quote:
When man first sinned, he separated himself from God and was bound to a sin nature. This was passed down to us. Before you are regenerated, you have no choice but to do evil. The path to sin is the only option. But the believer is reconciled to God through the punishment of Jesus, and he is left with two options: the path to sin and the path to good. Yet even at this point, no good is possible without God's Spirit.
That is true. When man is born he has a desire to live without an authority figure. Also he enjoys being independent. When he decides to put God out of his life, he is already living in sin. We have no choice but to bow-down to God, because he made us, thus owns us
(Matthew 10:28). Humanistic/athiestic philosophy is the result of sin. Because it encourages mankind to reject God and the existence of a God, because they believe man is in charge of destiny. This form of thinking can seem intelligent, but not if God DOES exists.
