Bible Question:
The Bible seems to teach that we are born into this world "dead in trespasses and sins". As I understand it (and I may misunderstand it), Adam's fallen spiritual nature is passed on to every human being born since? Is this an accurate understanding? seeking4truth |
Bible Answer: Yes. But... there is hope... Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. In Christ George |
