Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: Greetings, "We know from our understanding of various life processes, that certain substances are essential for the proper functioning of our bodies. Obviously, there was something that the Tree of Life provided that was necessary for immortality as well. So,without the Tree of Life, physical death became a reality for man." Thank you for making MY point. The physical death came about because God barred them from the Tree of Life. You have said nothing to counter my point that SPIRITUAL DEATH resulted from the sin. You write: "I BELIEVE...A CHANGE OCCURRED IN THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES AS WELL." I respectfully say that you have no proof. The physical repurcussions are connected to being barred from the TREE OF LIFE,LIFE,LIFE,LIFE. Without it, physical DEATH followed. Are you serious, you believe that sin is genetic? ... A POSSIBILITY TO CONSIDER IS THTA THE SIN-TAINTED GENOME IS ALWAYS PASSED FROM THE MALE (ADAM) ANDD THEREFORE, THEREFORE, THE GENETIC MATERIAL PASSED TO CHRIST FROM MARY WAS WITHOUT THE ADAMIC TAINT." I respectfully disagree with your explanation. The word SIN has to do with the transgression or disobedience to God. Sin is an ACT, NOT A STATE OF BEING. Only those who have sinned can rightly be called sinners. This doctrine you offer is very confusing since it doesn't seem to be rooted in Scripture. 1 John 3:4 "Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness." Sure, I grant you that the Bible says 'all have sinned.' But the import of those statement is that all of us break God's commandments, we are unrighteous. If your doctrine of depravity were true, and God judged such depraved individuals to hell, it would be like blaming a Down child for his condition. Remember those children grow up and they still have the 'sinful' nature that you describe. It can be argued that the adult who is sinning is doing the only thing he can possibly do. He is tainted and it would wrong for God to punish him for it. I appeal to you to rethink this issue. It makes sense to say that we do not have a sin nature, we have the same nature as Adam. As he chose to sin, we do too. In the day that we sin, we die [spiritually]. We already were dying physically because the physical genetic makeup has been altered. |
