“And it’s not that Adam ‘developed’ a sin nature. His choices just made for who he was.”

But that is not what has been claimed here by Cheryl. The claim is that Adam’s sin nature is something that came into existence at the point he sinned, i.e. it did not exist prefall. Do you disagree with Cheryl here pinklight? Are you claiming that Adam had a different, additional sin “nature” before either Adam or Eve had committed any sin?

Yes, gengwall I agree with Cheryl but Adam’s nature didn’t “develope” like it was a progression. It was instant. I don’t think Cheryl has claimed that his sin nature “developed”. When Adam chose to rebel and continue as a rebel, that was it, he wasn’t going back. The text gives no indication that he repented. His choices made for who he was/became. He at one point was not a rebel, then he became one and stayed a rebel. That’s in a big way what defines Adam.
