Bible Note: Dear Lookn... You say; "I do not think one can contend that it was in her nature to disobey God, that is, to sin. It was in her nature to make choices." Well. in that case; she chose to disobey God. That is a sin. You also say; "Finally, that God knew she would transgress did not make its occurrence necessary or inevitable." So you agree that she transgressed? Easton's Bible Dictionary Sin is, "any want of conformity unto or [transgression] of the law of God" -- [brackets] are mine for emphasis God said not to do it, that makes it a law of God, that makes doing it, a sin. Not necessary, or inevitable? I doubt very much that anyone can successfully contend that it was not part of God's plan. The good news is, of course; God has made a way for us to get out of the mire and bondage of sin, and live! John 3:16 And now I leave you with this 'edited' message from Hank, (Thanks Hank!) which is a mirror of my own thoughts on this subject. Shalom and God bless John “I lay no claim whatever to any expertise on matters involving High Theology or anything of the kind, so I'm fairly well limited when it comes to trying to connect the dots. And that is good! It forces me to attempt to speak only where the Bible speaks and to keep my mouth shut where the Bible is silent. I have enough trouble learning and digesting what the Bible clearly reveals, and so it leaves me no time to speculate and ruminate on the things which our loving and all-wise Father chose not to elaborate. God's eternal and unchanging word will be around long after I'm gone. Few indeed are they who care about my opinions now and fewer still will remember them after I've gone. So my candid view about questions such as call for speculations is this: If God did not choose to reveal details, is it our business to worry very much about them? I really don't believe that God expects us to fill in the blanks ourselves nor needs man to take over where He left off, do you? Just how important is it to know about such things? The narrative has endured and imparted the message it was intended to impart for centuries as it is, without being gussied up with all these minute frills and details. Let's be content to learn from it all that it clearly reveals without tarnishing the sacred record by adding our worthless speculation and groundless guesses.” –Hank |
