Well, here is some good news - refreshing news actually. The good news is that there is no sin. Sin is a false concept, a concept that creates fear; a concept that makes us pray out of fear rather than faith. All human beings in this world are born, but none of us are born perfect. The purpose of this life is to evolve to be perfect and not to be perfect at birth. If we were born perfect we need not have been born at all, because the purpose of coming into this world of samsara, is to realize God - to become perfect, to become a part of the Perfect, the Master, the Creator. So, in reality there is no sin. Sin is a false concept. We should rather consider what we call sins as mistakes, errors or lessons of life. Every time we make a mistake, it is a little lesson that we learn. When a small child tries to take his first steps, he stumbles and falls. What do we do? Do we slap him, beat him up or do we clap to encourage the child? Of course, we encourage the child and show appreciation. We do this for a child as he is growing up but the moment he is all grown up, every mistake that he makes is condemned, criticized, punished and he is told that he is a sinner. This needs to be stopped. Sin is a wrong belief. We all make mistakes and we must all evolve, learn improve, introspect and progress on this journey of life. We must evolve to find out who we truly are, where we have come from and where we are going. At each step of this journey called life, we will make mistakes, we will commit what are called sins but remember, they are not sins, they are just lessons. So we must stop using the word sin and instead, say lesson.
