1 | What was Eve's sin? | Gen 3:6 | Lionstrong | 5337 | ||
In our choices we are at a decisive disadvantage. Our choices, unlike our first parents, are biased by our indwelling sin. In fact the Bible says we were dead in our sin. Being dead in sin, we could not make a live choice to do the right thing. God had to make us alive in order for us to make the right choice and choose Christ. Our first parents could freely choose between right and wrong because they were unhampered by sin. We are, and our choices are not free of the lethal influence of our fallen nature. | ||||||
2 | What was Eve's sin? | Gen 3:6 | jim | 5404 | ||
Hi again, to me there is only one thing Eve done and that was she disobeyed. She was tricked but she also wanted what was on the tree. Adam and Eve both knew what God said but probaby like us for a time they either forgot or just ignored. Remember they walked and talked with God in the cool of the dayWe must obey what God has said or we will die in our sins | ||||||
3 | What was Eve's sin? | Gen 3:6 | Lionstrong | 5523 | ||
Thanks, Jim. Sin and temptation are the subject of my thoughts on Gen 3, as you have rightly mentioned, Jim. I think her desires were not the sin. The only command God had given was "don't eat this fruit." So when Eve said "Yes" to God's "No," that's when the sin occured. Now I precisely chose Eve because she was NOT like us. You see, we were born sinners. So we can't help but sin. I chose Eve because she was like Chirst, sinless. She was not created sinful. There was nothing wrong with her. She was not flawed. So I think her desires were not sinful. She saw that the fruit was good for food. Nothing sinful about that. She saw that it was desirable to make one wise. Nothing wrong with wanting to be wise. She saw that the tree was beautiful. Nothing wrong with an appriciation for beauty. I think we need not nor should not try to find more evil in Eve's behavior. It was enough that she disobeyed God's explicit command not to eat the fruit of that tree. Although we deserve to die for our sins, God has provided a way of escape. Like I said, Jesus was not a sinner. He was the ONLY man who deserved to go to heaven, but instead he was put to death on a cruel cross. He didn't die because he was a sinner. He wasn't a sinner. He was perfectly righteous. He didn't die because he was a sinner. He died to take the place of sinners. God proved that this is so by raising Jesus from the grave on the third day after Jesus died. And now what God tells us to do to escape the death that we deserve for our sins is to change our minds (repent) about trying to work hard to be good enough to go to heaven, and believe that he raised the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son from the grave. If we do this God will give us eternal life and not send us to hell for our sins. This is the first step in a walk of obedience to the Lord. Thank you for your encouragement, Jim. Lionstrong |
