Bible Question (short): Romans 5 What is Paul saying |
Question (full): Hi guys I know i have been away for awhile but have been very busyboth with school and church. It seems I have come to a difficult point in my studies and could really use some input, my question comes from Romans chapter 5: 12-14. Does this passage indicate that God did not hold people accountable for their sin in the time between Adam and Moses? I realize that the law had not been given but could not the arguement be made for natural law and the possibleity that the sacfrical system was introduced in the Garden of Eden when God Himself made the first animal sacfrice to cover the sin of Adam and Eve, and did not Job make sacfrices to God to cover the sin of himself and his family, as well as God telling Noah to take animals on the arch with him so that he could oofer sacfrice? So did God hold people accountable for their sin during this time? What exactly is Paul saying in this passage? Thanks in advance for your help. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |
