Subject: Evil already occured? |
Bible Note: Nolan, You're right. Isa. 14:12-15 and Eze. 28:11-9 refer to Satan and his fall from heaven, according to some "experts." You are right the knowledge of good and evil made it possible for mankind to sin. They were innoncent, since God created them. We are born sinners - because of Adam and our fathe's seed. The serpent was in the Garden and enticed Eve to do evil, that is sin (Gen 3). The trees were there to give Adam and Eve a choice. Steve |
