Cursed is the Ground

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
(Genesis 3:17) KJV

Nuclear decay began when God cursed the Earth. God’s presence is the power which maintains matter in a stable state. God can’t tolerate sin, so when sin entered the world he withdrew his presence.

May 7

Wherefore, 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:
(Romans 5:12) KJV

We’re working towards the classification of Dragons. This means that we have to understand what classification systems are and how they are derived.

Levels of Hell

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the crust, mantle, great gulf and hell.

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
(Psalms 86:13) KJV

The levels of hell aren’t what you think. However, they’re what we would expect. The Hebrews had a well developed idea of life after death. For them physical death, the grave, was a portal into a complex underworld realm: sheol.

Carnal vs. Spiritual

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
(Romans 7:14) NKJV

A major theme of the Bible, particularly the New Testament, is that we have two natures: carnal and spiritual. Even if we’re born again through faith in Jesus Christ, these two natures are at war within us.

Let Light Be

and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
(Genesis 1:3) LSV

When God said, let light be, the lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world. That’s why it went dark at the end of the first day, the second occurrence of darkness that we have to account for, called night.

Till Iniquity was Found

You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
“You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.
(Ezekiel 28:13-15) NKJV

We’re told that the anointed cherub was in Eden the garden of God. He was upon the holy mountain of God and walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire until iniquity was found in him.

The Tree of Knowledge

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Genesis 2:17) KJV

Creation was corrupted before Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden. It was created in a corrupted state in order to manifest free will. We can prove it using a process we call deductive questioning.

Sin isn’t an Accident

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
(2 Corinthians 5:17) ESV

God created the universe so that we can sin, otherwise there’s no free will, and that means God created a universe in which sin is possible. Sin isn’t an accident.

Free Will

“Now you shall say to this people, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
(Jeremiah 21:8) NKJV

There are two issues that help us to understand the reason for why we were created with free will and how this is even possible given the nature of God as pure and holy, not to mention omnipresent and omniscient.

Answer 3

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.
(Genesis 8:1) KJV

Why did God flood the world, kill everybody, start over again, yet forget to absolve Noah and his descendants of original sin? And if Noah’s family were cleansed of it, how did humanity get it back?

This question makes it clear that there’s confusion over what original sin is. Original sin is not a conceptual thing that can be removed, it set in motion a course of history which can’t be stopped or changed.
