If a god existed, and was incapable of 'sin', then how could he create sinful humans? Wouldn't that be a sin?

Answer 1

No. God gave humans free will. We have the intent to sin.

Answer 2

The ultimate creator is neutral.

A benevolent deity by definition could not be omnipotent though it might claim to be; it might even believe that he is.

Judaism's "mono-theism" grew out of the Zoroastrian concept of a neutral uninvolved creator with 2 balanced (good, evil) deities below it.
Though the priests contemplated the entire system, there was no reason for the common people to worry about a powerful evil deity nor a neutral creator. They were not taught the higher mysteries.

Answer 3

Poor assumption.
If you are talking about the Christers' "god", then He is deemed infinite and therefore encompasses good and evil, right and wrong, piety and sin. His Son (Isa ben Iosef) was an artifact crafted to help Him understand His feeble creation's choices.
But the amount of skull-sweat wasted on this particular fairy tale is truly shameful. All those otherwise bright people gnawing the desicated bones of a worn-out superstition when they could be doing something worthwhile ... it boggles the mind.

Answer 4

god didnot create sinful humans . he created man with the choice to do good and bad and explain to the man why he had to obey god . then he created the woman and when both adam and eve sinned , eve was fooled by the devil but not adam he knew exactly what would happened . he was just afraid to loose eve because he love her so much and she was really beautiful . so men chose to sin by themselves.

Answer 5

It is called Tzimtzum . When G_D created the world he was the only thing that existed so there was no room for anything else. As All was G_D, He had to constrict within Himself to make room for creation. Once he constricted to make room, that in which He created was outside of Him and not a part of Him. As only G_D was perfect, anyhing created outside of Him was not pure and perfect. Hence all outside of Him was not perfect. That is how the Jewish Qabalists explain it.

Answer 6

Is it sin to create the potentiality for sin when it's a necessary part of the greastest good?

Answer 7

We were not sinful originally. Sin literally means to fail to reach ones potential for good (I.E.: to "miss the mark"). So "evil" is simply a failure to reach ones built in potential for good. So sin would be a result of our laziness, not God's will.

But to more directly address your implied question, God apparently has good reasons for allowing evil to exist; since his motives are pure, then he is blameless even though all things, good and bad, ultimately come from him either directly or indirectly.

Answer 8

HE id not create sinful humans...He created humans as perfect sinless and immortal..hhumans chose to sin and therefre became sinful..it was not God's doing...

Answer 9

Maybe it was a sin originally, but now he is free of sin because he killed himself and then came back to life. It's like the reset button on your Nintendo.

Answer 10

He gave everyone the right to have free will. It's up to you what you do with it. You can try to live right or you can act a fool. In the end only you can except responsibility for your actions. Not your neighbor, not your friend, or family member. Only you
