Romans 5:12-19
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world (Adam) , and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned...
Did we inherit Adams sin nature AND his sin? Please use Scripture to explain. Let the discussion begin!
Eze 18:19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
No person is guilty for the sins of other people for that is their sins, but every person will bear their own sin.
Like black people that say white guilt but it is a meaningless thing to say for no person is guilty for the sins of other people.
It does not matter if your father is Hitler if you do not go along with him then you are not guilty.
We are not blamed for the sin of Adam and Eve for that is their sin.
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden for He gave them a choice
Since they were created in God's image, and knowing Him then they could only go by what He told them seeing no other alternative which it would of never entered their mind to eat off that tree unless an outside source tempted them.
So God allowed Satan to tempt Eve which he asked the question did God say you shall not eat of every tree in the garden, and she said that they could not eat of the tree for she could not think any different.
Then Satan tempted her with an alternate reality that if they ate of the tree they would be as gods having an elevated position, and be in control of their destiny to be able to make choices for themselves being able to choose good or evil.
Then Eve ate of the tree and sinned, and then she was the outside source that tempted Adam that nothing bad happened to her, and she did not die, and Adam ate of the tree and sinned.
Then they had a choice between good and evil, so all their offspring have a choice between good and evil.
Adam and Eve were born knowing God but their offspring are born with a choice so they are born not knowing God so they will do wrong before they repent to get right with Him so all people have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
We do not inherit Adam and Eve's sin for that is their sin.
We are born innocent with no sin on our record which is why the Bible says the angels always behold the face of the Father for the little ones.
It is only when we sin when we have understanding it is wrong but we want to do it anyway that we then are not innocent anymore.
Which takes away the excuse that homosexual people say that they are born homosexual for it is a sin so if we are born innocent with no sin on our record then the sin of homosexuality would not be there, or any other sin people think they are born with.
Adam and Eve gave all their offspring a choice so they are born not knowing God and will do wrong before they repent and follow Him.
We do not inherit the sin of Adam and Eve but we inherit their nature of choice that they received after they ate of that tree.
We are born innocent with no sin on our record and then later in life then it becomes a sin nature for we will sin before we repent and do right because we are born not knowing God.
