Showing a misunderstanding of the concept of sin and the concept of the Christian God. Next?

---

Then show me the true concept of sin then. You said sin entered the world. Where did it come from?

It's a turn of phrase, much like "the four corners of the earth" or "the sunset." The earth does not have four literal corners, the sun does not literally set, and sin did not literally enter.

43"You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.'

44"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46"For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

47"If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

48"Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
