A Conversation
Why a Perfect Man Could
Sin
Betty: Good morning Gabrielle, I am back
as I promise you.
Gabrielle: Good morning too, I am glad you are back, could you explained
to me “Why a perfect man would sin.’
Betty: Very good question! Have you tried reading
the Bible about it?
Gabrielle: No!
Betty: Let us find out to start with, we
need to have a correct Bible understanding of what is perfect? Look Gabrielle
not everything called perfect is to be understood in an absolute sense.
Absolute perfection belongs only to God Jehovah. Other perfections are
relative, like the perfect creation of the first man Adam. We can read it at
Genesis 1:27, 31
Gabrielle: Read Genesis 1:27, 31
Betty:
Jehovah’s pronouncement of his
creations on earth including the man Adam to be very good man of all His
creations “Measured up to His Perfect Standards.” Adam was created in God’s
image with perfect intelligence and free will. As a perfect man, does that mean
they cannot commit mistake?
Gabrielle: I do not know
Betty: Man was created with free will; He
was given the ability to choose between right and wrong, between obedience and
disobedience, to make moral decisions. Their obedience would not be automatic
but they obey because they love Jehovah God. The bible say that at 1 John 5:3
Gabrielle: Read 1 John 5:3, If God’s commandments are not burdensome why
then Adam and Eve disobeyed when in fact they are perfect.
Betty: Wise question, although perfect
their physical bodies would not function perfectly if not nourish with proper
food. So with the mind if feed with wrong thoughts would cause moral
deterioration, unholiness according to James 1: 14.15
Gabrielle: Read James 1:14,15
Betty: In the case of Eve instead of turning away
from the serpent she listened with interest to what the serpent was saying that
developed in her the desire to taste the fruit upon staring at the fruit the
desire become stronger then fertilized so she pick one fruit eat it then gave
to her husband Adam. In turn instead of Adam rejecting the offer of his wife
Eve, he joined her in eating the fruit. Gabrielle what do you think was the
result?
Gabrielle: They got old, sick then eventually died.
Betty: Can you see now the reason why
perfect man and Eve sin?
Gabrielle: Thanks a lot for clearing my thoughts now I understand why a
perfect Man would sin.
Betty: I am very glad you do understand.
Gabrielle, would you like to know more on what the Bible say about our future?
Gabrielle: Yes, you can come on weeks
ends.
