Like food,sex,wants of the world. We do all of these things and yet it is a sin. I think god set us up to fail. Why is that?

It's a lie perpetrated by Christianity in order to keep people coming back to their churches, thus giving them money and power. As long as you can convince people that all the natural tendencies and inclinations of mankind are "sins," and that the only way to be purified of them is through your religion, you can keep them coming back forever because they will never be free from these "sins."

Eating, having sex and desires of some of the things in this world are not sin. Whatever gave you that idea. Just put into the proper context and not worshipped or revered is all God asks. You can enjoy food, just don't be a glutton and let food rule you. That's God's job. Having sex is a good thing, but not with someone you are not married to. It is unhealthy for you and the other person involved emotionally and spiritually. Desires for the things of this world? Solomon was rich. Having material things doesn't make you a sinner, but greed is.

Eating is necessary gluttony is a sin
Sex between a husband and hie wife is what
God intended. sex with anyone or anything else is sin
The truth is good lying is a sin
Liking someone Lamborghini is ok Coveting it isn't
Honoring parents is good Disrespect and mistreatment is a sin
worshiping God(JVH) is good idol worship or blaspheming is a sin
Today people want sin not righteousness.Liberals and antichristians are pushing evil and antichristian agendasand try to say people need to be tolerant of sin and God should be tolerant of sin.All through history God made it clear He won't tolerate any sin and He hasn't changed.

Well, if you look at what Jesus said, he was against the religious people who said everything was a sin, he would not have been crucified if he had agreed with them. He said there is another way. There is no law to follow, we are free, Christians don't realise that sin is nothing compared to grace. It's death to think we are sinners when we are really children of God

food is not a sin, neither is sex. What is sinful is:
taking what belongs to another
not respecting others
not loving God above all things.
God did not set us up to fail. But He knew we would fail, and provided a Saviour, Jesus Christ, and a Helper, the Holy Spirit.

They're supposed to spawn desires, which are detrimental to those on the spiritual path. Really though, it's when people take these too far that there is a problem.

It isn't, regardless of what Christians or the Bible tell you. It's just their way of controlling you. Now, if everything you did was unnatural, then it would be wrong, or a sin.
You must have been really traumatized or brainwashed at that Christian school.

Man sins when he attempts to be divine.
Everyone you describe is a sin when it is placed before God.
If you read the bible, you know when man's first failure occur. God limited man for his safety. Man decided to ignore God's warning and that started our mortal life on Earth.
Answer: God did not set up man to fail, man can do that by himself.

Because we are born with a sin nature. When Adam sinned it brought death and destruction to the world forever. We have to be taught to do right but not taught to do wrong.

god does not wish to see us fail. He gives us choices. Life did not start out like this... people made the world what it is today so do not blame God blame the devil and sinful people.
