Question:
Christians: If God created everything, did he create SIN also?

Everything in the universe comes from god because he was first and he was the creator or everything. So the concept of "sin" couldn't just appear out of nowhere without god's knowledge (He knows everything). Does that mean that he created sin or that he allowed sin to come to the world? How could man sin without god knowing or god permitting?

That's their old flawed way of dealing with the problem of evil. Attributing negative things to "free-will." With statements like "If God stopped that evil, we wouldn't have free-will." But "free-will" really only requires a brain capable of preconceiving more than one direction of action. Many believers attempt to avoid the fact that a good god could reduce suffering drastically while barely restricting us at all, and certainly wouldn't restrict us enough to only have one conceivable direction of action. In fact reducing negative states of affairs would open up many new directions of action(less restricted will), especially for those who would have otherwise been crippled by some negative state of affairs.

I suppose God created devil who provokes humans to sin or leave out the mark of perfection. In this regard he's in charge for sin. He also created humans who sin or pass over the mark of perfection. Man is made in God's photo. It is illogical to take a look at to create good judgment out of any of this. How would we all know? Jesus said earlier than Abraham was, i'm . We learn somewhere else that Jesus learned obedience by the matters he suffered. Why would Jesus need to be taught obedience through struggling ? The son of god have to learn to obey his Father and he used to be referred to as the first of many brethren. Christians are referred to as little Christs. Some of these questions focus on premises which can be precise to your thought of the Christian God. Is sin a foul thing? Now not if it brings in regards to the recognition that God should be obeyed. Don't forget she who's forgiven much, loves( God) much? So somehow the potential to decide upon to miss the mark is competent of frightening greater love for the father or God. Who would any trainer have got to supply a test on any field? How will we teach our own youngsters as they develop? You let them make errors so they're positive in making a choice on accurately at some point as they grow into young adults. You would not supply the identical freedom to a infant who might attain and contact a scorching stove. It is presumption to say that God is incapable of creating exactly what he needs for the reason that you don't realise the reasoning or see good judgment behind it. Individuals are lunatics.Some are fairly hazardous lunatics. The place is the logic in growing that? Religion isn't common sense. It is religion. We go go off on an inane discussion about why the manufacturers of Jones soda selected to make use of graphics and why on account that no images on the bottle quite often do not have effected product sales. Weren't they silly to move to all that problem? Well, we don't know really if the pics add to the marketing value. There's no approach to study this or participate in the research. The identical is true of this question. What number of angels can dance on the head of a pinhead? I guess we will by no means rather understand.

Well, according to Christians, no He didn't.



However, let's think about this.



Before He created the world and Heaven, He knew that sin would break out and people would turn from God.



If He never created the world, sin wouldn't exist.



Technically, He did.

God has permitted sin, just as he permitted Satan to be alive until judgement day and to be able to persuade Adam and his sons to commit sins towards Him.

He allowed it. He wanted us to have a choice and because Adam and Eve ate the apple, we now have sin. If we didn't have a choice, then we would just be robots. Then because he sent his son to die on the cross, we now have the choice to renew ourselves. Meaning, we don't have to die in sin. We just need to repent and believe and we are saved. Simple as that.

According to the Old Testament God created the darkness and the light, good and evil. Isaiah 45:7.



That's what it says.



Personally People create evil. Nature and animals typically are not good or evil. Humans are inherently neither good not evil; but humans have intellect and free will so every person is capable of great good or great evil.



Furthermore, good and evil are relative. What is good and evil in one society can be the complete polar opposite in another society.



Many nihilists will argue that all good and all evil is relative to labels humans place on things, persons or ideas.

Did Adam and Eve sin when they were in the Garden of Eden. NO



Not until Lucifer came and tempted Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit. Lucifer also come to us and he temps us also to sin in many ways. that are displeasing unto our heavenly Father.



God says that he cannot look upon sin in the least degree so no, sin come from the devil to temp the people of this world.

yes its true after all life would not be a challenge with no challenges. what would be the point after all that was the devils plan to force people to everything so there would be no sin.

God is good. Sin is the absence of God like darkness is the absence of light.

Sin is the rejection of God.

You answered your own question ......permitting is not creating.

Tolerating is not approving.
