The Sin As A Crime And Sickness

Soon after creation humankind fell into sin. Romans 3:23 tells us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Sin is the universal condition of the human race. All people are born with a sinful nature. Sin has many serious consequences for humankind. Sin alienates humankind from God and keeps us from having a relationship with our Creator. Sin provides a sickness that keeps us from becoming the person we should be. People want to live good lives but are forced by sin to fall short. The ultimate consequence of sin can be found in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death.” Having an understanding of the extent and effect of sin is key to developing a worldview. I know I cannot escape the confines of sin. It is my nature as a human being to sin. In his divine wisdom, God also knew that his creation could not keep the original covenant of obedience so he would have to set a new covenant with creation.

In Dante Alighieri's Inferno, punishments are often presented in the form of symbolic retribution. The punishment a sinner receives in hell is proportional to the severity of the sin committed. In this representation, sins are revealed in their true nature, as what they truly are. In the modern world, there are actions that be can observed in others or see in ourselves that would be offensive or in someway be potentially harmful to someone else. For instance, these actions can be so small that may not even give much thought them, for example actions such as gossiping. These sins could be more serious offences, such as not contributing in a group project or even spoiling a movie for someone else. Using the model of symbolic retribution found in the Inferno a better understanding can be gained of sins in the modern world.

The presence of moral evil known as sin in God’s universe is one of the great questions that has puzzled the mind of man. More so, religious communities interpret the concept of sin diversely through its representation throughout diverse sacred texts. Christianity explicitly teaches that sin is bred into adherents through the original sin which has corrupted the world; however Islam takes the view that believers are born free of sin and taking part in sinful behaviour is an act rather than a state of mind. Sin is interpreted by followers through the way leading figures like Jesus are shown teaching about it in various sacred texts. Follower’s attitudes are influenced, and perhaps challenged by these implications. In addition, interpretations

What even is sin? Is it something that you learn just not to do? To some, it may be more like something inside of themselves. Something against a person's own morals. Something that he or she cannot get over or stop thinking about. In The Scarlet Letter, a book written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale committed the biggest sin. This is not only because he had sexual relations with a woman who was already married, but also because he would not confess what he had done. It ate his soul away. He could not escape the guilt.

Sin has become so overlooked by humanity, that the world has taken the Bible and made it a storybook. They have minimized the effect of sin with false beliefs of Jesus forgiving them even when they refuse to repent or to accept Him.

They have not even recognized the need for Jesus who sits beside the Father asking for our

Sin is an act of human nature that requires a person to go against the nature of god.

Practical Application The doctrine of sin has significance through one’s personal life, there Church and, within their community as a whole. Personally, my theology concerning sin is twofold similar to Martin Luther and Dale Moody. Original sin from Adam and Eve is imparted upon all mankind. Therefore, all are condemned without the covering sacrifice that Jesus did for all of us. However, if one has not reached the age of accountability and dies, God in His mercy pardons Original Sin. Furthermore because they have not reached maturity to fully understand there Actual Sin, God in His mercy pardons them for Actual Sin as well. So if one has not reached the age of accountability they are welcomed into the kingdom of God in Heaven.
