[ link to www.ministrymagazine.org (secure)] "Whatever happened in Eden at, and after, the Fall, the notion that we have the compulsion to sin built into our very fabric is, indeed, troubling. The expression of genes is automatic (as the color of one’s hair or the shape of one’s nose); we didn’t choose them. Thus, where we have a “sin gene,” sinful behavior could be considered an irresistible and natural product of human nature. To make matters worse, some biblical texts seem to appear to bolster the argument for sin having a genetic basis. “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, / or the leopard its spots? / Neither can you do good / who are accustomed to doing evil” (Jer. 13:23, NIV). Fortunately, this text may also be understood to say that sinful behavior has become natural, like genetically determined characteristics, that we sin so easily; that makes more sense than seeing in the text evidence for a sin gene."
