The biggest problem with finitude as an explanation for man’s fallenness and sinfulness is that it places the blame for man’s sin ultimately on God and absolves humanity from any kind of responsibility. It’s the ultimate moral copout, whereby I say not that the devil made me do it, but worse than that: the Creator made me do it, because He made me finite. To err is human, and since I’m just being human, God is obligated to forgive me.
