Subject: inherit the sin of Adam |
Bible Note: Doc, I know this thread seems to be going on and getting lengthy, but I would really appreciate some help on one thing. You stated in your post to Mark: “You see, brother Mark, this is why it was so crucial that Christ be born of a virgin. He was not of the seed of Adam. If He had been of the seed of Adam, even without committing any sin, He could only have died for Himself. Yet Christ was perfectly righteous, in deed, in heart, and in nature.†Does that imply then, that imputed sin is only a paternal characteristic and not maternal? How does Scripture account for the fact that sin is passed from mother to child? Wasn’t Mary a child of Adam? But yet we know Christ was not of sin. Would this indicate that Jesus was in fact the true “second Adam†a total creation of God therefore not genetically linked to Mary? But then in essence, doesn’t that deny His Humanity? Does Scripture reveal the answer to this? WOS |
