Where do Christians get the idea that God cannot be around sin?

Question

I don't really see that reflected in the Bible.

Answer 1

The Bible says God cannot sin and that he cannot TOLERATE sin.
Read Job, the Devil comes and has a nice little conversation with God.
I think that the whole He can't be around sin originally started as a way to try to get Christians to stop hanging out in the places and with the people that they were.

Answer 2

Actually, a verse of Scripture used sometimes to reflect the fact that God has no part of sin says, "For what communion (fellowship) hath light (God) with darkness (evil)? What concord (business) hath Christ with Belial (false gods, sin in general)? This may or not be satisfactory proof to you, but it is a place to start researching from.

Answer 3

God doesn't tolerate sin. For wickedness and violence and sin God destroyed the world with water. Adam and Eve lost paradise because of sin. Sounds like zero tolerance for sin.
As Jesus Christ God forgave sin because He came into the world to take away sins and defeat Satan. As born-again believers our sins are being purged out, purified and refined daily by the Holy Spirit in us. Doesn't mean we won't sin. It just means we are not bound to sin. We are forgiven because we believe. We have been washed in the blood of Jesus so when the Father looks down He only sees the Son's blood and Jesus in me. Jesus was the passover Lamb. The Old Testament is the allegory for The New Testament reality of Jesus Christ. Now remember I said "reality of Jesus," because there is allegory in the New Testament also.

God is everywhere - even in hell. David said no one can escape God.

Answer 4

I'll bet God finds the whole concept of sin amusing. The lengths that some people go to for control and money. All these years later, that absurd story is still around.

Answer 5

God hates sin.

Answer 6

the bible is FULL OF CRAP!
What's reflected in the bible is lies and deception and believed by brain-washed believers!

Here's some facts about christians:

hell was created by christians - so shall they go there!

christians have KILLED more people in the history of humanity than any other group.

christians have persecuted millions of "non-believers" just because they DIDN'T believe in "christianity!

christians are by far the most brain-washed - brain-dead believers in the world today!

Don't you think God is beyond sin???

Here's the Solution:

Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

Answer 7

Technically... what you weren't reading in the small text is that the notion of "sin" doesn't actually apply to god.... any more than it applies to... say..... rocks.... or mayonaisse.

It is a notion purely meant to apply to inherently fallible beings like ourselves....

Something that is infallible cannot technically sin, as even those things that would be sinful for us are simply parts in another perfect process.



[Not that I believe any of that mind you, but since I have the honour of being a voice of reason around these parts, I might as well fill in for the inherent lack of reason in the average christian required to defend their own views.]

Answer 8

God loves sin.

Answer 10

As a Christian, I have never said God can not be around sin, If that be true, then He would never have dealt with me in 1970, because I was a sinner then. Many Christians mis-quote a statement, God does not Condone sin.
