truthseeker,
I’ll just answer this one here.

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.

It isn’t contradictory if you understand me correctly. I am saying that Adam’s nature changed at the fall. Until he acted on what was only a possibility before, he was no different than Eve. But the moment that he acted in rebellion, that moment his nature changed. Since Eve did not act in rebellion her nature did not need to change with the rebellion because there was no rebellion. If that is contradictory, I fail to see where it is contradictory.

It is the same thing for satan. Before he fell his nature was good and righteous. When he choose to rebel as a result of becoming proud his nature changed. Once the nature changes it doesn’t go back to what one walked away from. Does this make sense?
