Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: Thanks mommapbs, It' nice to hear from you! I really don't think that biology is involved. When speaking of the nature of man we speak of his spiritual nature. Gen 2:17 "but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." EPH 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. I believe the Bible is clearly describing spiritual death, which is manifests itself as a "heart of stone". The ability to desire spiritual good is gone (see Romans 1 and 2) and the natural man also loses his ability to recieve or even understand spiritual things (1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised). It was for this reason Jesus told Nicodemus in John chapter 3 that one must be born again before he can even SEE the kingdom of God. John Reformed |
