How are we sinful? did god get it wrong?

Answer 1

We're not sinful and there's no god to get it wrong.

There are however, people who do bad things as well as good things.

Answer 2

Who decides what is 'sin'? As for God, we are all our own Messiahs and only we have the power to decide what is right or wrong for us no one else. The reason for this is simple- one man's home may be another man's prison. There what is sinful is subjective and not written on stone. If there is a God he willed us to be happy and that happiness can only come when we lead our lives by our rules and not give into to others due to compulsion.

Answer 3

Sin: Literally, a missing of the mark, according to the Hebrew and Greek Bible texts. God himself sets the “mark” that his intelligent creatures are to reach. Missing that mark is sin, which is also unrighteousness, or lawlessness. (Rom. 3:23; 1 John 5:17; 3:4) Sin is anything not in harmony with God’s personality, standards, ways, and will, all of which are holy. It may involve wrong conduct, failure to do what should be done, ungodly speech, unclean thoughts, or desires or motives that are selfish. The Bible differentiates between inherited sin and willful sin, between an act of sin over which a person is repentant and the practice of sin.

We are born into sin, because our first parents were. Same thing that a dented pan will produce the same shaped pancake when you cook on it.

Answer 4

No, and you just proved it. God doesn't get things wrong. But the nature of sin in us thinks it can see better than God. It tells us that there is nothing wrong in anything that we do.

Answer 5

I think a lot religious people still believe in original sin. That we all have the ability to go wrong because of the actions of Adam and Eve. I think that in Truth God gave mankind the ability of freedom of thought and choice. We can choose to be good / bad. Maybe god is just using us an experiemnt of trial and error to see whether people do good things or bad...lol who knows mate!

Answer 6

We are sinful if we don't follow the rules set forth by God. However, I think with the changings of the world in general, God can understand our faults. There are nonetheless some unforgivable sins.

Answer 7

No, we have...at least the scholars who translated it did. Sin is an archery term meaning you didn't quite hit the mark. So it was the closest word to translate the meaning into English.
And when you thnk about it in those terms, none of us is perfect.

Answer 10

When Jehovah made the earth and placed man upon it, he appointed his spirit creature who became Satan as overlord of earth including Man. It was the duty of this spirit creature to obey God and to render aid to man in learning of the unseen things of God's universe, This spirit creature became ambitious to control the human race, and to have them worship him, therefore he became a trator to God, he rebelled against Jehovah's Law and induced other spirit creatures to join him in that rebellion he also caused man to join in that rebellion and turn against Jehovah. Prior to that time God had told Adam that a violation of God's Law would result in mans death. Adam having willingly violated God's Law, and having joined Satan in his rebellion against God, man was sentenced to death, God had provided man with the power to produce his own kind that is to say to bring Children into existance. This power, man did not exercise while he was perfect for that he was sentenced to death and before he died his children were born, for that reason all of them inherited the resulting sentence of death, and hence were born sinners or imperfect, After the rebe3lion Jehovah changed the name of that spirit creature giving him 4 seperate and distinct names each of them having a different meaning Satan meaning oposer of God,Devil meaning slanderer of God. Serpent, meaning deceiver of creatures and Dragon meaning one who tries to devour all who do right at the same timer God sentenced Lucifer now Devil to death, but he did not execute that sentence at that time, A wicked challange was made by Satan to Jehovah, in which Satan claimed that Jehovah could not put man on the earth that would remain true and faithful to him under the test, That challenge involved the Word and the Name of God, and in order that All creation might learn that the power of Jehovah is supreme, and that he is the only source of life and goodness, God accepted the challenge and has permitted Satan to existance, during the many centuries that have gone by, and to have full opportunity to prove his wicked challenge.Had God killed the devil at the beginning of his rebellion the other creatures of the universe would never have had oportunity to determine wether or not man can be true To God under a severe test. Jehovah fixed the time limit during which satan should do what he could to prove his wicked challenge, and at the same time God declared that when that time limit expired he would then execute his judgement of death against satan and destroy with him and all those who willingly put themselves under satan's rule. Satan is not only the oposer of Jehovah but is man's worst enemy, The time limit it takes for satan to carry on his operations is now up, and within a very short time God will, by the hand of Christ Jesus his Chief executive officer fight the devil and his forces at the battle of Armageddon which will be the worst conflict ever known and in that conflict satan and his organization will be destroyed that's the reason why the time is now here where people must have an opportunity to know about Jehovah and his purpose towards them, this afords all an opportunity to take their stand either on the devil's side or Jehovah's side, only those who take Jehovah's side will live. The devil endeavours to entrap every person who takes his stand on Jehovah's side. And would succeed if not prevented by God, it is written the angels of God encampeth aroundabout them that fear him and delivereth them,if one is on Jehovah's side and faithfully serves him, he may have the assurance that God will provide protection for him, no power can sucessfully resist Jehovah. But God does not exercise his power in behalf of anyone except those who dilligently seek to serve him, be assured then that your safety from the devil depends entirely on your faithfulness to God at the present time it is a privelidge to know how you may receive protection, be dilligent therefore to learn the truth that leads to the way of life and happiness!
