I would not have known sin if it wasn't for the commandment.

you might not know sin but you would still do it. with the commandments also came the blessing that if we confess and repent of our sins Jesus will forgive and heal us.


fire???? the fuel is the fruits of the flesh:

Galatians 5

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[c] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,[d] drunkenness, revelries, and the like;


the world just burns with those evils.

I was alive once before the commandment. Not that anything I did was any less good or any more evil. Sin is not imputed when there is no law. It indeed works in the flesh, but without the law, sin is POWERLESS. It is dead.

Will not it be more tolerable for them in the day of judgement then those that are after? Cain was cursed also before the law came. The question is of what law are we talking about. The royal law is eternal and summed up in love. And though they broke these spirit laws, how is it IMPUTED when no God spoke it?

The Law was always there. although maybe not specifically mentioned in the Bible. for if no law existed, then how could Lucifer have sinned? and if he never sinned, why was he thrown out of heaven? so by that logic, we should be able to conclude that the law was always in place.

with regard to the sin. James 1 says:
"13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does He tempt any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

i think it is the mind,not only the human mind but also the angels.
God created the mind,but also gave us consience after adam and eve sinned:but what about the angels, have they got consience?
did lucifer knew that he was sinning? did he knew what is good and what is evil? was there wickedness in heaven, before the earth was created? obviously there was,because satan is the accuser of his bretheren,accusing man day and night. like the case with job. he obviously had a plan in his mind,that gave birth to evil.the more advance the mind,the greater evil it can create;animals for instance,can not plan evil,because their brains are programmed to do certain tasks. the human mind that is evil has a wire connected to satan, and he presses the buttons. a righteous mind has a wire connected to God, and God will guide.then satan comes and tries to disconect the wire: thats the reason Jesus said,you must be like little children,submit to God totally: it is the mind, where all the ideas come from, some good; some bad. without the mind i think evil can not exist. what is your opinion?

sorry chips; but if you read rev.12:5 you will see that satan was cast out of heaven after the child was(christ) was caught up to God.(resurected)

conscience came after eve ate of the fruit:satan obviously has conscience before that,
it was given to him when he was created. because the angels were like God.

There are several.
I would first see condemnation, realising ones own sin, thus bringing separation, fear.
But self , flesh , want can be destructive as well.
It may also be not what one has, but does not have, trust, childlike faith, hope and love !
But, I have seen how condemnation brings the most separation, that is why Jesus said, "I do not come to condemn the world, but to save it!"

In Jesus, God bless.

amen pickles, and self condemnation is the best burning fuel the devil has to keep us reaching where and what seeks for us to be and do for Him.
