Isaiah 59:12 "For our
transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for
our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;"
Sin causes so many
problems. If only he hadn’t cheated on his wife, or if only she hadn’t
embezzled from the company, for instance.
It complicates our lives
and is best avoided. But it is gold for plotting.
Characters who make wrong
choices cause complications for themselves and that brings conflict and tension
to our stories. But when a character sins, it increases conflict, tension, and
the emotion of the plot. We just have to choose the sin carefully or assign it
to a villain so our readers don’t lose their sympathy and empathy for our
protagonist and toss our stories away in disgust.
