Bible Question:
Hello beensetfree You are correct about number 2. So to restate the 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 and physical 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: Steve, It would be helpful if you defined "spiritual death" for purposes of this discussion. All are likely to agree on what "physical death" means, but not necessarily on "spiritual death. For example does spiritual death mean loss of sanctifying grace and loss of justification? Some might hold to loss of the later, but say that Adam and Eve never had the former. And some, such as myself, would hold to both the concept that they had both and lost both. Others might have some other idea about the definition of spiritual grace. Emmaus |
