if we humans sin necessarily, then how can we be so in debt to god for our sins?

Question

if we humans sin necessarily, if sin is intrinsically connected with free-will, then why are we so in debt to god for our sin?
if it is impossible to not sin, then how can you have free will in this situation?
why would god create us as creatures who would imminently sin and then be dissappointed at us for not honoring him perfectly?

Answer 1

Calm down or your head will implode. Best to just become a Buddhist and feel free and in control.

Answer 2

Good question(s).

We aren't so much "in debt" for our sins, as we are _condemned_ for them. To express it as a debt implies that we could conceivably repay it ourselves, which is utterly impossible precisely BECAUSE we're sinful.

It isn't that we humans sin "necessarily," but that we sin _inevitably_. We sin because we have inherited our sinful nature from Adam & Eve, and ever since then we are incapable of choosing righteousness consistently.

I don't think sin has any intrinsic connection with free will. Tangential connection at most, IMO.

It's impossible for us NEVER to sin, but that doesn't mean we sin all the time. We can freely choose to obey God, but we know that, even then, our obedience will be imperfect.

Your last question is made completely unanswerable by its first three words: "Why would God. . .?" Consider God's omnipotent, omniscient nature. He is our Creator; we are His creatures. How can any created being possibly plumb the depths of its Creator's mind? Our knowledge of Him is forever limited to what He has enabled us to grasp and what He chooses to reveal to us.

Answer 3

God is basically. And he's likewise eternal. And Love. eternal Punishment is the answer to an eternal basically God. God shows His Love and Mercy by way of Jesus Christ: "For God so enjoyed the worldwide, that he gave his in basic terms begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shouldn't perish, yet have eternal existence". Say, do not you often times have the sensation that in the course of basic terms organic loss of life isn't sufficient to all of the depraved women and adult males human beings around? nicely, once you're full of injustice or maybe regardless of the undeniable fact that experience some evil human beings deserve extra effective than loss of life, how is it so demanding believing the basically one - who can and could make Justice inspite of each little thing - won't punish them? Peace!

Answer 4

If what you wrote was in fact the truth, your objection would be understood. But there is no truth in what you have written. What you have written has never been taught by the Catholic Church. Scripture has it that: 1 Corinthians 10:13b
"God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it."
By the way, God created us for love. So love and do what you will. But let it be truly love.

Answer 5

while God will hold everyone accountable, each of their own lives, He extends his grace to the repentant sinner. He promises that "If the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statures and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die... All his transgressions which he has committed will not be REMEMBERED against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. Do i have any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the lord God rather than that he should turn from his ways and live? I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies, declares the lord. Therefore, repent and live. By death God is not referring to the physical death. rather God is referring to something which will happen in eternity, after our physical deaths. The scriptures refer to this event as the second death. The first death separates us from our bodies and takes us from this world. the 2nd death is different. it also entails a separation, but its the separation of one group of people from another; the righteous and the forgiven on one hand and the wicked and the unrepentant on the other... The two groups will be judged separately.The one group will be rewarded according to the good that they've done. Their evil deeds will be over looked, forgiven by God. The other group will be judged according to the evil that they have done and their good deeds will not keep them from the punishment. God says "when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die. but when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which HE HAS COMMITTED AND PRACTICES justice and rightousness he will save his life. because he considered and turned away from all his transgrassions which he had committed he sall surely live; he shall not die..... therefore repent and live. In this way god will see that justice unltimately prevails, but that mercy is given to the humble and the repentant.
God had made a provision for those who want to repent, a provision to atone for the sins of those who want to be made right with him. He sent a Messiah, A Servant Who Willingly, Suffered and died a vicarious death in order to pay for the Sins of those who would repent and trust in him. The scriptures say, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the lord been revealed. Surely he took up our infirmities and carred our sorrows. He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

We all like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way and the lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all....it was the lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the lord makes his life a guilt offering.

Answer 6

God is righteous man is not. Sin is sin. The fact that man's nature is sinful does not justify his sin. God provided a way because he loved his creation and that way was to pay the penalty of death for all who accept the atonement provided by Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

He gave us a way to be reconciled back to him. That way is open to all and if it's rejected then that's a choice made by free will. We all have the choice whether to repent and believe God or not.

We honor God by repenting and believing in Jesus. Faith is the only way we can please him.

Answer 8

First of all you should know that this world is just an examination hall for us everyone has to leave this world and has to go to his God. God has sent us in this world to check our abilities about our faithfulness towaeds Him. How faithful we are? How thankful we are? He gave us lot of beautiful things. The things which are uncountable....we use them daily and make our life easy and happy.This all is because of His Mercy. we should thankful and faithful to Him. He wants to examine us, how brave we are how powerful we are against Satan who wants to detrack us. Satan doesnt want to see us successful. Because he is our enemy from the day one. God has given us superiority over Satan. Satan became jealous. He challenged that he would prove Human being as inferior to him and make them unsuccessful in the eyes of God. God wants to see us successful. He gave us abilities to defeat Satan. But if we do not use our abilities and prove ourselves as slaves of Satan then it is just that we are making hell for ourselves. We are bringing our fire with us otherwise Hell doesnt have the fire.

Answer 9

Because we sin, not simply necessarily, but also by choice.

You do what you know is wrong because you want to do what is forbidden, and not do what is commanded.

Romans 7:7-8
7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

Romans 7:14-25
14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.
15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.
16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.
17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.
20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Answer 10

Only Christians are born with sin. Atheists are born with pure souls, superior intelligence, and greater social skills. As a result, they do not require instruction or religious inspired fear to motivate them to proper and good behavior.
