Is man basically good or basically evil?
• Ecclesiastes 7:29 – “See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.” • Romans 5:7-8 – For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. • Romans 5:12,19 – sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned… by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners c.f.
