1 | All have Sinned ( Men and Women) | Rom 3:23 | disciplerami | 75847 | ||
Words have meaning. "Legally they were condemned." I challenge this statement. What you propose is illegal. God does not do illegal things. God is the author of everything good and He is a righteous judge. No one should say that God condemns one man for the sins of another. That is not the message of the Bible. "Wages of sin is death" This is a different matter. Paul is saying the wages of my sin is death, what I earn for my sin against God is spiritual death. But what I get through faith in Jesus Christ is forgiveness, the free gift. Have a good day. |

2 | All have Sinned ( Men and Women) | Rom 3:23 | Robert Nicholson | 75882 | ||
disciplerami: "For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life". Romans 5:17-18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath no believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18) "By the offense of one (Adam)judgment came upon all men" This is not my idea, this is what God says in his word in many different ways. It is God who finds all the world "guilty" Romans 3:19 It is God through Paul who writes "We have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin" Rom. 3:9 The Lord Jesus reminds that those who have not believed on him are "condemned already" John 3:18 In the state which we were born we are already found guilty. Our sinful nature proves itself in our actions "There is none that understandeth, there is none which seeketh after God" Rom. 3:11 If God were to leave us alone we would remain in our guilty state throughout our life and would die condemned. This is where the grace of God comes in and even though we are undeserving of such love, he works within our hearts by his Spirit and many who were guilty are justified (cleared of all guilt) through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the reason I used the word "legally". Adam had broken God's law and as such plunged the entire human race into a place of condemnation before God. In contrast, the Lord Jesus Christ in his obedience even to the death of the cross has brought life and justification to those who believe. |

Greetings, You keep quoting the verse, but you misunderstand it. "For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life". One man's sin only introduced the sin, Just as one man's righteousness (Jesus) introduced righteousness. Man is only saved through Jesus by following Him. Man is only lost in Adam by following him. Neither sin from the one nor life from the other are automatic, man must act by his free will. Unless you are willing to say that all men were saved at the moment of Jesus death, then you cannot press the analogy of Adam any further. If I followed Adam, and I did, then in Adam I die. If I followed Christ, and I did, then his righteousness is mine. There is no question that God uses legal terms to depict judgment and righteousness and sin. He is the lawgiver, and we are found guilty when we transgress it. The reckoning of God is a calling to account. Hopefully we shall not be found wanting on that final day. But the way you use 'legally' is not Biblical because it suggests that God's nature would allow one man's unrighteousness to be put to another man's account. That is not legal on earth and it is not legal in heaven. God is fair. The only sin you have to worry about is your own. Thanks for the response. Good day. |
