Man created sin through his own free will to do so. God wants us to return to Him but He does not demand it. We thought we could become like God on our own. We sinned because of pride.
The priveledge to become like God was removed until the coming of Jesus. He rebestowed the priveledge and one again, we are all capable of becoming Christs ourselves.
Who encouraged man to disobey God in the first place? Man was perfect before the purveyor of sin came slithering into the Garden. And what's this about becoming Christs ourselves? Sounds like the original lie of the Serpent to me.
I was asked this question by a fellow Christian, and at the time I did not answer until I studied the Scriptures. I will give one Scripture and the rest is yours. Remember the word is "Created".
Romans 5:
12Therefore, just as sin enteredthe world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— 13for before the law was given, sin was in the world.

Man was born with the inclination to sin. We sinned through judgement. Isn't that what your doing? Placing a judgement on another child of God just because you cannot grasp the concept of who you are but what you want others to believe about you. Do you not know yet that you are love and love always seeks for betterment? How are you making the world better by judgeing others based on what you alone believe? If you disagree with someone and their ideas, you should know that attacking isn't the best route to take.
Judgement is a mockery of goodness and decency, for the sole intent of judgement is control. You are trying to control what is the truth by inserting your own ideas and making others believe that they are wrong.
Love cannot sin. God didn't create anything that is not in harmony with Himself.
