“All criminality is the product of human volition. Criminals are not criminals because of their environment, but because of the function of their volition in relationship to the trends of the old sin nature. “
Is it not true that whether or not an act is a criminal act depends on the environment in which the act is committed?
We can’t claim lack of perfect environment causes us to fall.
All 3 times Satan is recorded in Scripture as falling, occurs from a perfect environment.
From Heaven, from the Garden of Eden, and after being loosed after the Millennium.
Temptation isn’t the sin, but the exercise of volition independent of God is the sin. When the sin violates legitimate authority it violates the righteous justice of that authority, hence criminal.
