2 | When did Adam become a sinner? | Gen 3:6 | Hank | 92557 | ||
Adam became a sinner at the moment when he made his choice to disobey God by eating of the fruit which God had commanded him not to eat. Scripture does not say how much time elapsed between the time Adam decided to eat the fruit and when he ate it. Whether it was a matter of seconds or hours doesn't really matter. Adam became a sinner at the moment he decided in his heart to disobey God. Jesus' teaching on adultery in Matthew 5:27,28 illustrates this principle of sins of the heart. --Hank | ||||||

Yes, Hank, but I think that explains when the sin occurred. How did he acquire the sinful nature? That is another way of framing the original question. (I suppose you would say it is not our sinning that makes us sinners, but rather it is our sinful nature which causes us tp sin). Seems he acquired the sinful nature when he experienced sin and developed a taste for it. As you say, it happened in his heart before the physical act was committed. | ||||||
