1 | Is It Human to Sin? | Gen 1:27 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 188377 | ||
Steve, The point I am making is not to deny we are human - that's a given - but the assertion that it is only human to sin. God designed us not for the purposes of sinning, although given free will the potential was there, but for the purposes of fulfilling his will, which we have obviously failed to do. As such, we have all acted contrary to God's design, that is, original intent. Therefore, humans only act human - that is, according to God's original intent for the way humans are to behave - when they do what is morally right; they behave less than human (although being human) when they sin; their actions are more in accord with a beast rather than a human. God never intended for sin to be part of the human condition or nature. As a sinner, man cannot "ultimately do [what is] according to God's purposes"; nevertheless, God is able to ultimately fulfill His own purposes since He is sovereign. |

2 | Is It Human to Sin? | Gen 1:27 | srbaegon | 188381 | ||
Hello Lookn... If God designed and made us with the ability to sin, then we are acting according to design; therefore we act as humans whether or not we sin. Of course sinners can do according to God's purposes. Read your Bible, and notice what was done with Pharoah, Sennecharib, Nebuchadnezzar, and Cyrus (just to name a few). These sinners were used by God to fulfill his purposes. Steve |
