Fathers' sins
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Am I really responsible for the sins of my father? Does my fathers sins make me a sinner? Am I condemned because of my father sins? What say ye , those who blame Adam for everything? Is inherited sin guilt real?"
Do you think God knew that Adam would sin?
"Sure He did. Adam is not the downfall of sinners."
How did his sin affect the world?
"...Physical death is possible through Adam."
What else?
"...This sinful condition affect humanity..."
How?

"A way of sin in which we can choose to participate or not."
There wasn't a way of or to sin prior to The Fall?
"Sin was present here before Adam. Sin entered humanity at Adams sin. He was not the first sinner. He was the first physical being to sin."
In what other ways did
it affect the world?
"Pain at childbirth, man has to work sweat of the brow to make a living, etc. Gen 3"
Anything else?
[The First Sin by Troy Lacey ] "...What is
still mans most prevalent sin? Little has
changed since the Fall. Man is still a
creature consumed with pride. We read in
Romans 1:1821
the current condition of mankind:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness; Because that which may be
known of God is manifest in them; for God
has showed it unto them. For the invisible
things of Him from the creation of the world
are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even His eternal power
and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse: Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was
darkened.
Why does mankind suppress the truth? Why
does he not glorify God? Why is he
unthankful? Why is his imagination vain and
his heart darkened? Because he does not
glorify God as God. Mankind wants to glorify
himself as God..." Full text:

Fall into Sin
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Sin is missing the mark."
That's right. Yet,
tomlapalm seems unwilling to discuss God's
holiness and our sinfulness. What did sin do
to this world? Who is Jesus? Why are we
worth his blood? Why did he die for us?
He claims to be a Christian. Pray
tell--based on what?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Satan was created evil and is not "fallen". In other words Satan was created to do the job that he does..."
Lucifer was created
perfect. Sin was found in him.
"...[H]e was perfect until the time that
iniquity was found in him and that iniquity
was pride and that caused him to fall from
heaven.
So, Satan is not self-existent. He was
created good, he fell. And since that first
rebellion against God, he has been in a
constant never-ending rebellion against
God..." Full text:
