Pinklight, in #351. If you say, and I quote (I wish I knew how to do that nice blue quotation mark thing! It would be such a timesaver!:)
Your quote: “I’d say his first sinful act was made out of choice”,. Then, are you saying his subsequent sinful acts were NOT made out of choice? If not, then where did those later sinful acts come from? This is the problem many unbelievers (and believers) have who question why they are accountable for actions/sins they do if they were born with (didn’t choose to have) a sinful nature that forces or compels them beyond their abilities to do sinful things. We know God says we are each accountable for our own actions, so those who question this have an extremely valid point.

Even if you say his first sin was his choice, he evidently didn’t need a sinful nature to do it. If he didn’t need a sinful nature to commit one sin, I don’t see where he or anyone else needs a sinful nature to commit more than one sin. If we say his subsequent sins were NOT choice (fault), then we have a real problem. Whose choice were they (the subsequent sins)?
