It is entirely irrational to believe that a sin-hating God would not make complete provisions for the creation He loves to live free from sin.Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil. 1John 3:8Christ was manifested to take away our sins. 1John 3:5The indwelling Holy Spirit works in us to live actually and literally righteous. Heb 13:21To say a Christian cannot live free from sin is to completely degrade the cleansing power of Jesus' blood! 1John 1:7To say total holiness is an impossibility, while total depravity is clearly possible, is to give the devil more power then God!If we say that we cannot stop sinning, the devil get's the glory.But if we say we can do all things through Christ, and can therefore stop sinning, Jesus Christ get's the glory!2Ti 4:18 - And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Amen brother!It is the word of God, therefore it is true.
What corrupted adam and eve? Was it the sin of disobedience? It was the knowledge of good and evil that corrupted them. Their eyes were opened to good and evil, the law written on their heart, their conscience. The only way to destroy sin would be to destroy the conscience. That's impossible. It might become caliced and hard but it's still there. The feeling may be gone but it's still there.By the law is the knowledge of sin. A little child is innocent because it cannot dicern good from evil. Once our eyes are opened, the knowledge of good and evil, we die to God.Jesus payed for all sin. All have been reconciled in the fathers eyes. It's our choice to die in our sins or except the payment for sin, Jesus. If we choose to die in our sins, we face the white throne judgement.

hi,could it have been the rejection of the tree of life which was also in the garden? we will never have eternal life until we come to the cross of Christ(tree of life).the knowledge of good and evil (religion... works) is the way that exalts man and dooms him at the same time. jimp
