1 | Were Eve's desires sinful? | Gen 3:6 | Lionstrong | 5305 | ||
These thoughts stem from our discussion of the temptation of Christ, Heb 4:15. Eve's desires were not sinful. At this point she (like Christ) wasn't a sinner. Satan tricked her into fulfilling legitimate desires illegitimately. I've heard preachers site 1 John 2:16 (For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.) This verse is misapplied to Eve. She was tricked into sinnig, but were her desires the sin? What sin broght the curse on mankind? "Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed..." What, then, was her sin? "(From)...the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." Yes, the sin began in her heart, but was her sin her desires or was it saying yes to an illegitimate way of fulfilling legitimate desires? Your thoughts and comments welcome. Lionstrong |
