1 | Christ brings life: Adam brought death | Rom 5:12 | Chuck Thompson | 135488 | ||
Rom. 5:8 says "God demonstated his own love for us in this:While we were still sinners. Christ died for us. Christs death brings new life when a person believes on Him as their Savior. Romans 5:12 seems to be saying that Adam plunged the race of man into eternal death and sin. Do you believe that Rom. 5:12 contrasts Rom. 5:8 especially with the last phrase which says all have sinned because the rebellion of Adam? | ||||||
2 | Christ brings life: Adam brought death | Rom 5:12 | Emmaus | 135491 | ||
Chuck Thompson, Hope this is of some help. NAB footnote on Romans 5:12-21 "Paul reflects on the sin of Adam (Genesis 3:1-13) in the light of the redemptive mystery of Christ. Sin, as used in the singular by Paul, refers to the dreadful power that has gripped humanity, which is now in revolt against the Creator and engaged in the exaltation of its own desires and interests. But no one has a right to say, "Adam made me do it," for all are culpable (Romans 5:12): Gentiles under the demands of the law written in their hearts (Romans 2:14-15), and Jews under the Mosaic covenant. Through the Old Testament law, the sinfulness of humanity that was operative from the beginning (Romans 5:13) found further stimulation, with the result that sins were generated in even greater abundance. According to Romans 5:15-21, God's act in Christ is in total contrast to the disastrous effects of the virus of sin that invaded humanity through Adam's crime." http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/romans/romans5.htm Emmaus |
