Bible Note: Beja I tend to agree with you and in 1 John we see lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and pride of life as the motives for sin and I believe they are still within us even as believers. I think they were in Eve before she sinned. Genesis 3:6 (NKJV) 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Good for food - Lust of the flesh pleasant to look at - Lust of the eye Would make one wise - Pride of life. |
