Baháʼí views on sin

The Baháʼí Faith teaches that sin is disobedience to God and that sinning separates a person from God.[1] Examples of sins in the Baháʼí Faith include anger, jealousy, hypocrisy, prejudice, and failure to follow the Baháʼí laws.[1] Conversely, Baháʼís believe that God will forgive sins for which a person repents, and people can draw nearer to God by developing spiritual qualities.[1] The Baháʼí teachings do not accept the doctrine of original sin, instead teaching that babies come into the world without sin.[1] Also, the Baháʼí teachings hold that Manifestations of God do not sin.[2]
