That particular idea isn't from The Sickness Unto Death, that's more in Fear and Trembling. The emphasis in the sickness unto death is sin and existential terror.

It literally means "missing the mark". There isn't a list of sins, there isn't a rule for what is and isn't sin. Sin isn't something that is "created" per se, it refers to man's failure. OUR failure. Not God's.Are not the Ten Commandments considered rules?Sin predates the ten commandments. If you look back, God's first commandment was not to eat from the Tree. This commandment did not create sin in and of itself. Rather, it was Adam and Eve's act of eating from the tree, failing to follow the commandment, that created sin.

God created sin.
Quote from: Mad Max on March 02, 2016, 02:44:43 PMYou're confirming my argument. God created the rules for what is or is not sinful. Refusing to follow God's rules is sinful.Sin did not conceptually exist until Man created it. Sin wasn't a *thing* until it first appeared. Sin still isn't a thing so much as a way to describe failing to do a thing.

If you believe in God do you believe in free will too?
