"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." --Psalm 51:5 "But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. --Romans 5:15-19 Here we see the comparison between Adam and Christ. Very emphatically Paul presents the truth that our sinful nature is inherited by ONE trangression, that of Adam. Sin comes to us through Adam's sin; grace comes to us through Christ's sinless life and substitutionary death. If we say that Adam only served as a "bad example" for everyone else, then we also must conclude that Jesus was no more than a "good example" for Christians. the parallel here is unmistakeable. Paul says it very clearly: Adam's sin MADE us sinners. Condemnation of all human beings resulted from ONE transgression. Original sin and total depravity are indeed very biblical concepts. --Joe! |

Hello Joe, Just one more for you to think about. If we go along with this view of "original sin" and "total depravity" how would you explain how Noah found grace in eyes of the Lord? Please read on, Genesis 6 5Then the LORD[1] saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." 8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Now from this we can see that every thought of every man was only evil continually.Then how is it that Noah was spared he and his family and all the rest if mankind destroyed? If he was depraved and full of sin from an infant how did he manage to find grace in the eyes of God who cannot even look at sin without being angered? Raven |

Hello Raven Grace is unmerited favor. If Noah had done or been anything worthy of receiving it, it would not have been grace. It would have been his due. Wonder of wonders that God could ever look at you or me. Romans 5:8 (ESV) "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Steve |
