Subject: How was the sin nature really created? |
Bible Note: Hi Kay. To continue... 2. Where did the sin nature come from? The sin nature, as far as Satan is concerned, resulted as the consequence of his own choice to rebel against God. The purity of heaven does not guarantee the moral purity of created beings with free will. Again, we are not told in the Bible specifically how Lucifer was able to turn against God, only the fact that he did; the metaphysical aspects are not hinted at. I thought I saw three questions, but actually where did the sin nature come from and how it could happen in heaven is apparently one question answered in point #2 above. The answers are brief. If you have any further questions that may not be clear or find my answers unsatisfactory, don't hesitate to letme know (although, again, my answers are "uneducated"). |
