I agree. it's both. No human in perfect, therefore every human sins, whether it is big or small sin. However sometimes, our desires take over what is right, so we even choose to sin

Answer 3

If you have a human father you are born into sin. You can choose not to sin, but you will find your self sinning everyday anyway. That is why Jesus had to come down here and die for our sins, cause none of us could be saved of our own accord.

Answer 4

You "sin" because you belong to a religion that tells you what to do and think, you choose to sin because you are human and display freewill from time to time.

Answer 5

I don't know. I thought on this, and now that humans are who we are, free will and the choices we make - we live much differently than 8000 years ago or more did.
Our choices are much more in pleasure arena and not so much find food, find selter type life ya know.
Human communities have posted the norms to follow - so to not follow them is to sin.

Hmm, sorry I still can't figure out what to say.

Answer 6

It's a misconception that sinning is an abomination to God. "To sin" was originally translated to "to make mistakes"

That is our job here on earth. Not just to make mistakes but to learn from them. It is how our spirits evolve.

Original sin is pure crap. God wasn't angry that Adam and Eve chose to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. He was sad that they had chosen to experience hardship and misery, but he did not stop them from their choice because all soul's are given free will. It's the greatest
gift God gave us.

In the bible when he says, "you will toil the earth and have pain in childbirth...etc" He was not condeming them to torment for disobeying him. He was pained that his beloved creations were about to experience those things by their own choice. He was filling them in on what they signed up for.

The expulsion from paradise was symbolism for their souls being born into a life on earth, which is the only place they could gain knowledge of Good and Evil. There's no evil in paradise.

Nothing is outside of God's knowledge. All that you do, are going to do and have done is well documented in heaven. So plainly, God knows every "sin" you have committed and sins you havent even thought of yet. His enternal love for us guarantees that he is not angry. (Anger is a human trait and has no place in the perfect nature of God) We dont even need to ask forgiveness, we are already forgiven. We need to forgive ourselves more often than beg God for his.

Answer 7

Being human is not an excuse to sin, but being human is a proclivity to sin. Sin is always a choice.

Answer 8

We are born to sin naturally. It is the most socially correct thing you can do these days. Sin is in baby!

Answer 9

Adam had a choice! but just as Job said of himself "In sin did my mother conceive me" this was not an insult to his mother but a recognition that he was a sinner at conception. We are all stillborn, as it were, "dead in trespasses and sin".

You sin because it is our nature to sin. A sinner sins and that's what he does best, even when he is doing his best to do his best he sins because to love God with all your heart mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself truly is an impossibility for man.

When Peter asked Jesus in Mt. 19 "Who then can be saved?" Jesus answer was, "With men this is impossible but with God all things are possible"

God saves us through this Man, Jesus the Christ of God for He (Jesus) is God.

Anyway: YOU SIN BECAUSE YOUR A SINNER and not the other way around that is you are not a sinner because you sin.

Also for the Christian who is made the righteousness of God in Christ. He is Righteous because Christ is righteous. That is to say the Christian is righteous apart from "doing" righteousness, for he who is righteous by faith is truly righteous.

Answer 10

To sin is to make a mistake. Humans make mistakes and that is how we learn. Someone doesn't want us to learn. Mistakes. An impossible religion asks impossible things.
