In the book of Genesis, God creates humans and calls his creation "very good."
Yet, Peter's description of false prophets, Peter remarks that human nature is sinful.
What does God mean when he describes humans as "very good", if they are essentially sinful as 2 Peter 2:18 says?
God saw all that he had made, <b>and it was very good.</b>
<i>Genesis 1:31, NIV</i>
Yet, Peter's description of false prophets, Peter remarks that human nature is sinful.
For they <i>[the false prophets]</i> mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of <b>sinful human nature</b>, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
<i>2 Peter 2:18, NIV</i>
