Whenever it becomes known that a celebrity husband has been unfaithful, the question
that usually arises is “why do men cheat”? We know the story about the woman caught
adultery in John 8:3-11. Jesus tells the scribes and the Pharisees “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her”. He later tells the woman “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore”. Jesus uses the word sin. Should the question then
be “why do people sin”?
 
If people didn’t sin, then the world would practically be perfect, and if the world were perfect then we’d hope for nothing better, no one would care about Heaven, only Earth.
 
Why do people sin?

Because it is easy.

They don’t pray which is not easy.

Just a thought.
 
Why do people sin? Because Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and cursed mankind with original sin. While we are baptized, original sin is remitted, but the temporal effect aren’t. That is why people sin.
 
Because there is pleasure and often times relief in doing so.

Bottom line- it’s easier and far less complicated to do things that suit our own needs for survival at the expense of others.

However, looking out for our own selfish needs all the time would mean chaos reigned supreme. Hence God instituted the law and the commandments.

He also knew that no one would ever live up to all the commands and thus sent his son Jesus to show us the true way. That we truly serve God and one another by grace and not just by the law.
 
Maybe these questions, who is being offended? What solutions are taking place? The world has there own, and the church is ever at odds because the perspectives do not agree on the one God who is offended. The world seems to be offended by goodness and truth and there marriages are a bad result. Some of their solutions might be the new human rights being estabished for gay activity and limits of reproduction of babies.
 
Alot of Christians sin because they go for the immediate goal and not the long-term goal which of course is salvation.
