So which came first evil or the man?

evil's a judgemental point of view on a point of view

therefore since man judges....man came first.

but since man comes first...man cannot be inherently evil 😎

What the hell............god created an evil persona with thoughts and actions..????

Man created what we would call evil...................

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day

I don't understand the idea that men are inherently evil. I don't feel like researching the scripture references, so if someone wants to share their views on the subject feel free, although I might disagree 😛

Uhh..i think you left out the rest of the story..like ya know..the whole "tree of knowledge good/evil" thing... 🙂

Yeah, but man was a good creation, did the tree make the creation evil?

Nah, the choice that the creation made made the creation evil..😉

and so Adam's son was evil because his father made a poor choice?

Yes...because god is forgiving 😕

So he had to make a choice between two things, which were (to him) neither wrong nor right?

Considering that he hadn't yet eaten from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, he didn't know that obeying God and not eating would be good. Neither did he know that eating from the tree was bad. Can it really be a sin if he didn't know it was wrong?

In fact, was there a choice at all? Adam didn't know the consequences of his action either way, and nor did he know that any action was right or wrong.

* yes, but the truth is, there is no "original sin" that was inherited by every child born from Adam and Eve... another false doctrine from Catholic church... 😉

Must not have read Romans 5:18 lately. 🙄

Im confused are we discussing from the christian point of view is Man inherentley evil?

Or from the scientific point of view?

From the christian yes, because there born with orignal sin.

From the scientific no, because evil is only a word a point of view.

It is the Christian one. I was responding to another post, and it got a bit scientific.

Yes, all human suffering has occured do the the fact that a man ate an apple
