I believe the reason we are born with sinful tendencies is because of Adam and Eve sinning. That is just my personal opinion. We do have free will and it is our decision to make. I still tell my children, "Every day when you get up you have one of two choices to make - you can do what is right, or you can do what is wrong. If you choose to take the wrong path, don't blame God for the potholes!"
Well said!

I believe that as Adam and Eve had a choice then all humanity is given the right to choose. Some choose bad and some choose good but that's just how God has planned for us to be. The devil was just presented to the humans from God as God decided to give us free will. We have the opportunity to choose between doing good or choosing evil and we pay for our choices later.

Well said.Reubeney wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 17:51 I also think we are born with original sin due to the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden which made the whole human generation sinful. But thanks for the gift of His son who redeems anyone who makes a choice to believe in Him. So I believe it all goes back to the issue of using our own free will to make a decision to believe or not. To do the right or not.

I think people are different. If a divine creation like Lucifer could stray then why could humans not be held to the same fate?
It depends on how each individual will perceive the word of God. Some may follow it without question and hesitation. Sometimes obedience breeds contempt in other people.
