Let's Talk About Sin.

Let’s talk about sin, According to the bible all of us have sinned.In fact, the bible leads us to believe that we are born into to sin because of Adams transgression and are therefore in need of a saviour.

The Apostle Paul seems to believe that we were not even aware of the concept of sin, nor accused of sin, until the Law of Moses was introduced. Laws given to him by God. In fact, we would not even be aware of the concept of good and evil had it not been for God introducing the concept via a tree and pointing it out to Adam and telling him not to eat of the fruit of the tree.It is interesting to note that Adam has barely been formed and God is already using death as a means of motivating Adam to obey him.

Why put the tree in Eden to begin with? Why even create the tree period? What motivated God to make Adam aware of the tree? Yet he did and he made sure Adam was aware of it.

Frankly this feels like a set up to me, in a manner of speaking it was entrapment. God allowed the serpent to not only enter the garden but to trick Eve in to doing something she might have not even considered doing at all.

According to an article at Christianty.com: God knows all things past, present, and future. There is no limit to His knowledge, for God knows everything completely before it even happens .

God can do all things and accomplish all things. Nothing is too difficult for Him, and He orchestrates and determines everything that is going to happen in your life, in my life, in America, and throughout the world. Whatever He wants to do in the universe, He does, for nothing is impossible with Him

Thus it seems that God knew Man would fall, he knew the serpent would trick them, he knew man would become aware of good and evil. In fact according to that same article, God is in control of all things and rules over all things. He has power and authority over nature, earthly kings, history, angels, and demons. Even Satan himself has to ask God’s permission before he can act.

He made it possible for them to fall. He did nothing to prevent the fall, he stood by and watched, listened as the serpent deceived, tricked, and beguiled Eve into eating of the tree. Then, in a fit of pique, kicked them out of Eden, cursed the serpent, cursed Eve(and thus all women) and made Adam responsible for the downfall of all humankind. In fact some believe that “God has thought fit to allow evil to exist in order that he may have a platform for showing his mercy, grace, and compassion” ( See The Fall)

So now every human is automatically a ‘sinner’ (See Original Sin , Total Depravity) we don’t have a choice in the matter. God decided to make sure we needed to be ‘saved’, just so He could show us how wonderful and great he was. He has set up so that, by default, we have to be ‘reconciled’ to him or die.

To me that is like being born with blue eyes, then getting arrested, because blue eyes are illegal, and given the ‘option’ to have your eye color changed or be put to death. Really?? I didn’t choose to have blue eyes so why am I being threatened with death because of what some blue eyed malcontent did thousands of years ago?

In conclusion,,according to the bible, God chose to introduce “sin” and the concept of good and evil to the human race.God created Adam, God created the serpent, God created Eden, God created the tree of knowledge, God put everything and everyone in just the right place at just the right time all to serve his own purpose and design. God is the ultimate narcissist, he simply was not content with his daily fellowship with his creation so he allowed Satan via the serpent to corrupt that creation so He(God) could swoop in and rescue us from a situation of his own make and design.
