Title: Act of Obedience (5)
Series: Original Sin
Author: Stephen Whitney
Text: Genesis 6:5-22
In 2000 the downfall of Cheng Kejie, former vice chairman of China's parliament, was very public. The legislator was convicted of taking $5 million in bribes to fund an adulterous fling with his mistress and gambling trips. In reporting the death of the most senior Communist Chinese official ever executed on charges of corruption, state television took the unusual step airing his tense courtroom confession.
His execution was at the center of a massive anticorruption campaign that included investigations into 23,000 graft cases.
As many as 200 local and national officials are accused in a multibillion-dollar scam to evade tariffs on imported cars, oil and luxury goods. This case was explosive because of the breath of the accusations, which stretched from the local level to the national customs and security services.
Puritan Richard Alleine - "Some say that the devil has a cloven (divided or split) foot; but whatever the devil's foot be, be sure his sons have a cloven heart."
We sin because we were born with a sinful nature.
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity.
NIV - Surely I was sinful at birth.
CONTINUAL VIOLENCE :5-6, 11-13
Thoughts :5-6
Wickedness (663x) - Heb. evil (442x) key word for any kind of sin.

Intention (KJB imagination) - Heb. concept or purpose.
Gen. 8:21 The intention of man's heart is evil from his youth.
Every thought was evil all the time; there was nothing good.
God found extreme wickedness universally prevailing on the earth.
