Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: "I believe that spiritual death occurs when you sin. But spiritual death, the separation from a relationship with God, doesn't keep you from hiding from God in shame, seeing your nakedness. I certainly believe that the person knows his condition. This is what the Gospel can do when preached to lost sinners, it can prick and cause them to seek God's forgiveness." Except for the first sentence, I agree completely. "So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men." --Romans 5:18 All men were condemned because of one trangression. What one transgression is being referred to here? "For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous." --Romans 5:19 Do we become sinners when we sin? Whose disobedience made us sinners, according to this verse? The comparison between Adam and Jesus is unbreakable. If we are not sinners directly because of Adam's disobedience, how can Christians be saved by Christ's obedience? Adam's sin was imputed to all of his natural offspring. Jesus' righteousness is imputed to all who believe. There is no other way to look at these two verses without doing damage to what the life and death and resurrection accomplished for those who will be in heaven. --Joe! |
