Eve Listen To The Serpent Analysis

When people face sufferings or experience disasters, one of the reasons people try to explain and make sense of all the problems is sin. Everyone is a sinner because we are the descendants of Adam. The original sin is inherited in our genes and continues from generation to generation. The sin separates us from God’s absolute protection in the Garden of Eden, and forces us to merge in the chaotic nature outside of it.

Same thing happens in the biblical interpretations of sin or other doctrines. It is not the different interpretations of the Bible cause trouble, but people’s negative attitudes towards each other cause the trouble. Sin is the wrong choice people made without divine guidance. How do we know that whether a choice is made in divine guidance or not? Will the choice become

Though I do not agree with his logic about the connections between radical love, cross boundaries, and sin, I do think that the choice of rejection causes wound and suffering to others which is not a choice out of love. It is not for sinners (as all of us are) to make judgements on other people and determine they sin or not. But sin is a wrong choice made by people which has clear negative results (wounds, suffering). Love is not the opposite of sin, it is the remedy from God for people be save from
