Featured The knowledge of good and evil being the cause to the fallen nature.

Obviously God has knowledge of good and evil, as He created the tree and put it in the garden of Eden.

But no Baptist I know of believes that knowledge has given God a "fallen nature."

OTOH, Adam's volitional sin, listening to his wife and eating the forbidden fruit, our fallen nature was imposed by God upon Adam and Eve and all of humanity.

 

I am still waiting for @37818 to clearly explain his position since I have not met any Baptist that holds @37818 s views.

 

You did. You said the knowledge of God and Evil was the cause to the fallen nature. It was not.

 

God's curse, the consequence of His promise CAUSED the fall. Full stop.

 

Rebellion against God’s command corrupted man, not “knowledge” of good and evil.

When God sought Adam in the garden did He say, “do you now know good and evil?” No. He said, “did you eat of the tree”.

peace to you

 

By the sweat of your brow... I suppose you think the ground sweats when man tills and cultivates it.

 

Once again, “knowledge” did not cause the corruption of mankind. Rebellion did.

If you think that “makes no sense”, then discussion is futile.

Thanks for the conversation

peace to you

 

So by the sweat of your brow was not the curse of God?

 

No he doesn't. He points out that rebellion against God's Covenant brought the corruption upon mankind. It's the same curse you and I are under.

 

Brother, man didn’t have a sin nature before they rebelled against God. There was nothing to know.

The “cause” of their sin nature was rebellion, not the knowledge they had rebelled.

peace to you
