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 | KayS | 167150 | ||
Thank you very much for your answers. I hope my request for "educated" answers did not offend anyone; however, I felt my questions would best be answered by a Bible scholar (lay or professional). You were very helpful. After studying your answers, I agree that sin won't be a problem in Heaven. I am also secure that my soul rests with God and he will keep me safe from spiritual danger once I receive my resurrected body, because I have made my decision on Earth to make him my Lord. True, the Bible does not say exactly how Satan came to believe he could overthrow God, and there are some things that we can't understand while we're on Earth even if we did know about them. Once again, that you so much for your help. God bless. |

Hi Kay, I was not offended at all by your request for an educated answer. My concern was that you might be not put off by one who is not a scholar. Glad to know such a concern was unwarranted and that I could be of some little help. You made my day! | ||||||
