I would say it is based on love of 'self'.The failure to love is a complicated human phenomenon.
So the entire Bible was based on Buddhism?a very Buddhist viewpoint.
I think it's not necessarily that simple. Especially when one's sense of self has been malformed in the first place.
One of the consequences of the fall is that a healthy "self," in relation to God and others, is not at all a given.

"link" ..... relationship with God .... sure. The will of God is that we overcome sin ..... Jesus helps us to do that when we have an ongoing relationship with Him.Christians link themselves to God.
Do you seek God, or the will of God ?
Sin being what?The will of God is that we overcome sin ....
Jus what HIs Word says .... sin is transgression of the law.Sin being what?
Sin existed before the law. Re-define pleaseJus what HIs Word says .... sin is transgression of the law.
From beginning with Eve to end... where all through God says put my will ahead of yours. The entire Bible is an example of what happens when man tries to run the show.Roughly none of it. Where in the Bible did you find "self is the downfall of man and creates all our woes?
Can you seek God without following His Will? Is this not akin to to someone entering His presence by another way? (John 10:1)Because some people only seek God but have no concept of following His will over our own.
You can seek God anyway you want but it doesn't mean upon finding Him you will obey. People and church often use God to justify their own existence without doing His will. Many profit wildly following the self interest will of man. Some even act in the ways of the secular governments of man using God to justify their power grabs. They know He is there but don't follow, just as many talk about Jesus but ignore His Gospel of the Kingdom.Can you seek God without following His Will?
Do not both lead to the same place.. the Kingdom/governance of God?Another question to consider is: are you seeking God (who may be impersonal) over Jesus (who is eminently personal)?
The body of Christ can’t even agree what the will of God is so how can they follow it. I see that all the time on these forums. Even when it’s spelled out in black and white, for example scripture says it’s Gods will that none should parish, but man makes up all kinds of ways to say that it’s not really Gods will because they know what his will is.Because some people only seek God but have no concept of following His will over our own.
Probably due to the fact if they looked to what God's will isn't, they'd have to look at themselves to understand His will is opposite to ours which is based on self (interest, justification, centeredness, serving, determination, etc.)The body of Christ can’t even agree what the will of God is so how can they follow it.
Law has always been ..... the first sin was committed by lucifer and the 1/3 angels in heaven.Sin existed before the law. Re-define please
