In Essentials Unity, In Non-essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity

BR: But the question is more to the "inherited sinful nature" that you admit that we get from birth. Where do you find the Bible speaking to that inherited desire to sin that we all have and telling us "how strong it is"?

HP: Did I miss your explanation as to what a sinful nature means to you, how we get it and what it consists of? I do not desire to talk past each other on such an important issue. Thanks.

You explained clearly what you think it is - but you did not say where you found it in scripture.

I want to know what scripture you consider to be speaking to the subject of the inherited sinful nature - sinful desires and the strength of it.

in Christ,

Bob

The age of accountability is when one knows right from wrong due to their intrinsic values apart from punishment or rewards.

James 4:17 "To him that KNOWS to do right and does it not to him it is SIN" seems to account for that in some way-

But the wicked are not "morally pure enough" to know the full intrinsic value of good nor the depth of evil as God sees it - yet they are accountable for sin.

in Christ,

Bob
