I do not deny the truth of scripture, just your interpretation of it...though I'm skeptical when you imply that your interpretation IS the expression of Biblical truth, especially when you ONLY repeat your doctrine over and over and
ignored the verses that are in obvious contradiction to that doctrine.
God does not contradict himself in his word written.
Have you presented any such verses for me to reconcile?
I must have had this so called power, the power of a free will, but I chose to rebel against HIS command, losing my free will to the enslaving addiction (power?) of sin. Why would HE allow Satan a free will but relegate HIS beloved Bride to a life of suffering and death by making her to inherit another's sinfulness contra Jer 31:30 ...each will die for his own iniquity. ??
Precisely. . .
Would you exegete the verses I put forward for me, please, not just repeat your eisegetic interpretation of other verses?
I will repeat myself: I do NOT deny that all sinners are under the condemnation/judgement of death which we inherit from Adam but that does NOT prove that we must therefore have become sinners by being created in Adam!!!
OK. . .
The cause of
all death is
sin. . .The wages of
sin is
death. (
Romans 6:23)
And sin is transgression of the law, and where there is
no law there is
no sin (transgression).
There was
no law between Adam and Moses, so there was
no sin (
Romans 5:14), but they all died, which is due to sin.
So for what sin of theirs did they die?
They died for the sin which
made them sinners (
Romans 5:19). . .by
imputation to them of
Adam's sin,
just as by
faith we are
made righteous by imputation of Christ's righteousness to us (Romans 5:18-10), as God's righteousness (
Romans 1:17,
Romans 3:21-22) was imputed to Abraham (
Romans 4:3;
Genesis 15:6) because of
faith.
Having shown God's
imputation of Adam's
sin to those between Adam and Moses (
Romans 5:12-14), Paul then completes the NT doctrine of imputation in two
contrasting parallels of
imputation, of sin
and of righteousness, in
Romans 5:18-19.
Note that Paul says in
5:18 that we are
all (those in Adam)
condemned by Adam's sin,
just as we are
all (those in Christ)
justified by Christ's righteousness.
And particularly note that he says in
5:19, that we were all
made sinners by Adam's transgression,
just as we are all
made righteous by Jesus Christ's righteousness (obedience).
Note that in neither half of the parallels does the outcome (guilt vs. righteousness) have
anything to do with what man
did, or our involvement would not be of the
same nature in them, and his parallelism of
contrasting imputations would be destroyed.
Paul's meaning in
Romans 5:18-19 is that Adam's guilt is i
mputed to us,
just as (in the same way) Christ's righteousness is
imputed to us.
We are
born sinners,
born guilty of Adam's sin because God has
imputed Adam's sin to those
born of Adam. . .just as he has
imputed Christ's righteousness to those
born again of Christ.
God has shut up all mankind in sin (
Romans 3:19;
Galatians 3:22) and left them without excuse (
Romans 1:20), so that Christ may be their
only hope, source and remedy (
Romans 5:20-21;
Galatians 3:22;
Colossians 1:17-20).
God has decreed that all things shall come to all men (Gentile as well as Jew) in Christ alone (
2 Corinthians 1:20;
Matthew 11:27;
John 14:6;
Romans 15:8;
Galatians 3:16) and, therefore, God has shut up all men (Jew as well as Gentile) in guilt and sin (
Romans 3:9-12, 19, 5:19-20, 11:30-32), not leaving even the possibility that man can have anything outside Christ, except a promise to perish (
John 3:16,
John 3:18,
John 3:36).
And in this way the wisdom of God accomplishes his eternal decree (
Psalms 2:7;
Luke 22:22;
John 6:40, 10:18, 14:31) regarding his Christ (
Ephesians 1:9-10;
Colossians 2:2-3), all things being created by him and
for him, (
Colossians 1:17-20) Christ
in us, the hope of
glory (
Colossians 1:26-28).
