Bible Note: Dear Brother WOS, Good to see you again, lately, on the forum! Regarding "sin [nature] ... [being] passed from generation to generation..." This is called "imputation" (see Isa 61:10; Jer 23:6; Rom 3:22; 5:12-19; 1 Cor 1:30; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 1:18-19). "A Transfer of benefit or harm from one individual to another. In theology imputation may be used negatively to refer to the transfer of the sin and guilt of Adam to the rest of humankind. Positively, imputation refers to the righteousness of Christ being transfered to those who believe on Him for salvation." -- Pocket Dictionary of Theological Terms I think when we talk about imputation and the imago Dei ("image of God") , we are sort of talking apples and oranges. The imago Dei existed in man before the fall. After the fall, it was marred and distorted. You might think of the imago Dei as genetic, while imputation is forensic. I do tend to agree, though, with your suggestion that "the references to God’s likeness and Adam’s likeness in Gen. 5 simply indicate that Adam was created sinless (by God) but the generations to follow would not be in a sinless state due to the fall." I think I suggested somewhere that the repetition of the phrase "in his image" was one of contrast. Does that help, or does it only confuse things? In Him, Doc |
