“Adam and Eve did not have a different nature pre-fall. However the choice to sin with one’s eyes wide open to the full knowledge of what you are doing in rebellion against God has a tragic consequence and that is a change in nature. When Adam sinned his nature changed from one capable of sin to one bent on sin with a full enslavement to sin.” Cheryl, #422.

Cheryl, in your first sentence you say Adam and Eve did NOT have a different nature pre-fall and in yur last sentence you say Adam’s nature changed. That is completely contradictory.

Further, you say his nature went from capable to sinning to bent on sinning. Where does the bible explicitly say that in the Genesis account or anywhere?

Finally, the consequence or description of having the choice to sin with a greater knowledge of the consequences is NOT a changed nature; it is changed knowledge base. Learning more does not necessarily change one’s nature. It does increase one’s knowledge and/or awareness.
