Subject: When and how EVIL came about? |
Bible Note: Zerotheory: The verse Romans 5:13 I believe is telling us that sin was in the world before the law was given. In v. 14 " ...death reigned from Adam to Moses..." That time between Adam and Moses they did not have the law, "for by the law comes the knowledge of sin" (Romans 3:20) It was at the giving of the law that the trangressors were able to seen what God demands and realized the sinfulness of sin. Thus, as far as the human world is concerned, sin entered the world by the disobedience of the first man Adam. Robert |
