1 | Were Eve's desires sinful? | Gen 3:6 | Mommapbs | 92901 | ||
Greetings Gracefull! Yes, doubting the perfect love of God is key. Robert McGee,in The Search for Significance, advocates that when we chose to disobey we should just say, "God, I despise You and I despise Your Word." Doesn't that put a "spin" on sin?! Blessings, mommapbs |

2 | Were Eve's desires sinful? | Gen 3:6 | Hank | 92904 | ||
Hello there, Mommapbs -- Some time ago I heard a preacher say that the easiest person on earth to deceive is oneself. Like the guy who justifies his adultery on the grounds that his wife just doesn't understand his needs. Or the gambler who steals in order to pay his gambling debt and prevent a murder -- his. His debtor threatened to kill him if he didn't pay his gambling debt. Perhaps the most common deception of all is to try to justify one's behavior on the grounds that everyone else does it -- things like cheating in business or cheating on one's income tax or telling little "white" lies to avoid embarrassment or keep out of trouble. I like your quote from Robert McGee. I wonder whether he's a relative of J. Vernon McGee, author of the "Thru the Bible" series. --Hank | ||||||
