Oops Of the Day

Those people in Noah’s day thought about sin all the time. 

I would never do that.  I am not evil.

Genesis 6:5-6; Genesis 2:16-17; Matthew 15:17-20

OOPS:  Evil is worse than ordinary sins.  Only murderers, rapists, thieves and abusers are evil.  Most people are not evil.  

FACT: Eve ate a piece of fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil; therefore, she became evil.  Jesus listed things in Matthew 15 that were sins from an evil heart.  Here is a list of sins – bad we do.  (It does not include sins of good we do not do.)
