Quote:the exerting of self will is not in and of itself sinfulThen you're going to have to rethink the above - aren't you? Exerting self will -in opposition to- gods will, is what you probably meant to say there. If I was exerting my own self will with no reference or knowledge of gods will - over gods will- it wouldn't be sinful.
Quote:but only becomes sin when it rebels against the will of someone in greater authorityRight, so, pretty much what I just stated - that self will gives you the ability to sin, not that you sin -because- you have self will. Right?
