Okay we have been taught that Eve ate the fruit and sin entered, but lie was already there before Eve take the fruit... Snake lied to her. That Snake wasn't in the garden right?
So my question is did the fall of lucifer took place before creation?
Hi Pamela,
As far as who sinned by rebelling against God first, that was the serpent, who was Satan.
However, what brought the curse upon humanity were the sins of Adam and Eve. That's where sin originated in mankind..
It is refered to as original sin. Here's a good passage to think over from Romans 5.
"
12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15But not as the offence, so also
is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many."
Since our grandfather Adam sinned, we are born with a sin nature that desires to sin.
It is passed down somehow through the fathers.
We all sin by choice.
However we cannot atone for our sins.
Therefore we are condemned to death.
Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:14, 21:8
Jesus made the complete atonement for all sins..
...He was the Lamb without spot or blemish...no sin. He was punished and died so that we don't have to suffer and die in hell.....IF we receive that free gift by grace of everlasting life..
Great News!..( Link)
