Sin is not always bad.

[JoeyArnold]

Sin means we're not perfect & that we got to have some Christ in our lives or we'll spoil it. Spoiler alert. Sin is not always bad & sin can sometimes be good but sin is never what's best for our lives.

I'm not sure I follow the logic. Properly viewed, "sin" is the absence or diminution of good; therefore, how can sin be "good" if it is, in fact, the annihilation of good?

 

[JoeyArnold]

Sin is the absence or diminution of good

Sin is absence of good or the absence of what is best?

 

[rogueapologist]

Sin is absence of good or the absence of what is best?

Good is best.

 

[JoeyArnold]

Good is best.

what kind of good is best?

 

[rogueapologist]

That which is of God...and which, incidentally, is the only kind.

is the world cursed?

What do you mean by "cursed"? Whenever I hear that word, I think about Lord Voldemort

are humans perfect?

 

[holyrokker]

People are not the standard of what is good. So whether or not any person is perfect has no bearing on what is good or bad.

Sin is always something that alienates humanity from God. There can never be anything good about that.

Depends...what do you mean by "perfect?"

You should give an example, rather than rely on hypotheticals.

Also, sin is separation from God, as is noted in more than a few places in the Bible. Separation from God is not a good thing. Biblically, I don't think your argument can stand up.

Was Cain's offering good?

Simply asking questions is also not helping make your case.

As for your question, you need to address it yourself if you're actually trying to make a sound argument.

was cain's offering evil?

Again, if you're trying to make an argument, start making an argument. So far you've offered nothing to your own defense, and no, questions alone haven't helped you in the slightest.

How about you answer you own questions first, and we can pick from there?

 

[JoeyArnold]

Again, if you're trying to make an argument......

Are you confused between arguments & questions? I'm asking if Cain's offering was bad or good?

God hates sin. Are you saying God should chill out and not take sin so seriously?

Let's see. In your opening post you made an argument. Now, why don't you try to defend that argument?

 

[JoeyArnold]

God hates sin.

how broad, wide, generic, and big is your definition of sin?
