Bible Question: When did Adam become a sinner? |
Bible Answer: Adam became a sinner at the moment when he made his choice to disobey God by eating of the fruit which God had commanded him not to eat. Scripture does not say how much time elapsed between the time Adam decided to eat the fruit and when he ate it. Whether it was a matter of seconds or hours doesn't really matter. Adam became a sinner at the moment he decided in his heart to disobey God. Jesus' teaching on adultery in Matthew 5:27,28 illustrates this principle of sins of the heart. --Hank |
