Please be civil and present scripture proof. Personal opinions are just that. If you bring popcorn be willing to share. And please don't derail.
1. Did God create man with a sin nature.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Ecc 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
God created Adam in the image that He would reveal in the future, an innocent nature in flesh, and the image of God is the image of Christ, and Adam was made in the likeness of Christ.
But they had a choice, and that is why the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was in the garden, the only tree they could not eat of.
But it would of never entered their mind to eat of the tree unless an outside source tempted them besides the tree alone, for they knew of no other reality for it was not presented to them.
So God allowed Satan to tempt Eve which she told him that they could not eat of the tree, and stood firm.
But then Satan tempted her by giving her an alternate reality concerning the tree that they would be like gods, which God did not reveal that information to them, and possibly that God could not touch them in their exalted position.
So Eve sinned, and then she was the outside source that tempted Adam and he sinned.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
The angels were created perfect in their ways until they rebelled, so they also had a choice.
God did not create people, or angels with a sin nature.
Which the angels always behold the face of the Father for the little ones, for we are born with an innocent nature, and all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, for when we do the act of sin then we fall short of the glory of God.
We are not blamed for the sin of Adam and Eve, and it does not come upon us for everybody will bear their own sin, but when they sinned they then had a choice, so we are born with a choice, so we are born not knowing God, so all people will sin before they come to the truth and know God.
2. Does God view sin different if we are tricked by the devil. vrs listening to another.
There is no difference whether Satan tempts us, and we are deceived, or people tempt us, and we are deceived, for it is still our choice to make sure we know the truth, and to make decisions between right and wrong.
The only time that people do not have a choice anymore is when they follow the man of sin in the future, for it is a strong delusion, and all people that do not love righteousness will be given strong delusion to follow the beast, which they will be deceived by a devil when they are cast to earth, and it becomes their holding cell, and the human will is gone to make a choice, and they will have a nature of a devil.
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro(advanced travel), and knowledge shall be increased(advanced technology).
Dan 12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
People can understand in the end time for they can see, hear, and know of what is going on in the earth, and how it is possible for the world to come together, which they will rebel against God.
Technology, and evolution, is the cause of why the world rebels against God.
Because of evolution, and the science community, saying we evolved, it caused the occult, and nature worship people to look at reality differently in which they believe we can still evolve to be greater, and spiritual, an ascended master, and avatar like the man Jesus, who do not acknowledge any God, but honors the God of forces, or the power of nature as their higher power.
So the occult is setting about to establish a kingdom based on their beliefs, and to produce the New Age Christ so they can evolve.
None of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand so God has to be working in their life, and even Jehovah's witnesses understand who deny the deity of Jesus, and that is because many are called but few are chosen.
