Can you explain to this idiot what you mean? Do you mean that in order for Adam’s sin to be the first sin, it would have to have been before Satan lied to Eve?

I am not sure if I understand either. I think sin goes hand in hand with free will. God is dealing with the issue of sin in this world because it will not come into play again in eternity. God will bring us to a place where we will view sin as he does. The knowledge of good and evil is a heavy weight.

Well, you had a very good question. I was going to say that Satan’s sin would have been of a different sort as he was not created for fellowship with God in the way we are created, and that God gave the commandment to not partake to Adam alone.

So, yeah, I’d say there was sin in Satan before the sin of Adam and Eve occurred because Jesus tells us that Satan was a murderer from the beginning. But with that said, that we are to focus on the sin of man in relation to God.
