The Trichotomy of the "Original" Sin.

1 John 2:16. In this text, John divides "sin" into three distinct categories: The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. If we consider all the sins we know, we can fit them into one of those three categories. Going back to the beginning, literally speaking, we can see clearly what John is talking about in the first "human" sin, the so called "original" sin: Genesis 3:6, good for food (lust of the flesh), pleasant to the eyes (lust of the eyes), desirable to make one wise (pride of life). I had this question for a long time: Why does the Bible call the "original" sin, Adam's Sin? Shouldn't it be called Adam and Eve's Sin, since was Eve who took the first bite? Well, if Moses wrote Genesis chronologically, then Eve didn't exist when God commanded Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: Genesis 2:16-17. I have a question for you: Do you know what satan said when he was thrown out of heaven? "I'm gonna get EVEn Adam!". Just a joke. But even if Moses didn't describe the "creation" chronologically, meaning, Eve already existed when God gave Adam the commandment, still God gave to Adam the authority over everything, Adam was the "decision maker", he was to blame for eating the fruit, sin entered the world through him: Romans 5:12; Romans 5:19. We can associate the lust of the flesh with body, the lust of the eyes with soul and the pride of life with spirit, since we are made of body, soul and spirit, sin will always appeal to one of them! If we want to live a holy life (apart from sin), we must put on the whole armor of God: Ephesians 6:11. We must have the fruit of the Spirit: Galatians 5:22-24. We must be careful of what we see. Matthew 6:22. When i started writing this post, i thought trichotomy only meant: division into three parts or categories. But at the end, i was making sure that i was writing trichotomy correctly and found this: In theology and in philosophy related to it, trichotomy is the belief that man consists of three parts; a body, soul, and spirit.
Conclusion: 1 Corinthians 6:19; Psalm 23:3; Psalm 51:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
