Question

Help answer this question below.

The Bible teaches that God is good by nature, but all humans have the free will to turn away from Him and be sinful. By this logic, wouldn't sin be impossible if humans didn't have free will, therefor making human free will the root of all evil?

    Currently it's impossible not to 'sin'. I have no choice in this as I am not perfect in energy, spirit or body, and as I understand it, neither is any one else, so the logic is unfounded.

    Also one would need a very clear description and understanding of what exactly is meant by 'sin'.

    But a nice question and attempt nevertheless.

    • Of course, for your logic to work, you'd also need a definition of "Perfect".

    • “Sin” is any decision whose consequences are incompatible with our ultimate potential as children of God.
