RE: Are People Inherently Good?

in #life7 years ago

I don't believe the question is about good or bad. It's more of pure and unpure or scarlet and white. We were all born sinners and continue to be sinners, or unpure, until we accept Christ into our lives. Once He finds us and makes us His own we are no longer sinners. Jesus is what makes us pure. So He turns our scarlet transgressions into pure white, not keeping a record of sins, and casting all our sins as far as the east is from the west. But considering the word good, I know many "good" people that are sinners. Frankly, everyone I know is a sinner. So to be good and still be a sinner is possible.

@jasonallenjames Thanks so much for sharing your insight! It's much valued and appreciated. I see where your coming from and those are very valid points. What would you say to this verse? Romans 3:10 "For there is none that is righteous, no not one."

Jesus said that there is only one person who is good and that is God Mark 10:18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone".

Thanks for sharing that verse @sueulrich ! Very insightful and full of wisdom. God bless you!
