Cheryl Schatz

truthseeker,

I have to run out for a bit but I thought I would clarify this before I left:

Cheryl, I didn’t say Adam’s actions brought us a sin nature. I said they brought us an opportunity to sin.

Yes, that’s right. The first sentence is my view and your view is what we agree on. The sin nature does not make us sin, that we can agree on. But because the sin nature or our propensity to sin is seen as a bondage, I used the illustration of a drug addict who doesn’t have to take drugs, but his craving draws him time and time again back into the old sin habit.

I will comment on the rest when I get back.
