A Great Question For You Christians!?

Question

Lets analyize sin and free will and why we are sinful.

Original sin was created by Adam and Eve.
However, our sin today has nothing to do with them as we are responsible for our own sins since we got free will.

Firstly, If humans are not cursed sinful when born why is every single human sinful?
Secondly, if we got free will then how come we are not given the chance to choose our own destiny and prove to God whether we are sinful or not?

Or is it because not matter what we do we are bound to be sinful?

Then why were Adam and Eve born unsinful?

Are we humans born with less priviledge then them?

If so, then Adams sin did have a saying for our sins?

I thought we were responsible for our own sins.(contradiction)

So how can humans be judged as sinful when we have no choice but to be sinful? You Christians know God but not even one of you are sinless. If so, then free will is not really free will since we can't choose not to sin.

I have had problems in getting my point through to the Christian readers with my other questions.

This one is a bit confusing as well I guess.

I'll try to put it in a simpler form soon.

Anyway try to have a crack on it.

Answer 1

Birds can choose not to fly.. I have sen then hopping around my yard looking for food.. They don't have to fly. Still it is their nature to do so.

People don't have to sin. They can choose to follow God closely. Still it is mankind's nature to sin. Haven't you ever noticed, you don't have to teach a child to lie? I never taught my children to do that. I taught them to tell the truth. Still they lied.. Why is that? It's because it is their nature to be evil.

Now we have the choice to turn to God and be given a new nature. If you hate the life if sin you have been living, you can turn to Jesus and he will crate in you a new nature that loves goodness and hates sin. It's your choice... IHS Jim

Answer 2

Adam and Eve were created without the knowledge of good and evil. They had no reason to sin until the serpent tricked them into sin. Any other sin, and there would not have been a problem, but the sin the serpent tricked them into was eating of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. With that knowledge, they could no longer be pure and sinless. Once they had the knowledge, they also had the desire.

God created Adam and Eve without any other help, but we are created through Adam and Eve after they had sinned in the garden.

We inherited the sin nature, and we cannot begin to rid ourselves of the sin nature until we have reconciled ourselves with God. Since this is a post-crucifixion era, we reconcile ourselves with God through Jesus, His only begotten Son.

Once this is done, and we begin to take on a new nature, we shed our old sin nature.

We will never be perfect in our lifetime here on earth; but that was the purpose of the cross, our sins are forgiven.

Answer 3

Your logic is sound, but the problems is in the facts you were provided.

"Original sin was created by Adam and Eve.
However, our sin today has nothing to do with them as we are responsible for our own sins since we got free will."

These two statements are contradictory. One of them cannot be true, if the Bible is accurate in logic. An examination of the Bible reveals the second point to be true, but does not support the first.

James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

There are statements in the Bible that indicate that "original sin" (a phrase first coined in the foruth century, I believe) is not the measure of the impudiation of guilt from sin.

Ezekiel 18:4 "Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die."

Here God makes it clear the Guilt of sin is with the sinner, not the child (or parent) of the sinner. This would contradict the doctrine of Original Sin

Answer 4

Okay, good question.
Adam and Eve were not "born" in the traditional sense, they were created by God so they were not born in original sin.

I do believe that we have a chance to chose our destiny by whether we follow God or not, but it is human nature to be sinful...I can not tell you why and will not try to.

Yes we are sinful creatures, but by accepting Christ you are forgiven for your sins because he paid the ultimate price for us.

I know that this does not answer all your question but I am not going to answer the parts that I do not know.

Answer 5

You have a fundamental misunderstanding.

All persons born after the Death and Res. of Christ are not born immaculate. All persons are born of origional sin even after the death and res. of Christ.

Christ did not absolve all sin for future generations. Baptism removes orig. sin. It is the death of Christ, and his ressurection, that allows us to overcome orig. sin.

Humans have always had free will, even Adam and Eve had free will. Adam and Eve were not born, they were created. Because they were created, they were made without the taint of sin. Because we are descended from them and their innate imperfection, we too carry that burden of sin.

here is the basics.

Born a sinner.
Become baptized to wash away origional sin, and previous sins.
After baptism, confess sins and ask for forgiveness.

No contradiction.

Answer 6

We aren't born sinful, we're born with a sin nature. As a result of Adam and Eve's sin, we have a sin nature that slants us toward sin, sin becomes our natural inclination. However, this doesn't mean we're born sinful. We are inclined toward sin, but we have to commit it to become sinful.

Answer 7

Maybe we are being punished for adams sins by living our lifes on earth.? 80 Years of sin !
Maybe we are being tested on earth to see if we ready to move to a higher state of being.

Answer 8

Adam and Eve were not the orginators of the original sin.
That is bestowed on Lucifer in the 1st earth age.

Answer 9

Who says we're not cursed with sin at birth?

Sin has affected ALL humanity.

Regardless of what we think or feel about God being fair and all.....we are still sinners in desperate need of the Savior.

Instead of questioning this.....why not believe it to be true?

Because it is..........and you will know the truth someday if you continue to reject the Savior

Answer 10

Adam and Eve were not born they were created
