Question: Is it true that human beings are inherently
sinful due to the Fall of Man?
Response: No. Man is NOT inherently evil or good as
much of “Christian-religion” has taught. This is the lie of humanism that
promotes this false premise.
The false premise that man has capacity of both nature and character
apart from deriving such from either God or Satan.
Satan from the time of the Garden of Eden has suggested that
man could be "like God," in self-sufficiency and that man has a human
capability of self-potential independent of God.
In believing this lie, man finds himself blaming himself for
everything that is wrong, and on the other hand being capable of doing
everything that God would ask of him to do that is good. The obvious
consequence of having eaten of "the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil," man now believes he has what it takes to be good (with the help of
God or that he is evil because he is unable to do so) living life is now
dependent on man’s ability or the lack thereof.
In reality there is No inherent “human nature," for to
believe so is to promote humanism. Yet, modern Christian thought insists, that man
is the source of his problem, teaching that it is the "old nature,” or the
"sinful nature of man" that is to blame and therefore man is
responsible to fix himself (with the help of God).
This erroneous teaching effects every area of theological instruction
and as a consequence has been the basis of dysfunctional behavior in many
Christians lives.
If religionists would simply humble themselves before their
Creator and acknowledge their inability to live the Christian life (as only
Jesus Christ can) they would understand that the source of sin is derived out
of the devil (I John 3:10) and they would gladly submit themselves to God
(James 4:7) confessing what Jesus said in John 15:5, "...apart from Me you
can do nothing."
