Bible Note: Tim My friend. :) Why don't you let us know what you think? I would say WHY Adam and Eve sinned is a mystery. They did not have sin natures, however they were not perfect either. They had both the ability to sin and the inclination to sin based upon their human nature. God, by His very nature, knew of and ordained sins to happen. It doesn't make him the author of ADAM'S (or anyone's) sins, contrary to Arminian tradition. Jesus Christ, the REDEEMER, is an ETERNAL being, which to me, says God had redemption purposed BEFORE Creation! Having such a purpose in His very identity and nature, how could sin NOT have entered into the world? Endless speculation about WHY Adam sinned is irrevelant. It has nothing to do with OUR fallen condition today in which we are literally SLAVES TO SIN. Tell me, Tim, what is it in us, if not our will, that is "Enslaved to sin"??
