I have elsewhere attempted to ask this question but my poor communication skills have made it so that I haven't been understood, I will try again here:
It has been said that if God has created everything and sin is a "thing" then God has created sin.
It has also been said that sin is not a "thing" but the absence of a thing (like a shadow)
But my question is this: From where/when did CONCEPT of sin arrive?
If God is un-created, along with his attributes that have existed from all eternity, we then know that sin was not there with him, so at some point sin had to be introduced, and i dont mean at the point that Adam or Satan sinned, but I mean at the point in time when sin was an option. For example, I have never gone to the moon, but once we first went to the moon there was immediately the ability (that wasnt there before), to actually choose going to the moon. So again, where did the option of sin come to being?
