Bible Note: Dear CDBJ, Your question is sound and well taken. In answer, I'd like to first quote from Romans chapter 6 to clarify the "Adamic Nature". Verses 5-6 tells us: (6) "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection." (6) knowing this, that our old man, (Adamic Nature)is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. (7) For he that is dead is (Legally) freed from sin. The word legally in parentheses is mine. (8) Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. Now I jump down to verse (11) "Likewise reckon ye also to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord". We are legally freed from the bondage of sin, however, our old man which is the Adamic Nature is still able to function and press our flesh to be as those not belonging to Jesus Christ. Everything you stated and quoted is right on. We fight our flesh, which is the old Adamic Nature. However, our true position is in Him since we were chosen in the beloved. I truly appreciated your prompt response to my post. If my answer seems to have holes in it, please write back as soon as possible. Best in Christ. Eagle |
