I don’t think we’re naturally evil when we’re born though
We are born in sin, we are not born sinners
COTL will use evil deeds you did to control you for life. if you run for office, they will find something you did in the past to stop you from politically defeating evil opponents. also if you get into office, you can get blackmailed to do more evil or be exposed and become disgraced. evil hates good so if you become good, evil will try to destroy you. God wants us to grow and do what is right, but sin binds us in a slave relationship to inferior people and ideas. That can cause us to lose hope and unconsciously continue to do wrong. So bad deeds are seeds that grow into more and compromising situations. By compromise, it means you have to do what Satan wants you to do, not what's good and right.
Very true. Similar to how once you lie, you usually have to make more lies along the way to keep up with the original lie. It gets hectic and sometimes you lie so much to the point you believe in your lies & your lost. I’ve tried to be as honest as I could be in my life to avoid the mess that creates.
@everyone
NEW BIBLICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK FOLKS SORRY ITS LATE LOL
What does it mean that “All who sin are slaves to sin” ?
Because it doesnt pay to sin?
when one sin's he becomes part of the sin's work.
Good answers both of you
plenty of ppl get paid to sin 😛
Slavery is a choice, and so is sinning. Make the right choices and don’t be a slave
My take: when you sin you are influenced by the nature of evil, therefore you are no longer in control but under the oppression of sin. It just so happens that most people who experience this are completely UNAWARE and blind to their enslavement, this is why we call salvation waking up or being born again, when you abandon that nature and return to god you can finally, truly live... free.
it could mean sin is deeply embedded with sin
Are you really Free?
You can think what you want, say what you want and do what you want. We live in a free country. You decide everything yourself. Until you see a new pair of shoes in the store that you just have to have. Or your classmate says something very stupid, you just have to give a sarcastic answer to that. Or if an attractive person passes by on the beach and you have to take a look. Actually, you do not control your choices at all.
You are a slave to sin.
@JesseLee
@Maester I think you and I have the same take on it
he who sins could have a foundation of sin built in him
Right on 🤙💪
<:AMAZIN:466846070736158750> right on
Idk what does that mean? Slave to sin?
it means their foundation of beleif is ultimately influenced by sin 😛
What is a slave
Or enslavement
one who does work for another without pay
against will
if willing hten work for free all day
Forceful containment, control, or manipulation against someone’s will, typically without their ability to reject or escape
Yes satire
Pretty much
so a person who is slave to sin is inescapable of sin
When you sin, wether you realize it or not you are under the influence and control of a nature that is not your own. You would be enslaved by sin aka evil
does one sin make a person slave to sin?
Re read my first answer
You can break free of sin of course. Lol
Just like a slave can break free from their master
so the ultimately he who sins does not know sin
And yes one sin means you are enslaved by it.
It necessarily, as I stated in my original answer most people are unaware or their servitude to sin. But some aren’t
if one understood sin he would not sin
Not necessarily*
Not always.
