**God's" mistake that is sorry

God didn't create sin, man did. If man was not allowed or capable of sinning , then he would not have free will.

you recognize that this argument has been debunked maximum of circumstances already precise? Even is led to by making use of people. to give up the evil God could could desire to abolish loose will and make us all robots continuously. He would not prefer us to be robots because of the fact we'd be depressing. So he we could us have loose will. @Amy- you could no longer havefree will and sinless life jointly. in actuality that some human beings wil continuously use their loose will for evil. we are in a position to be robots or have sin. we gained't have it the two techniques. you're a style of those that prefer to be waiting to devote any crime you prefer and not pass to detention center.

No. As St. Augustine correctly observes when contemplating the errors of the Manichees in "Confessions", evil isn't a tangible - it doesn't exist in the sense that it has a substance, form, nor does it require some specific enabling or creative act by God in order for us to speak of it.
Evil is simply the absence of good.
"So long therefore as they are, they are good: therefore whatsoever exists, is good. That evil then which I studied, wherever it is, is not any substance. For if it were a substance, it would be good. For either it should be an incorruptible substance, in which case it would be principally good; or it would be a corruptible substance; which unless it were good, could not be corrupted. I perceived therefore, and it became apparent to me that (God) made all things good, nor is there any substance at all which (he) did not make; and for that (he) did not make all things equal, therefore are all things; because each is good, and altogether very good, because our God made all things very good. And to (God) is nothing whatsoever evil." (Confessions, Book VII)

There was no mistake. Life is suppose to be a challenge, with mistakes being made, and corrected. Life would be boring, if their was nothing to work on to make better. One needs to make the effort, to become stronger spiritually, and positive impact this world, and its problems. Life is rough, but it is perfect for bringing out the most in the human spirit, and character. Our religions, need to improve morally, also. They need to update their spiritual ideas, and trainiing techniques, so as to be more effective in this highly technological age we live in. They need to be open to the best and the newest spiritually, from all possible sources.

God's rules. Sin will exist as long as humans have a free will. You have a lot of control how much sin you let into your life, and God forgives your sins if you ask forgiveness and repent.

Yes, it was a big mistake, and God is still trying to figure out how to undo it.
Sending Jesus didn't work. Watch for something else to come along, maybe he'll abolish evil in one grand sweep, and all bad people will suddenly become good.
Me personally, I tend to favor the view that god doesn't exist in the first place.

Wow.
My sin and mistakes made under free will are God's fault?
Goodness, do you not take personal responsibility for anything?

Everthing has to have an opposite, if God is good there has to be the opposite of good, i.e. evil, (sin). We can either try to be good like God and follow His (our makers) instructions, or we can refuse to follow Him and do the opposite of what He tells us in His Word.
It is called free choice. God does not want automatons that act like puppets, because He wants us to love Him as He loves us. Love cannot be forced, we can only truly love if we have the free will to do so, if He forced us to love it would not be genuine love. This choice means that we can also reject God, reject His love, and refuse to love Him in return.

No, God created man perfect, but with free will, and the first man and woman chose to disobey him, thus becoming sinners.

No. Watch the movie Bruce Almighty for a better answer. God created a human with freewill. The human created sin...with the help of Satan. But, you get my drift.
