Thanks for sharing the scripture to back up your position. However I still do not understand how God did not create sin because nothing that exists does so that He did not create. Can this be something that the logical mind can actually understand or is this something that falls into the category of believing by faith only?
this created sin
“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.”
Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Genesis 3:4-6
you then from thier first born son see the entrance of sin into the world
“And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and
if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”
Genesis 4:6-7
remember man was created in Gods image and given dominion over all the earth ? Man created sin by transgressing what sin is rooted in is the conflict between good and evil now it has gotten into man Cain was approached by sin outside of him ot was seeking to overcome man at that point and it did now we’re stuck here in the snare the knowledge of good and evil caused this
“I find then a law, that,
when I would do good, evil is present with me.
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and
bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.”
Romans 7:21, 23 KJV
it has infiltrated us changed us from what God created us for very good creations into those who are conflicted by good and evil within our hearts and minds and bodies.
man created sin , God gave us freedom And dominion and Satan exploited it to create the great divide between God and man so he could rule for a time on earth
through mans evil inclinations
God created mankind , mankind then created sin through transgression and brought death to Man
“Wherefore, as
by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Romans 5:12 KJV
( that’s why we need Christs passover)
the law came about 1500 years or more afterwards to reveal to Man thier sin and impute it upon man
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
because we knew both good and evil we became ignorant of good without evil ( holiness) the image of God
sin began with Adam but the law didn’t come until much later as a response to sin it wasn’t imputed before the law so Cain wasn’t killed for his sin , Abraham wasn’t credited with his lies ect because where there was no law , sin cannot be imputed
“(For until the law sin was in the world: but
sin is not imputed when there is no law.”
Romans 5:13 KJV
The law came to expose sin To mankind and impute it to us to prepare the world for repentance and remission of sins through Christ the only way of salvstion because all are plagued with the curse we created of sin and subsequent death
Gods work has always been to keep us from sin and death but being made free , and not slaves …..we keep transgressing his word of life like adam
And Eve did , like Cain did , like israel did , like men continue to do because we won’t accept the circumcision of Christ that does this
“Know ye not, that
so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even
so we also should walk in newness of life.
Knowing this, that
our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
For
he that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.”
Romans 6:3-4, 6-8, 11-12 KJV
It seems impossible until we believe but he is able to end sins dominion in us and over us not only take the punishment for our sins but free us from it so we can walk upright through faith created by the gospel
