Where in the Bible does it say our natural inclination is to reject God?

Thanks... Am at work but will check it out when I return home...
Have a pocket Bible in my bag... But only the NT...
Hope you are well today...
Edit: Are you sure that is the right verse?
As much as I agree concerning marriage and sexual relations, I am somewhat confused how it applies to the discussion...

I have the KJV at home...
Pocket one was a gift...
Have a couple of others as well....
Don't use them that often...
The Chinese one is interesting... Sometimes reading in a different language offers different insights...
Are you sure it was Proverbs 5 you meant?

Yes it tells of man wickedness as do many other scriptures and warnings against immorality which are a direct intention of rebellion of God !

Agreed...
But is the rebellion natural?
Were we created to rebel against God?

Yes rebellion is natural as we have free will to do what we want and many times mankind has proven he is an enemy to God ! Even at times the very ones that follow God can slip into a rebellious mood !
NO NO NO NO we were not created to rebel against God we were created to have fellowship with God !

Somewhat contradictory...
We were not created to rebel, but it is natural to rebel...
Perhaps we are working with different definitions of the word "natural"?

Outstanding post! Some seed falls on poor soil and some on good soil. Sow good seeds (truth) and don't get discouraged when you're attacked, just count it as a blessing and keep praising the only one who is worthy of praise.

Is it just me or is there a bad spirit in some of these questions?

Somewhat contradictory.. Nope none in the least !
Mankind's nature to rebel came when God gave mankind free will after the fall and not before !
Are you sure you aren't looking for loopholes so you can do what you wish instead of what God asks of you ? ? ?

I think the witches and warlocks are out today. Wondered who all the new people were. Satan had to call in reinforcements.
