• What led to evil initially?
• What bought evil into a perfect creation?
• Who?

• The Fall was Physical and Spiritual
• The Serpent is already showing signs of rebellion
  evil before he tempts Eve
• Evil is not just a human thing its spiritual
• This does not get man off the hook our
  rebellion followed immediately and was our choice.

HOWEVER

• We need saving from more than just ourselves
• Ephesians 6 10
• 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
  mighty power. 11Put on the full armour of God so
  that you can take your stand against the devil's
  schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh
  and blood, but against the rulers, against the
  authorities, against the powers of this dark
  world and against the spiritual forces of evil in
  the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full
  armour of God
• The world the flesh and the devil

10

• This should affect our evangelism
• Not just you are a sinner feel bad, repent
  (religion is for people afraid to go to hell)
• Instead you are bound by sin, contaminated,
  enslaved to sin its a spiritual condition
  over which you have no ultimate power
• Only a saviour can save you

'Whereof we cannot speak thereof we must remain
silent Ludwig Wittgenstein Does this mean we
can have nothing meaningful to say about the
spiritual? How is this paradox resolved.
