The death of Adam who disobeyed God's command is not the question of Romans 5:12-15.Thou shalt not eat of the fruit...they ate...sin....death...very simple...
Your point was about justness.Nothing you wrote has any bearing on my point...
Was the rebirth of the thief on the cross of both water and spirit?Born of water and of spirit...come on, really? We are born...we die...then we are born again...it is the second death that we must avoid...
Precisely. . .you are grasping Paul here very well.No, he was not taught correctly. BTW, did you read what you wrote? Death is the CONSEQUENCE OF SIN. Sin is THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. You say without law there is no sin...and you say there was no law between Adam and Moses...SO...how did they sin if there was no law???
You said ALL sinned yet then you say all died
Paul states:
all sinned (Romans 5:12),
where there is no law there is no sin (Romans 5:13),
no one sinned, yet all died (Romans 5:14),
of what sin were they guilty (Romans 5:12)?
Those who had no law to sin against. . .all those between Adam and Moses (Romans 5:13b)(btw, WHO did not sin?).
Precisely. . .and Paul's question is: which sin?The sin kills you, not the guilt...sin comes first.
In this case I think the Eastern church has got it right. A consequence of the Western view is the need for the Immaculate Conception. Because how could a guilty Mary give birth to an innocent Jesus?And you were taught correctly, according to apostolic teaching of the NT.
Much of what you've written I'm fine with. But if you think we're born guilty, does your church baptize infants? Maybe it should.And that is the issue Paul is opening up for us in Romans 5:13-15; .e., what caused us to be born "mortal," which is a sentence to death.
We are born under the sentence to death, we don't come under it after birth,
we are by nature objects of wrath (we are born with our nature)--Ephesians 2:3.
Why were we born under this sentence?
Paul begins with the facts of the issue:
death is the consequences of sin (Romans 6:23)
sin is transgression of the law (1 John 3:4),
where there is no law there is no sin (Romans 5:13b),
there was no law between Adam and Moses, yet all sinned (Romans 5:13b,
demonstrated by the fact that all died, even those who did not sin (Romans 5:14).
So how does that work?
The guilt of what sin caused their death?
What is that all about?
And he answers that question in the rest of the chapter, with further revelation regarding God's purpose in Christ.
Precisely. . .you are grasping Paul here very well.
So what sin were they guilty of which caused their deaths?
Not too sure what that has to do with our discussion. . .In this case I think the Eastern church has got it right. A consequence of the Western view is the need for the Immaculate Conception. Because how could a guilty Mary give birth to an innocent Jesus?
Isn't the baptism of rebirth for believers?Much of what you've written I'm fine with. But if you think we're born guilty, does your church baptize infants? Maybe it should.
Thanks. . .but the problem with that is we cannot respond to one another's exegesis.If you're interested, here's a link to a scholar whose teachings I like. He's a Protestant who argues the Eastern view regarding Romans 5, and here he talks about it. What he calls the 'traditional' view is the Western view.
Please deal with what guilt of sin caused the deaths of those between Adam and Moses when there was no law to sin against to make them guilty of sin.
Was the rebirth of the thief on the cross of both water and spirit?
Are you avoiding again?
Your point was about justness.
It bears on the justness of God regarding our guilt of Adam's sin, which is no more unjust than God accounting righteousness to the unrighteous (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:3). . .which is part of the revelation of the passage.
PAUL said:Yes I am but you are not! i already proved you wrong...read genesis.
YOU said ALL sinned...so YOU tell ME! LOL
Another question does not answer my question.Answer why is Yeshua called the 2nd Adam????????? Here we go again...sin produces the guilt, not the other way around!
Would that have anything to do with not answering my questions?Yes I am avoiding telling you of my astonishment with your lack of understanding...
Yeshua's body was NOT broken.
John 19:
31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
Guilt of sin is the cause of death (Romans 6:23), it is not a consequence unconnected to guilt.We are not guilty of Adam's sin...Adam's sin brought death into the world...we suffer the consequences of it...we die also...
PAUL said:
all sinned (Romans 5:12),
where there is no law there is no sin (Romans 5:13),
no one sinned between Adam and Moses, and yet all died because of sin (Romans 5:14),
of what sin were they guilty that caused all to die?
If Romans 5:12-15 is too confusing to you, we don't have to pursue it.
