The Concept of Sin on the Axis of Ethics

Abstract

Humankind has two major conceptions in his world: good and evil, right and wrong, righteousness and sinfulness. This dichotomy is the result of man's freedom; for, if he lacked freedom, he would not have one of these dichotomies and become content only with the other. Sin, being the common name for violating religious commands and prohibitions, and disobeying the will of the Creator, is one of these opposite binaries. Man is sent to this world for being tested. Sin is required in this test in order the expected result to emerge. The absence of sins is the absence of the possibility/right that man might/could lose the test.
