Hagbard Celine said:If God made the system, why are the things that God has deemed "sins" sins? It's because God arbitrarily decided what the sins are. In other words, what is "good" or godly in our reality is only "good" because God deemed it so.
No, you aren't following. Like I said, god didn't deem or declare anything. There was no consideration, there was no internal debate. He didn't make a list.
Sin is sin by it's very nature.
God is infallible and perfectly good. He can point at anything and say 'sin'
or 'not sin', not as an arbitrary itemization, not just because he said so, but because of his inherent perfection.
The basis of his own perfection.So what basis of comparison would God have used to declare certain acts in the reality he created good or bad?
There was good, because god is good.It would have been arbitrary because there was no good or evil before God created reality.
