Subject: Whose will causes a believer to sin? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! You wrote: "Where you stray from biblical reality into the murky realm of human wisdom, is in your pre-supposition that God created man for some reason other than His own glory." This is not a valid complaint. You have already established that we are allowed to use our human to determine when a verse is credible or not! ;-) But, seriously, did Adam and Eve simply follow their fallen nature when they sinned? They did not yet have a fallen nature. So, where did the 'desire' to sin come from? The arguement that someone 'willing' follows a preordained choice makes no sense at all. It is a direct contradiction. But, this argument doesn't work with Adam and Eve simply because they had not yet fallen, hence, they were not spiritually dead. So, where did their choice come from?
