What is the essence of sin?

Oh good grief, what does that even mean? In this world, human beings sin. That is it. There is no sin other than that.

It means what I said. Sin existed before Adam was created. Sin didn't originate with Adam.

Before the age of accountability, a child does not sin. Before that, there is nothing the child does that is counted as sin.

Paul said clearly that he was afforded grace because he sinned in the ignorance of unbelief.

1Ti 1:13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

Accountability is relative to understanding. There is no context of age.

Every man is judged by what they do with the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

What you said is pure gibberish!

Not at all. Satan existed before Adam. Satan fell before the creation of Adam. Jesus talked about this in

Luk 10:18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Was Satan the serpent that deceived Eve?

Also. It is my experience that most everyone prefers to blame their sin on Adam. At the very least, they believe that they wouldn't have sinned if were not for Adam.

Such nonsense doesn't create culpability for sin in the individual like it should. I actually see sin worse than most people do. My sins are of my own making. They still are.
