=0)

Answer 1

To answer your question in a nutshell. Why are certain things cosidered forbidden or sinful? Answer. Because they will cause harm to yourself or someone else. Think about it. Stealing, killing, abusive behavior of all kinds,unwanted pregnancies,drunken driving that can cause injury or death.and on and on. It's really quite simple when you think about it.

Answer 2

The concept of sin was meant to keep people in line from doing anything that they wanted. It also is used as a tool for manipulation and to make people feel guilty about doing things that pretty much are a part of everybody's human nature.

Answer 3

For some, I guess it adds extra lure to the forbidden thing. For everyone else, it still doesn't eliminate all enticement completely.

I suppose you could say the same about laws or rules in general. Most people don't like restrictions of any kind. Thus the terrible two's.... ;o)

Answer 4

I don't think there's anything in this world that can stop me from doing forbidden things. May be there're no such concept that will guide me committing sins more.
The result of this would be "I will become a scholar one day."

Answer 5

Only if you love sin as opposed to virtue|


Some people, because something is wrong or forbidden, want to do it for precisely that reason|

Now, a goody two shoes is the *opposite extreme,* in wanting to adhere to a narrow legalistic definition of goodness, to oppose the legitimate wild, the profound, or a freedom that makes one soar|


So we have to avoid both extremes, as each is a kind of narrowness, enslaved to the idea of rebellion for its own sake (each in the opposite direction from each other)|

Answer 6

I think the fear of sinning makes people act better and do less "forbidden" things....but these actions are based on fear not love......rather, we should not do the "forbidden" thing because of love.

Answer 7

I would not generalize it like that. Some sins are more inviting than others. We rebel by nature. It is not easy to follow God's rules, but it is simple and the laws are made to protect us.

Answer 8

Maybe. This would especially hold true for the younger crowd. Tell a child not to look into a certain container, closet, etc. and they will wait till your not looking and do just that.

Answer 9

No, the concept of sin is the opposite of what humans are supposed to be: animals.

Sin dictates "robot" to me.

Answer 10

The concept of sin is deception.
