human sinfulness


Eric Bargerhuff in The Most Misused Verses in the Bible:

At the heart of all human sinfulness is lawlessness and the prideful appeal to be our own god. To determine our own destiny. To have our own way. To throw off restrictions and doubt the integrity of God’s goodness. To doubt the trustworthiness of his Word. And all we need to do in order to start down that path is to give Scripture a new context, twist its meaning, or interpret it in a way that appeals to the supremacy and glory of man.

The serpent successfully taught Adam and Eve the dance of disobedience, and it delivered them over to death.
