Why sin? Sin, is perhaps, the hardest truth for mortal man to accept. Sin is problematic not

only because of its hideousness, but because of its application. Sin is a very real part of our

present condition. We cannot fully appreciate the scope of sin’s permeation into our makeup,

nor can we fully comprehend what life will be like without it. Yet, why would a good God

permit the entrance of sin into a perfect universe? This question has puzzled thoughtful

people for centuries. There is no truly adequate answer. Man does not have the capability of

answering the question because of his finiteness and sin. Furthermore, the Bible is silent.
