Some people say “I was born a sinner.” Others say, “People are born good.” Experience of the 20th century alone shows that even the nicest people, given the right circumstances, will cede their authority to evil. This is the definition of being born a sinner. And this is only one example.
James 1:13-15 (MSG) 13-15 Don’t let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, “God is trying to trip me up.” God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one’s way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer.
