Sin

[Lightkeeper]

Is sin a manmade concept?

[cardero]

Sin is indeed a man-made concept and just may be the word that people use when they cannot remember the word accountability.

But Mr C, are you looking at it from a religious view, or a general one?

The original sin was, man did not believe God. And who was to punish
Adam and Eve for their sin? Who punished the serpent for it's doing?
God. If this was not sin, then why did God punish them? Spite?
Disobeying God's commandments is sin.

Isn't Original Sin a doctrine created by Christianity and imposed upon Jewish scriptures, (fill me in there Jewscout)

[Jewscout]

Original sin is something they early church came up w/
Judaism accepts the idea of an original or first sin but not in the same context, it does not haunt us like the early church docterine says it does...

Sin is something man made indeed, but because it is what takes us away from being more holy, more G-dlike. But it is not something that can not be fixed!

Sin is a creation of man.

(but i suppose something has to keep the god fearing herd members back to church every sunday....)

[Galamount]

Sin is created by man, yes. Man that believes in God.

Sin only exhists on your mind though.
God doesn't condemn people to hell. People condemn themselves to hell

Well, I believe right from wrong isn't made up. I define right from wrong based on rights. Thou shalt not violate the rights of others is my own personal commandment.
