    Any Here Hold that we are not born with a sin nature?

    I am affirming that sin is the result of disobeying the revealed will of God. Lucifer committed the first recorded sin when he, a created being, said: [Isa 14:13-14 ESV]..... 'I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in...

    The cause of the sin nature is not divine knowledge of good and evil, but the disobedience of Adam in defying God's reveled will. [Rom 5:19 ESV] 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

    "...the end of American economic dominance..."

    My understanding is the United States is not mentioned in Bible prophecy concerning the end-times. That being so, the changes necessary for that to be valid might result from current events. FNC's Carlson: Middle Class, China, Big Tech Areas for Focus Post-Coronavirus “Now, China ultimately...
