Sin is the deviation from God's intended will for creation. In our contemporary milieu, ideas like the simulation theory, popularized by professor
Nick Bostrom, whose theory suggests that the world is a giant artificial computer simulation, helps us plainly begin to examine sin as being similar to a powerful computer virus. In modern computing, a virus is considered small programs or scripts that can negatively affect the health of your computer. Thus, the sin virus is simply the reversal or decay of our intended state of being both in software or the unseen world as well as the hardware - the visible world. Sin virus = death spiral.
The sin virus like the computer virus requires agency. According the Encyclopedia Britannica, an agent in the realm of computing is called a softbot or software robot, "a computer program that performs various actions continuously and autonomously on behalf of an individual or an organization. For example, a software agent may archive various computer files or retrieve electronic messages on a regular schedule. Such simple tasks barely begin to tap the potential uses of software agents, however. This is because an intelligent software agent can observe the behaviour patterns of its users and learn to anticipate their needs or at least their repetitive actions. Such intelligent software agents frequently rely on techniques from other fields of artificial intelligence, such as expert systems and neural networks, and aim to achieve complex goals."
The complex goal in the case of the sin virus is death. The sin virus has infected physical creation itself with decay, which the materialist philosophers have concluded, as well as material sciences have theorized, as heat death, includes an eschatology for the ultimate end of existence as we know it. This state of death that we have inherited from the sin virus has been expressed in many ways throughout history, but perhaps the most appropriate is the ouroboros or the serpent eating its own tale - the ancient symbol for the cyclical nature of life and death, a deliberate reminder of who is actually responsible for this error in the fabric of creation.
There is only one way to get rid of this virus: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the one who would allow the virus to swallow Him whole, to overcome Him, to take Him to its deepest depths. Sometimes to fix a problem, there must be one willing to go to the painful heart of its core. After He died and went to the heart of the earth, three days passed and He defeated the virus, he got the keys to and conquered death and hell; something was done that had never been done before nor could it have been done by any other - the programmer just fixed a flaw in the program from the inside.
As opposed to simply hitting delete on all of this and starting again, He decided to get His hands deep in the mix. Indeed a connection was formed from the inside out. The first connection of its kind; everything before it was from the outside in. Before that day God chose men. It is the effect of that hour which allows you to choose God. Make the choice today to put all of your trust on the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did for you alone, so that you may be free from the virus, with a new genetic code, enabling you to connect to Heaven for all of eternity.
Remember, we are born into a spiritual war. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Mankind is a fallen creature, yet we still consider every living person as a valuable child of God created in His image, unique and loved by the creator of all things.
How are we both fallen and at the same time loved with a perfect love of our Heavenly Father you might ask? It is because we are suspended in a spiritual war that we did not start, but are certainly responsible for entering into. The war that began in the heavenly realm has two distinct sides - one that is not from this world, but of the Kingdom of Heaven in the process of restoring the intended infrastructure of Gods rightful creation, and the other led by the prince of the power of the air, who can appear as an angel of light or the shining one - that old serpent, the dragon, whose personal rebellion and subsequent lie to Eve - the mother of all living, with a complicit Adam brought sin into our world.
