1 | Is sin inherited from father and mother? | Rom 5:19 | John Reformed | 75461 | ||
Thanks mommapbs, It' nice to hear from you! I really don't think that biology is involved. When speaking of the nature of man we speak of his spiritual nature. Gen 2:17 "but 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." EPH 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. I believe the Bible is clearly describing spiritual death, which is manifests itself as a "heart of stone". The ability to desire spiritual good is gone (see Romans 1 and 2) and the natural man also loses his ability to recieve or even understand spiritual things (1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised). It was for this reason Jesus told Nicodemus in John chapter 3 that one must be born again before he can even SEE the kingdom of God. John Reformed |

2 | Is sin inherited from father and mother? | Rom 5:19 | Mommapbs | 75477 | ||
Hi John Reformed! My use of genetics is just a feeble attempt for ME to understand how the sin nature is transmitted. Since we are triune beings, we cannot separate our spiritual nature from our physical and intellectual natures. The whole ball of wax is part of the reproductive process. I believe God's Word which declares that ALL have sinned. Since apart from God not ONE is righteous, the sin nature of Adam MUST be inherited as well. Yes, we are dead in our sin (nature) until God declares us righteous. I look forward to talking to Him about all this when I see Him! Blessings in Jesus! mommapbs |
