Genesis 3: 14 fw
So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
All that follows is from God no Adam. Iti God apparently over reacting to one act from Adam and Eve. One mistake. One disopbedience, one sin and God says Gen 14-19
but nowhere does God claim that Man is now eternally sinful, or anything of the sort.
All this nonsese about sin is related to the earlier claim
Ge 3:3
but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
And becasue they did not actually fall dead people have been trying to justify the result to make this statement true.
But God didn’t say it! The writer did!
The whole thing is putting words into God’s mouth! Something that Job shows is not what God wants or agrees with.
And you appear to be doing it also if you think that God made man innately sinful.
He did not!
Jer 31 & Ezek 18 repeat that we are responsible for our own sins. There is no such thing as Original Sin, nor is there any curse on humanity to sin.
(or to have unholy habbits)
Mark 2: 17
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
which implies that there are/were people who can be called righteous! (and that was before His death)
