What changes to make this man..so damaged by the fall suddenly seek after God?

Not damaged.

Dead.

Let me repeat that... dead.

To say "damaged", is to throw in your lot with the Serpent.

Think about that.

The way I explain the Fall is to say that in the Fall, man did not break his little finger or even his arm. He broke his spiritual neck. The Fall was spiritually FATAL to man.

Ah, but mankind has always been religious. That's why we have so many spiritually dead sinners in our churches.
