Answer 3

Naturally evil, maybe not evil, that is a strong word
We just want to rebel and do as we please...
We have to have a regenerated mind, and a renewed spirit
We always have to fight against the flesh and bring it under
Subjection to the will of God
And sometimes we fail, that is why Jesus died on the cross to bring Us back to a right standing with God, redemption.
We are redeemed back to God through the cross of Jesus and his shed blood, he was the lamb, the sacrifice for all mankind

This is a slanted answer thing.

You got that part right.

We choose.
We are not naturally one or the other.

Answer 6

Humans were Good: (Genesis 1:26-28) "26 And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”
(Genesis 1:31) "31 After that God saw everything he had made and, look! [it was] very good. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a sixth day."
After the rebellion, (Satan, the instigator) Man has inherited Bad:(Romans 5:12) "12 That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned. . ."
However, soon when the kingdom comes things will change:(1 John 3:8) ". . .. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil."

Answer 7

I'll try to be brief. "the natural Man is an enemy of good". it doesn't mean we have a tendency to be evil just selfish. Evil vs Good is our choice, even at the base of our instincts. However, the in born natural side to us always wants us to have fun regardless of how it affects others. If we followed our natural instincts we would probably kill if it suited us, have sex if we wanted, however the natural "person" also loves and is hurt or feels jealous if that love is betrayed. We aren't innately evil or good, But it's our free will to follow ot not follow what ever our instincts may be that shows God how much power we can have.

Answer 8

Humans are not natural at all, in fact we destroy nature.
If by using the term humans, you mean is our species good or bad then I say. On the whole we are bad because we destroy the tranquillity and balance and repose of the whole sum. There are exceptions but as you know they are too few and so far between.

Answer 9

When God created humans, we were perfect- made in His image in three ways: we have intellect, emotions, and free choice. Unfortunately, we abused that free choice, and became sinful. So the answer to your question is naturally sinful. Romans 3:23 says, "For ALL have SINNED and fallen short of the glory of God." Because we have fallen short of the glory of God and heaven, we are doomed to eternity in hell.
BUT PRAISE BE TO GOD! He still loves us so much that He sent His one and only SON to die for us and pay our way to heaven!
Bring to mind the most righteous person you know. Now imagine as bad a person as you can think of. Christ died for both of those people, and everyone in between. There is nobody who can earn their way into heaven, because we are all sinners. Even thinking a dirty thought is a sin! Thank the Lord that there is a way out of our fallen state.

Answer 10

i do no longer think of human beings are certainly evil. human beings are human beings and between the excellent issues approximately being human is having unfastened will. All we've are the thoughts we make, and we can choose what we've self belief is optimal for us. common i think of there are a number of greater "stable" human beings in the international than "evil." to quote the movie Love rather: "each and every time i'm getting gloomy with the state of the international, i think of appropriate to the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. time-honored opinion's commencing up to make out that we are residing in a international of hatred and greed, yet i do no longer see that. it variety of feels to me that love is everywhere. many times, it relatively is no longer extremely dignified or newsworthy, in spite of the undeniable fact that that's often there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and better halves, boyfriends, girlfriends, previous acquaintances. while the planes hit the twin Towers, so some distance as i comprehend, not one of the telephone calls from the persons on board have been messages of hate or revenge - they have been all messages of love. in case you seek for it, i've got have been given a sneaking suspicion... love rather is all around." And with reference on your remark approximately us being taught to no longer hit, chew or kick one yet another: we are first and maximum remarkable, animals. in case you have ever stated any youthful monkeys or apes enjoying, they do a rather good variety of tough enjoying. We do the comparable, a minimum of till our mom and dad and instructors let us know to no longer. we are actually not evil. we are a made of our evolution, upbringing, ideals and alternatives.

Answer 11

Evil? Don't know about that. But sinful, ya that comes naturally because we inherited it from Adam & Eve. A baby has to "learn" to share, not bite, hit, to be kind, not steal, etc.
