Bible Question:
There are three views of imputed sin (Adam's sin is reckoned to each person) that I have found: 1) It's an unbiblical concept. 2) Imputed sin leads to spiritual death. 3) Imputed sin leads only to physical death. The first I reject immediately. The debate I've seen is between 2 and 3 (more logical to me). How do you see it? Steve |
Bible Answer: Most interesting question. I've never heard of imputed sin leading to either spiritual or physical death, but only to both. Would it not be so, especially looking at the Gen. 3 event? Our separation from God is spiritual (hid themselves from Him) but also physical (banished from the garden by Him). This is also my understanding of reading Martin Luther's thoughts on this and imputed righteousness. Perhaps I am understanding and reading wrong. I will be interested to see the thread of this discussion. |
