上帝为什么不直接造不会犯罪的人?

Why didn't God simply create people who can't sin?

简答 Short Answer

不能犯罪的「人」只是机器人。真正的爱和敬拜必须出于自由选择,上帝看重的是甘心乐意的顺服,而非程序化的服从。

A 'person' who can't sin is just a robot. Genuine love and worship require free choice. God values willing obedience, not programmed compliance.

详细解答 Detailed Answer

想象你造了一个机器人,编程让它每天对你说「我爱你」。那句话会感动你吗?当然不会——因为它没有选择,那不是真正的爱。

上帝完全有能力造出不会犯罪的生物——事实上祂造了,那叫石头。但上帝要的不是石头的沉默服从,而是有灵性的人甘心乐意地选择祂、爱祂。

上帝照着自己的形象造人,赋予人自由意志。这意味着人可以选择顺服,也可以选择悖逆。正是因为有拒绝的可能,接受才有意义;正是因为有犯罪的可能,圣洁才显得宝贵。

如今无数信徒在试探和困难中仍然选择跟随基督,这使上帝的心得到极大的满足和荣耀。这份真实的爱和忠诚,远胜过一万个机器人的「服从」。

Imagine building a robot programmed to say 'I love you' every day. Would those words move you? Of course not — without choice, it's not real love.

God could easily create beings incapable of sin — in fact He did. They're called rocks. But God doesn't want the silent compliance of stones. He wants beings with spirits who freely choose to love Him.

God made humans in His own image with free will. This means we can choose obedience or rebellion. It's precisely because rejection is possible that acceptance becomes meaningful; because sin is possible that holiness becomes precious.

Today, countless believers choose to follow Christ through temptation and hardship, bringing God immense satisfaction and glory. This genuine love and loyalty far surpasses the 'obedience' of ten thousand robots.
