulties ...
i dont believe in sin
i believe in doing our best and righting wrongs ... and learning from everything
i think we are wonderful creatures and should give ourself a pat on the back more often
