Can I or you sin, if the following is true?

Here is a couplet in response

There is no right or wrong, nor perfect, imperfect

All there is, my dear, is just the cause and effect.

It does not matter whether the opinion is steered by a creator or religion or belief, if we or anything was created "perfectly or without flaw" then it should state that there was an opposite of perfect in which perfect was based upon. For some of the other answers, if there was temptation, well that means that temptation grew within the creator making the creator imperfect, so on, so on, and so on.

You can look at it as cause and effect or even simply balance.

Define Sin...

Ones Religion is their road to Father/Mother God

and there are many roads/Religions all leading to God...

It's you who 'Doesn't Get It" and clearly missed the point...

We are "Perfect" in our "Imperfection"

purposely created with flaws only while we inhabit a Body.

As You say:

"A creator would create something exactly the way they want to,

and if I was without flaw, then everything I make would be without flaw."

(Are You sure this is How God Wants To make us? Perfect? - Boring)

How do you know God only wants to make "Perfection" as you define it.

This type of thinking comes from Ignorance, it is Arrogant, A$$umtive and

Pure Conjecture...

We are Spiritual Beings Having a Physical Experience

The Physical Realm is but Boot Camp For The Soul

Sin is being 'Un God Like" which is being unkind etc...

and God want us to choose Hence 'Free Will' which way

we want to Live our Earthly Life do we choose to be GodLike or not...

***Some ask Where is God when horrible things happen?

Father/Mother God is watching as any Parent does will baited breath

as their children learn their lessons the hard way...not interfering because

as Spirits we asked God NOT to interfere with the

Tragedies and Catastrophes in the Physical Realm which may come

unless specifically asked to do so because their were lessons which

would outweigh the cost...

the Only beings who can intervene without permission

are Angels and Spirit Guides and they do so sparingly.

Perfection is contingent... Contingent means something can exist but it does not have to exist (ie. everything we know is contingent) Meaning nothing in the know universe can be perfect. For example; the tallest tower in the world was once the Empire State Building, it is no longer the tallest because someone built a taller tower. Just like building something bigger, you can always add to perfect in our experience of reality. Who is to say what is perfect, we are just saying this through our own experience of reality, what if we're wrong? As for God's perfection? God is not contingent.

EDIT; That's what I'm saying exactly, you can't have perfection in a contingent reality, however if God is NOT contingent he can be perfect... Look up the ontological arguments, particularly Descartes's.

Contingent

adjective

1. dependent for existence, occurrence, character, etc., on something not yet certain; conditional (often followed by on or upon): Our plans are contingent on the weather.

2. liable to happen or not; uncertain; possible: They had to plan for contingent expenses.

3. happening by chance or without known cause; fortuitous; accidental: contingent occurrences.

Yes, I agree, everything is perfectly what it is and the way it should be. However, from the perspective of ego consciousness this is not the case. Because almost everyone identifies with the ego as the 'self' and basically relies on perception to discern Truth and Reality, our point of view comes from imperfection. Until we transcend the material mind and the ego we cannot realize the Reality of the Perfection of God, which is omnipresent, i.e., all things seen and unseen.

Both Jesus and the Buddha taught that 'sin' is another word for ignorance, which the ego is the source of. Because we falsely identify with what we are NOT, we are subject to suffering, ignorance and sin. The Buddha taught the way to Enlightenment, which is Transcendence of the ego and the material world, and Jesus taught the way to Heaven through Salvation, which is perfection of the ego, and more attainable for mankind.

It is not poossible to 'sin' against God, but rather we sin against ourselves. This is the concept of karma. The Buddha said that we are not punished for our sins, but are punished by them. Matthew 7:2 says, "The measure you use to measure others will be used to measure you. And the judgment you pass on others will be used to judge you." This is the very same idea that is taught in the East, and why it is essential to do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.

God created us perfect, flawless and with the ability to live forever. However, the eating of the fruit, in the garden of eden, brought sin and death to us all. God commanded adam and eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad. Them eating this fruit was telling Jehovah God that they did not need his rulership in their lives. Ever since then, God allowed man to try to prove they

Could rule themselves. What a failure man has been. Soon, God's righteous government will rule the entire planet and bring man back to perfection, through Jesus' ranson sacrifice!

If we are so perfect why do you omit the o in God? A God...the God Your God... GOD...just say what you mean...sin is doing what y-u kn-w is wr-ng!
