We're not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.

Paul says that our sin and corruption isn't because we have desires... we are corrupt according to deceiving desires.

God views the sealed vessels sinful nature in us as already dead. All we have to do is stop the sinful nature from acting like he's still alive and king.

God didn't create lucifer evil, He created Him with the capacity to be evil.
Just as He created man, and gave man the freedom that is the necessary precondition to love and devotion freely given.

But that precondition allows the misuse of freedom, which produces sin. All we like sheep have gone astray, we've turned everyone to our own way.....

Sin is when we want God to approve what we want, not what He wants. Most peoples problem is they want God to approve their will.

Im a sinner, saved by Grace through faith. And the old man is still there to be dealt with constantly.

Sin starts with desire, and desire brings forth Sin. And Sin leads to death.

Sin is always the prostitution of right. Taking the truth, and using it in an untrue way.

We don't have saving faith if the outward man dominates our perspective.

The sinful nature feeds on corruption.
