The Concept Of Sinner By Nature Is Not From God

Genesis 1:31 " God created man and saw that it was good " So where did idea that man is created flawed come from .This limited belief came from Saint Augustine it was created so people would never question authority .It was created so when the leaders in society did something that was questionable that limiting belief would be in people that they couldn't stand up to the leaders and demand change cause they were miserable sinners. As we see outplayed in todays world with the church and child abuse where the people do not stand up and demand accountability of the leaders of this institution . Saying people are sinners by nature is saying we were created flawed that the Creator of everything could have made a mistake . God created the universe with free will what is the purpose of that ? It is so we can out play anything we desire and see the results of it . Do you want more of this or more of that . Like the parable of the prodigal son ,but we can always come back to God and all is forgiven . We always have a choice to do better whereby the sin is forgiven . The prince of this world wants you to believe you are a miserable sinner so you don't question those in authority by putting this subtle belief in everyone's programming . You don't speak out when they do something clearly wrong cause " Well yes that was wrong , but see I am a miserable sinner too so don't say anything " Its time the churches question this idea and go back look at where it came from and its real purpose .
