Bible Question:
Hey BradK and Doc, To restate part of my first question, "While all are positionally guilty of man's original voluntary transgression in that all sinned in Adam...". Romans 5:12. However, we must distinguish the universal positional, legal sentence of death and damnation incurred solely by Adam and Eve's transgression as distinct from the corruption of every cognizant person's character. Only the preordained sacrifice of Christ, (1st. Peter 1: 19, 20), enables God to justly promise that the descendant will not be damned for his or her ancestor's sins, (including Adam's), and to charge each one for his own transgressions only, so that the soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4,20). It is an interesting idea that David's bones may have been literally crushed as in Psalm 51:8 - or did you mean that you take the 5th. verse verbatim but spiritualize verse 8? If there is no response to a point that is made, does that mean it has met its burden of proof? Here is a question that I've never heard a credible answer for: If carnality, or spiritual death, is inherent, how did Christ, the seed of the woman Eve escape being infected? (Genesis 3:15). Yours in the Kingdom of Christ, Restate |
Bible Answer: Restate, Hope I can help. The sin nature, or the consequences thereof, are passed down through the seed of the male. Therefore Jesus did not receive the seed of a man but was conceived by the Holy Spirit. InGodITrust |
