When Jesus "took away" your sin, did He leave behind the source, the sin nature?

Choosing IS FREEWILL!



So?

The female took the fruit, from the tree, with her hand.
Then…
The female ate. Said it was GOOD, and offered the fruit to Adam.
Then…
Adam made his own FREEWILL choice to TAKE the “fruit” from the females hand.


Glory to God,
Taken
Woman deceived Adam and did not tell him where it came from and there is only one Will and that's the Father's will. Man has choices. You can choose good or evil in all things, but you should ask for God's will in all things.

Disagree.
Satan, was cast to Earth, (for his belief Against God.) Satan was ON Earth, Before man was created.
The Garden of Eden was made after the earth was made. Ezekiel 28 shows Lucifer in Eden before he sinned.
Not a “theory”. Verified in Scripture.
God purposed “IN” “ Himself…
God “prepared a body”, for Gods purpose to be fulfilled.
+
No.
Conceived is to become pregnant.
Mary was MADE to be Pregnant in her Womb, Via the Seed of God being SENT to her Womb.
And that SEED (of God) IS Christ.
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

This is made up. No where does it say that Eve purposely deceived Adam. Adam was WITH her. Eve unintentionally sinned in ignorance, because if it was deception that would have been a willful sin and she would have seen her own nakedness. It wasn't until Adam sinned, not unintentionally as if he had been deceived as you made up, but willfully sinned against God, Himself. Only after Adam's WILLFUL sin, did they both see they were naked and mankind's nature became sinful like Satan's deceptive first sin in Eden with Eve. This is why even the serpent was cursed.

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

You proclaim new false doctrines in nearly every post.

Both Adam and Eve willfully sinned against the command to not eat fruit of the forbidden tree. They both knew the command and they both sinned anyway. Eve was not sinning in any ignorance.

Bible does not say it was only when Adam ate that their eyes were opened to their nakedness. They both ate and both had opened eyes. Eve’s eyes were opened when she ate, same with Adam.

Genesis 3

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Woman, took, ate, offered Adam, he took ate.
I am not suspect that Adam did not know what the fruit looked like they were warned to Avoid.
Adam could have refused, he freely took the fruit.
As well… as they were being sent out of the garden, they passed by the tree of life and could have reached out and took and ate from that tree… but didn’t.

Glory to God,
A spiritual mystery that any can choose to come to know.

Vague. Could you identify the verse you speak of?

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

Yes. The woman was conceived, (not Jesus),
Conceived, means Pregnant.

What is your point?

To me, your point was that Mary didn't conceive, she was "made" to be pregnant (like it wasn't her egg.) Isn't that what you meant? It sure reads like you did.

“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.

14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.

Think, man! Did Eve know the difference between good and evil before she ate the fruit as you are implying? No! That is the point of the TREE! Satan willfully lied to Eve, his first sin, but Eve had never heard of what an evil lie was so believed the serpent, ate, and gave to her husband who was with her. God told Adam, so his sin was against God, Himself, and why they only had their eyes opened after Adam's WILLFUL SIN. Because their eyes were not opened as soon as Eve took a bite meant God told the command to Adam only. Adam, not God personally, instructed Eve.

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,
Gen 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Told to Adam, Eve was not created yet.

Note the red isn't what God said to Adam, Eve added that.

Adam had the responsibility to teach Eve properly, apparently he did not.

Then you are saying the Apostle Paul is a liar? Remember Jesus taught the Apostle Paul. If Paul says Adam was deceived it had to be so.

Eve knew that God commanded not to eat the forbidden fruit. She told the serpent what God’s commanded was, though she added to it.

She willfully ate it, then gave it to Adam, who also willfully ate it. They both knew they should obey God.

The serpent’s first sin was rebelling against God, wanting to be God.

Genesis 3

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

One of the problems with this is the misinterpretation that in trusting Jesus we can pretend we are righteous. That is not reality. The truth is more like, knowing that Jesus will take away all DESIRE to sin because the Word says so, then start trusting Jesus to do it and He will. Once clean, THEN you can reckon yourself free of sin, because you are and it is not pretend. I actually felt the heaviness of sin leave my body. I don't know if that happens to everyone who is born again. Maybe, my particular sin just weighed a lot. I know I couldn't lift it out of me. I was trapped.
My husband and I have not had your experience (we still get tempted) but we both agree that not sinning is the way were supposed to walk as Christians and then go on to maturity and perfection. It's a lot easier when believing its possible. Blessings to you.

Yes.

To me, your point was that Mary didn't conceive, she was "made" to be pregnant

Yes.

(like it wasn't her egg.)

Correct.
Mary’s “egg” was not “fertilized” by the seed of God.
A human Female “egg” that is “fertilized” by a male “seed” is called “conception”.
Nothing Scripturally notifies us Gods Seed fertilized Mary’s Egg.
Conception takes place in a females Fallopian tubes… not her womb.
Mary was conceived…(meaning pregnant in her Womb).
It is adding to Scripture what is NOT there, to claim Gods Seed fertilized Mary’s egg, and produced and a freakish…part human / part spirit offspring….
Which by the Way, some angels DID…
And it was an abomination..
AND the offspring were freakishly Huge…
Which DID not apply to Jesus.

Not in dispute, Lucifer was created …
With great attributes…beauty, talent, power…
He was present in the Beginning…
Watching, Observing, God Creating the Heavens, the Earth, the Animals, the plants, humans…

Now turning to “the Heavens”…
There are…
* The lower heavens, where the clouds are, and men can climb mountains, soar in jets, and be in the mist of the lower heavens.
* the second heavens, beyond, where the stars are, which represent the angels estate (like Earth is a humans Estate).
* and higher up, the Third Heaven, called Gods Throne. A place prepared for “departed” ( from their body) saved souls and spirits of man to be with God.
* and The Heaven Above the Heavens… Gods Estate, where No created being has Access.

When, in the Beginning God was Creating…
Lucifer “thought in his heart ( truth )… HE could rise up Above God, which is to make himself, Greater than God.

That thought / Belief…was a Lie.
That Belief… in effect was Lucifer, KILLING the Truth.

It was THEN, Lucifer, was called Satan, the Devil, a Serpent, a MURDERER and cast Down to Earth.

What Lucifer “WAS”… his “perfection” became Tainted… and iniquity superseded, his beauty, talent, power.

Isa 14:
[12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
[13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

John 8:
[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

If I should choose to call Paul a liar… it should be me making such a statement for me… NOT you speaking for me.

If I have made such statements, you can thus respond…
Don’t speak for me.

It is your statement that speaks for you. The Apostle Paul says Adam was deceived. I have to trust what the Apostle Paul says as much as all his letters.

And what of the flesh? If we are to crucify the flesh daily, by implication, the flesh is still very much alive. Paul made claims to a clear conscience, he also made it quite clear that there was a law in his members that when he desired to do good, evil was ever present.

The body of death he called it.

The soul and spirit have been divided, but they remain housed within the same body of flesh. Treasure in an earthen vessel.

As long as the spirit and soul of man is housed in this body of death, we will continue to sin.

Yes, and that is why the Hyper-Grace movement that wrongly teaches those in Christ cannot sin anymore are simply heeding a doctrine of man, and not what God's Word says.

[/QUOTE]

So?
Did I say, Adam was not Deceived?
Uh no!
So stop false accusing!

Adam made a FREEWILL choice to take and eat the fruit the woman offered.

The deception, is WHY Adam freely chose to Eat what he was offered.

The woman’s Deception, was saying the Fruit was… “GOOD”…

God said, Avoid that fruit.
The Devil, Deceived The Woman.
The Woman freely took and ate.
The Woman deceived Adam.
Adam freely took and ate.

The Woman’s choice, Adams choice …
Does NOT CHANGE the Fact, both Adam and the Woman Knew, God said to Avoid that Fruit…
AND, by Choosing to NOT trust God, above all others…
There are dire negative consequences.

The SAME continues to this day…
Intentional LIES
Intentional THEFTS
Intentional CHEATING
Intentional PRETENDING children can CHOOSE their “gender”.
On and On.

FREEWILL choices, of men, women, children by deception of Trusting others Instead of God.

Trusting God is the Lesson!
Trusting humans over God is the Deception.
