Does sin help people?

The idea of sin is interesting. The Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints say this. People are progressively becoming gods. This Church teach that Adam's sin in Eden was necessary in order to provide parentage for the spirit children of God, who were ready and waiting for the experience of life on earth.

The Bible teaches this. Humanity is not godlike, but sinful and separated from God.  People can only have a relationship with God through faith in Christ.  Humanity, apart from Christ, is lost.

Romans 5:12-19

 

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.


Romans 6:23

  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Ephesians 2:1

 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

 

 

Ephesians 2:3

 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh  and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.

 

 

John 1:29

 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

 

 

Galatians 3:13

 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”
