Bible Question:
I realise that Adam and Eve were tempted to sin by the serpent but as I read the scripture I see that evil existed before Adam and Eve sinned.Im still wondering where evil came from. tbriggs |
Bible Answer: tbriggs: In Romans 5:12 we read "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; so death passed upon all men (humankind) for that all have sinned." We see that by Adam's disobedience sin entered into our world and all from that time onward are born in sin. Where did evil come from. We know that it did not come from God. "let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." (James 1:13) God cannot be tempted by evil, he is pure in every way. It has been suggested that prior to the creation of man, that Lucifer (satan) rebelled against God and was judged. Resulting in the subtle serpent in the garden. This is referred to in Isaiah 14:12-15 I think the important thing the scripture teaches us that by the first man Adam came sin and death upon all and that by the second man Christ comes blessing, forgiveness and life.
