1 | How was the sin nature really created? | Matt 12:31 | atdcross | 167040 | ||
Some scholars believe that Isa 14 and Eze 28 are representations of God's creation of the angel Lucifer and his fall. Primarily from these two chapters do I make brief answers to what I see are three questions (if you do not mind an uneducated answer). 1. Where was sin formed? Sin was not "formed" but found in Lucifer. As created, he was perfectly made for divine purposes and he walked blamelessly in relationship with God until the day he sought to usurp God's dominion and make himself God. As far as I know, the Bible does not say why Lucifer turned against God or what were the influences, if any, that motivated him to take such action. All we read is that he became proud to the point of desiring equality or supremecy over God. God did not "create" Satan. Lucifer turned into a satan when he rebelled against God; his character and conduct are thus described in the name given to Lucifer, which is Satan, which means (if I am not mistaken), "adversary", specifically God's adversary. I will continue later... |

2 | How was the sin nature really created? | Matt 12:31 | atdcross | 167043 | ||
Hi Kay. To continue... 2. Where did the sin nature come from? The sin nature, as far as Satan is concerned, resulted as the consequence of his own choice to rebel against God. The purity of heaven does not guarantee the moral purity of created beings with free will. Again, we are not told in the Bible specifically how Lucifer was able to turn against God, only the fact that he did; the metaphysical aspects are not hinted at. I thought I saw three questions, but actually where did the sin nature come from and how it could happen in heaven is apparently one question answered in point #2 above. The answers are brief. If you have any further questions that may not be clear or find my answers unsatisfactory, don't hesitate to letme know (although, again, my answers are "uneducated"). |
