    Yes, it matters. All were created by God, originally. Man is not created by God now. He is born of man, born with a sin nature.
    The Bible specifically says that had they eaten of the fruit of the tree of Life they would have had eternal life.
    The whole human race was condemned because of his sin. Even all creation fell under the curse. Everything is in a state of decay. Nothing escapes the curse of Adam, including our bodies, and including our sinful natures. Why do we have to teach infants to tell the truth??
    "They come forth from the womb speaking lies."
    Sin was imputed to Adam, not to Eve for Eve was deceived. When God issued out punishment Eve was there and received her judgment. Eve had sinned and paid the consequence, a consequence which would fall upon all women. That in itself only bolsters the dogma of original sin and the depravity of man.
    God did judge the actions of Eve. Have you not read Genesis chapter three. I advised you to do that some time ago.
    And it was. And Eve received punishment for it.
    However, Adam's punishment was greater, and the consequences were greater. Adam was to some extent responsible for Eve. We might consider him the head of the household.
    How is it possible that you being a depraved person from birth do good? The answer is you cannot.

    The leopard had spots from his birth. It was his nature.
    The Ethiopian had black skin from his birth. It was his nature.
    They both were accustomed to their spots and skin respectively.
    Man has a depraved nature from his birth. He is accustomed to committing sin from his birth onward. He cannot do good in the sight of God that will merit him righteousness.

    Your remarks above are totally unacceptable.
    Here is what you said again in the previous post:

    And you still try to justify this Jerry??
