1 | Whose will causes a believer to sin? | Rev 13:8 | John Reformed | 88125 | ||
Dear Tim "But, seriously, did Adam and Eve simply follow their fallen nature when they sinned? They did not yet have a fallen nature. So, where did the 'desire' to sin come from?" We know that the desire to sin absolutely dominates the human heart since the fall of Adam. we also know that Eve was decieved by the devil and that Adam freely participated in her sin. But I have not found in my study of the Bible where the desire to sin originated in the pre-fall hearts of Adam and Eve. We might as well ask why God made them that way (of course we know Paul's response to that question in Romans 9): "does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?". On second thought, I would say the desire came from God (the potter). I don't mean to say that they were created with a flaw, for they were perfect pots from the hand of the Perfect Potter. Rather, the Potter made them as he did for a particular use; To ultimately cause everything in Heaven and upon the Earth to freely and from pure hearts give Him all praise and glory for the things that He has done. I will leave it to other to vainly attempt to drag Him into court. Do you have an answer other than Paul's? John |

Greetings John! Paul argues in Rom. 9 for the Potter's right to use the clay as He sees fit. It does not say that God has the right to sin! James 1:13 says, "When tempted, no one should say, ??God is tempting me.? For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. " So, can God God not only tempt Adam and Eve, but ordain the act of sin which they commit? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

It is a fact that Adam sinned and set us all on a course of iniquity. The question I read is "Can a BELIEVER sin?" A believer as I understand the word is on who is a follower and disciple of the Lord Jesus. The answer to the question about a believer is They only sin because they want to. We are dead to sin. No temptation copme upon us that is beyond that which we can handle. We sin because we choose to | ||||||
