no descendant of Adam is born "into the world Justified before God". All descendants of Adam are born into the world in need of justification.God imputes righteousness when a person believes ... just as is stated in Scripture. Scripture tells us Abraham believed God and then God imputed righteousness to Abraham.
Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Scripture does not state that Abraham was "born into the world Justified before God". The same holds true in our day and time ... believe and then righteousness is imputed.
Those who find themselves cast into the lake of fire are those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Rom 1:18) when the truth of the Scriptures is revealed to them.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Romans 5:10 does not support your claim that a descendant of Adam is "born into this world Justified before God".The word "enemies" is translated from Greek echthros – ("enemy"), implies irreconcilable hostility,
The word "reconciled" is translated from Greek katallássō – decisively change, as when two parties reconcile when coming ("changing") to the same position.
The one who is justified by faith (Rom 5:1) is no longer an enemy because he/she is now reconciled. Both parties are now reconciled.
God (the Party of the first part) established His eternal purpose in eternity past ... and He reconciled Himself to mankind through the death of His Son.
The believer (the party of the second part) is reconciled at the time he/she is justified. At that point, both parties (God and the believer) came to the same position (see definition of reconciled translated from Greek katallássō).

10 For if, when we were enemies/unbelievers, we were reconciled/Justified to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Your claim is not supported by the context.
Beginning in 1 Cor 2:6, the subject is the hidden wisdom:
1 Corinthians 2:6-8 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect [Greek téleios = mature]: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
God never hid the Gospel ... and for you to continue to conflate the hidden wisdom with the Gospel after you have been shown from Scripture that the Gospel is not the mystery is just you rejecting the truth of Scripture.
You are not to align Scripture to your erroneous dogma. You are to align your dogma to Scripture and where you are in error, let go of the error.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Isaiah 53:11 says nothing about any descendant of Adam being "born into the world Justified".
What you have failed to establish is your erroneous notion that any descendent of Adam is "born into the world Justified" ... just as you have failed to establish your erroneous notion that the world, the whole world means some sort of subset of humanity you call "the elect".

if they are "born into this world as enemies" then they are not "reconciled to God".Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Romans 3:24-25 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God
"If you deny this, thats a serious problem."

That you conflate the Gospel with the mystery, even the hidden wisdom does not change the fact that the subject of 1 Cor 2:14 is the mystery, even the hidden wisdom spoken of in 1 Cor 2:7.
1 Corinthians 2:6-8 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect [Greek téleios = mature]: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
God never hid the Gospel.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive
You are blown about in your confusion concerning the mystery ... the hidden wisdom which is the subject of 1 Cor 2:14.

if they are enemies, they are not reconciled.I have shown you the meaning of the Greek words used for "enemies" (Gr. echthros) and "reconciled" (Gr. katallássō).
That you continue to alter the meanings of the words in order to manipulate Scripture to align with your erroneous dogma does not change the meanings of the words.
enemies is enemies (i.e. irreconcilable hostility).
reconciled is reconciled (i.e. two parties reconcile when coming ("changing") to the same position).
"they are born into the world enemies" = irreconcilable hostility.
Once a person is justified by faith (Rom 5:1), then he or she is "reconciled to God".

1 Cor 2:14 is about the Gospel, its foolishness to the natural man
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Cor 1:18
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death[Cross] of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
See, to you the preaching of the cross/death of Christ is foolishness. You wonder on how can one be reconciled to God while being an enemie !
