Disobedience is an act of not following any orders, laws or norms of the land. Such violation is a sin and has a corresponding penalty or punishment depending on the degree of the acts of sin committed. Punishment is implemented in order for people to obey for disobeying is really a sin.
Is disobedience really a sin? That is question have to be ponder, to think deeply to derive an exact answer in which no debate is needed between panels.
Going back to the time of our first parents Adam and Eve. God prohibits them to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. They have all the freedom to roam around Eden, to enjoy and use what God has created and to live peacefully without burdens for everything was laid down in front of them without cost and hassles. But since human whose satisfaction and curiosity was not contained, then tempted and disobey God's law, eat the forbidden fruit in paradise, the cause of being thrown out of Eden.
That fruit is the key of the magic box that open their hidden knowledge and wisdom, and make them aware of their present condition of being naked and lead them to be creative, to be resourceful of what to cover up and protect their selves. There was no more innocence of their being since they begin to be aware of their biological needs, as what the normal, natural human do, a perfect creation of God, with mind, body and soul. Thus, the creation of mankind begin. If they have not violated of what had been prohibited by God, where are we now. Does all human kind around the globe exist?
Disobedience is the root cause why the world is full with all kinds of human. The fruit that give knowledge is the reason why the world is full of man made creations, the creation of God which was then ordinary and primitive like in Eden was then modernized and enhance to human advantage. People then have to use his physical strength to survive thus, makes him innovative, to make the useless to be useful. Man's inherent talent and ability developed everyday that we are now living in a high technology, in which we could not live without gadgets and connections.
If our first parents did not eat the fruit of knowledge, did not disobey God's prohibition, then the world would still be lonely, will not improve, Adam and Eve still using the crude way of life. Of course they won't complain because their knowledge was not open, they do not know what is to live in comfort, for they are like children so innocent and contented of what had been given to them.
We have read in the bible that God said" Go into the world and multiply." Literary define, how could we multiplied if Eve did not eat the fruit and entice Adam to eat. It is the beginning of realization of being a man and woman capable of multiplying human kind.
So, is disobedience is really a sin? Is there not any reconsideration of their action of being disobedient? For what they have done it creates a good outcome, wherein God no longer lonely seeing upon us from heaven.
