Do We Have a Sin Nature?

 

At the recent men’s national championship basketball game

In Houston, TX the Astronauts who plan to fly back to the

Moon in August 2024 were introduced.

 

I read an article by Michael Foust on Christian Headlines about

Victor Glover one of the astronauts chosen for this mission.

I was encouraged to learn he is a man of faith and has actively

Expressed that in his work for NASA.

 

I want to share an excerpt with you from the article.

 

(Jesus, he said, is the answer to the world’s problems.

“We have a sin nature and we need Jesus,” he said.

“Jesus is that bridge that spans sin and gives us a chance

Of going to heaven.”)

– Victor Glover

 

I agree with everything he says here but his comment …

 

“We have a sin nature…

 

I do not agree with his concept of sin.

 

Humans are not born in sin.

 

To say we have a sin nature is the doctrine of Calvinism.

 

God made man pure and upright in His image in his likeness

He did not make us sinners.

 

Gen.1:26-27

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according

to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [all the earth

and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

 

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God

He created him; male and female He created them.

 

Eccl.7:29

Truly, this only I have found:
That God made man upright,
But they have sought out many schemes.”

 

Rm.5:12

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world,

And death through sin, and thus death spread to all men,

Because all sinned—

 

Because of Adam’s disobedience sin and death were the

Consequences and death spread to mankind because we

Chose to disobey and transgress God’s commandments.

 

Rm.3:23

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 

We do not have a sin nature at birth.

We become sinners when we disobey God.
