Because that is the source of our nature to commit sin according to Romans 5:12.
No one has to teach a child to sin. Sooner or later a child will commit personal sin.
An apple tree is still an apple tree before it bears fruit.


I understand what you are saying. If we pre-existed our birth here on earth as spirit beings (and perhaps sinned) then why are we imputed with the sin of Adam.

In my view (The view of most of orthodox Christianity) our sin nature has its inception in Adam and that was imputed to each of us at the time of Adam's sin.
Supposing that we did have a pre-existence - that is an interesting question related to our relationship with Adam.
Personally I believe Romans 5:12 definitely teaches we sinned in Adam. Admittedly There is debate about that but the grammar is the proof thereof.

Yes. So I am two-fold a sinner.

one kind is enough

the physical cannot sin, Sin,is an offense to God and is a spiritual response to spiritual stimuli, The physical cannot , just like trying decide the size or weight of a color

I think you cannot just invent things as you please to determine truth.
God has revealed truth by His Spirit. If you have not repented and believed the word of God ...yet...you cannot come to a correct understanding...it is not possible...
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

None of you responses suggest you are welcoming truth as of yet.



That is not taught in the bible
i

sure it is Psalms 82

but you verses show, the physical cannot know spiritual. We as sinners relate to God , physical beings ( animals?)without souls cannot

But we are not just one kind we are tripartite - body soul and spirit.

Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

you had a free will at the spiritual creation, that is where it comes from.

We in our free will make bad decisions

without the new birth you cannot understand....you are without a base trying to understand...it cannot happen

but you have to believe God made me
Agree.

placing me in a place and time were I could not here of Jesus
Disagree. Although my finite mind cannot quite comprehend it (Isa. 55:8), I believe all men have a chance to be saved (Titus 2:11; John 1:9; I Timothy 2:4).

Yet He placed you in a Bible Church with College teachers and were saved
I was saved through the bus ministry of a SBC 42 years ago. It is only by the grace and mercy of God that I am in the ministry today.

There has to be something wrong
If you know me and are familiar with our Bible college, give me a call sometime and I'd be happy to discuss this with you. I feel like we're going around in circles here on the BB.

never ending circles

Think of my ancestors who might be Cherokee, perhaps even BC, They live and died and never heard of Jesus.
Yet we know "He that hat the Son hath life"
Well there is a problem when we consider God is not a respector of persons, yet we have the dilema. How is this person saved?
Did Jesus preach to the physically dead after the cruxificion?
We know God is fair so our understanding must be incomplete

yes, but the natural man is not just the unsaved. or else we have to know the Holy Spirit in order to receive the Holy Spirit.
The lost have to come under conviction and understand in order to be saved So the natural man is without spiritual not just lost

fyi, Im also from GA, just the other end

I do not believe God sends anyone to hell.

Sure He does...He sends multitudes to hell....
mt25;

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

All who spend eternity separated from God have made a conscious choice to reject His free pardon of sin
.

Not true...many are awaiting hell right now justly on account of their sins.
many never knew about a "free pardon".

God did everything necessary for us to go to heaven
No....God saves sinners...he does not just do everything necessary..
Salvation is not potential but actual...

. We have to step over the blood of Christ to enter into hell.
Some might reject the blood of the cross...but most never hear of it, and die in their sins...

The natural man is unsaved...we are born unsaved...we need the Spirit...look here;
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

We must get the first things in order first...

Please consider Romans 1. Our Lord makes it quite clear that all are without excuse because when they knew God (The true Creator of Heaven and Earth) they glorified Him not as God but became vain in their imaginations. The flesh wants idols and a say in how they are worshipped, it does not want to acknowledge a Creator to be accountable to. So when these so called "heathens" were born, they could sense the true God, however, puberty and the their "world" learned it right out of them.

Our Lord also said that whomsoever seeks Me, shall find Me. Throughout History, those who have truly sought after the true Creator were sent His Word and the Spirit. Those that did not want to know and answer to the true Creator, made their own idols/religions. Even if it were only a handful of people truly seeking God, the Lord would and will always respond. (Lot's bargaining with God over Sodom demonstrates this same principle).

you were born as unsaved, with a time of infancy as Adam did, We are not innocent but non accountable.

We are unsaved because we are born ,

You support the narrative by showing the lost are without God. The spiritally lost are considered spiritually dead unable to restore te relationship with God. but being Human God has offered us the chance

Unless they can be saved without knowing of Jesus, which is against scripture, there is a contradiction

No friend, it is against your indoctrination but hardly against Scripture. It is the "group think" you must move away from and listen only to God's Word.

Not certain what you consider “the spiritual creation?”

Spiritual creation was when beings in Heaven were created, seraphimsm cherbims, etc. It is separate from physical creation. We know angels already existed at physical creation from Job 38:7 when angels rejoiced at creation

I need to add to my reponse to agedman,

the physical body does not sin but the soul sins , the control you mention is of the sinful being .

If i was to hit you accidently, did I sin?
If I was to swing AT you and miss, did I sin?
Yes to both of those. 'The LORD said to Moses, "When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden........"' (Leviticus 4:1 etc.).
Sin is spiritual,
Wrong.

no sin is not inherited
We inherit Adam's fallen nature and that is why we sin.
Consider:
Genesis 1:27. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.'
Genesis 5:2-3. 'When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, He called them "man."
When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.'

How much clearer do you need it?

I do not understand your point please explain. I totally agree with these verses .
Do you think you look lke God? or are you also a spiritual being , as He is?

Wrong.
