I believe that most "sins" are the product of human control and construction, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think there are some "sins" that are ridiculous, but from a christian perspective, I wonder why god would even care? If it is so powerful, why wouldn't it go and create a more perfect universe without sin?

A nun told me a good example when I was a kid. She said, (and I'm paraphrasing) "As His children, he should want us all to get along and be good people."
You want your kids to be good people, right? Sure, they won't be perfect, but you want them to do their best.

Human construction and control isn't bad, but sin definitely is. God could create another universe, but that's irrelevant. He's created this one. God created us to have a relationship with Him, and our sin hinders us from doing so. If we sin, God can't associate with us bc He's holy and if we were to try to stand in the presence of His glory we'd die. So, bc God wants us to be with Him, He commands us not to sin so that we will be holy and can be with Him, otherwise we'll be separated from Him forever in hell.

I believe God loves us. Like with your children - when you love them you care about how they live.
Sin in the Bible really just means mistakes and wrongful acts. We all have done them, some worse than others.

Then the element of God controlling everything comes into play. God didnt create us to have us robots. It created us with the full knowledge that it can either accept it or reject it, the choice is yours. What stronger a God than one who allows its creations to choose their fate. God wanted something to love it back, what greater being than one who creates something that gives us that choice?

Sin in its most basic definition is anything contrary to the desire of the Lord.
Therefore, all sins are despicable to the Lord.

Wasn't the world "without sin" before? Genesis is a good start.

Interesting questions.
God cares because He created us and loves us. In the same way that I love my children, we want the best for them.
Satan actually wantyed us to be forced whereas the Lord wants us to have free agency to choose for ourselves.
Thank goodness someone cares!

WHOSE Christian standpoint?
The BIBLE says that the wages of sin is death/
I think it means death to you mentally, physically, and ESPECIALLY spiritually--when you don't OBEY God.
He tries to tell us how to have the happiest, most peaceful, most joyful life in the Bible.
WHO wouldn't want that? I DO!
GOD is my everything!!
I try my best to do my best--He lets me know He loves me--and I KNOW He loves my TRYING to do my best!

god loves all of us and he fears that we sin so much that we won't care about him anymore.
