Hello Notch, thanks for responding.

"Sorry, that was a nothing burger.

It's not our fault that we sin. We were crated as flawed beings. Sin entered the world when God created humans. That we sin is not our fault. Easy as that."

It is indeed our fault when we sin.

Why?

Because we choose to.

Simple as that.

God isn't responsible for the choices we make.

God is responsible for giving us the ability to choose. That's a good gift. It's a good thing to give us minds, intellects, wills.

We are responsible for how we use them.

You said:

"Then God punished all of flawed mankind...for being flawed. That's not what a loving, just, and omnipotent God would do. And that's the fundamental reason the Christian Bible story makes zero sense."

God doesn't punish us for being flawed. Far from it!

The message of the Bible from beginning to end is GOD RESCUING US FROM SIN.

It's why God stays with Adam and Eve and their children, instead of abandoning them.

It's why God provides an entire Law helping us to make the right choices, to love each other instead of hating.

It's why Jesus took on flesh and died for us, to forgive us and remove the punishment we deserved for the choices we made.

God creates Eden, a paradise where He can be with His children.

At the end of the Bible, God restores Earth to a place where He can dwell with His children again.

That's the entire mission of God in the Bible: rescuing everyone from sin who is willing to be rescued.

Look at Jesus on the Cross! Is He dying there to save you or to condemn you?
