Nature of Sin

This talks a little about the google docs we had to fill in last week. When I talk about two examples, I'm talking about the two examples on there about the differences and similarities between Adam and Kayin.

Man is drawn to sin. It’s not always something he can help. When he does sin however, it’s his job to admit what he did rather than run from it, as it seems to be the human instinct to do, judging from these two examples. According to these examples, HaShem will not always say straight out that they sinned. He gives them a chance to lie or to tell the truth. In Adam’s case HaShem asked how they knew they were naked. In Kayin’s case He asked where is your brother. In both cases they had the option to tell the truth and take responsibility, but they chose not to. They needed to stand up, tell the truth, and accept their punishment or it would be worse for them in the long run.
