Men made it up because they had to have a name for something that we would certainly do that could get us into hell. If we fear hell, but believe that they can "save"us, we gladly part with our money.

Being with God does not mean you will not be tempted by sin. We are all tempted everyday. It is how you handle those temptations that are important. We all sin everyday and sometime we do it unknowingly and God is forgiving. If you know you're sinning and continue to do it, you are not with God. Sin started with Adam and Eve and the apple.

On the contrary, just because you're with God doesn't mean you won't be tempted to sin. As long as we live on this earth and are living in our sinful flesh, we'll be tempted to sin. But by the power of God, we have the strength to overcome that temptation, and to not let it rule over us!

I'm with God and I sin daily. I'm not bragging, just being honest. We all sin. We are still flesh. God hates sin but loves the sinner and as long as we try our best not to sin it's as repentence. After The Lord's Day, there will be no more sin.

When did you become inhuman? We are all sinners and have come short of the glory of God. Sin started when Eve took of the forbidden fruit that God forewarned not to partake of. We should be thankful for our free will that God has given us, but we should also be thankful for the forgiving mercy that He has provided for us to overlook the sinning nature that we are born into..

God put us in an enviroment where we had a choice. That simple.
Once you are in the complete presence of God in the heavenly realms, submission to God is not optional.
It is not forced either. Submission will just be the natural reaction to being in the presence of the Almighty King of the Universe.
The Bible clearly states that on the day Christ returns, every knee will bow.

Depends on if you believe in sin or not. But if you do, people have been sinning since the beginning of time.

God and goodness is like a candle in the center of the room. In the center everything is illuminated and bright, but on the sides and corners darkness prevails.
Sin is not an entity in the same way goodness is, it is merely the absence of goodness.
Of course, that's just one opinion of many.

There's pretty much always temptation. I'm not sure who gave you the idea there wasn't but I think they were wrong.

It started with man's attempt to live his life apart from God. When you make yourself your own Master, flesh rules. When you make Jesus your Lord and Master, His love rules and guides us along the path of righteousness.
