Bible Note: "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 My objection to your argument is that if we are seeing a strict parallel between Adam and Jesus and the extent and nature of their representation, why is it logical to conclude that we are all "potentially justified"? If the condemnation is not potential but actual, then the justification is as well. If the justification is potential and not actual, then we are only "potentially condemned" by Adam's transgression (i.e. not born into sin, and hypothetically able to "accept or reject" that condemnation). Is that an orthodox Christian view? --Joe! |
