If God's word and purity are supernatural, then wouldn't that make sin and falling from God's word natural?
So is sin natural for human beings?
Malevolent, but inescapable?
So then why do some people refer to sin as unnatural?
Wouldn't that make it supernatural?
Can anything BE infranatural?

Interesting question.
The bible refers to homosexuality as sin and "unnatural."
Then, the bible says, "The natural man does not care for the things of God."
Sounds like there are two naturals or more.
Natural: The original state of created things as designed
Natural: The unchanged Man without God
Very thought provoking...

We are all born with sin. So, yes, we have a sinful nature. However, by placing our faith in Jesus Christ, that's when Jesus put the Holy Spirit in us to guide us. With the Holy Spirit in us, that's when we truly have the freedom from sin. By this, I mean when you face with a temptation, you have a choice not to sin. I don't know if you have watched the movie Shawshank Redemption. Morgan Freeman's character has been in jail for 40 some years and he was released later on. After he was released from jail, he was working in a grocery store. While he was working there, he would raise his hand and asked for permission to go to the bathroom every single time. His supervisor then went over to him and told him that he could just go without asking for permission. Morgan Freeman's character would then explain that he could not squeeze a drop out without permission when he was in jail for most of his life. Many times we are like Morgan Freeman's character in the movie, the sinful nature has been in us for a long time. Since we are so used to our sinful life style, sometimes, we may slip back into our sinful nature. But as our faith matures, we learn to listen to God and follow God; the yearning of our sinful nature subsides and our yearning for God increases. Over time, it will become more and more of a nature for us to follow God.

Well, all have fallen short of the glory of God.(bible)
Originally we weren't made to sin, but Adam and Eve sinned and disobeyed. But the temptation is there, it isn't impossible to avoid sin, but that's your decision to not fall into sin. Its temptation that's the fall of alot of people.

We are born with a sinful nature. It is impossible while we are in the flesh to be perfect. We will be raised incorruptible one day though.

We are born into sin... That is our humanity.. but to strive to be pure.. to strive to be like Christ.. that's what makes us different..
So... I guess.. it is our nature to be liars, thieves, manipulators, decievers, adulterers etc.... that doesn't mean that we HAVE to take the easy route.. that we have to give into tempation.. that's the point of being a true Christian.. being set apart...

The bible is man made trash devised to keep you enslaved and in fear all your life and ask pointless questions about nonsense like the one you just asked. I encourage you to just be honest with yourself and admit your living a lie and sham. Here is a good website where you can submit your ex-christian testimony:
