Genesis:Original Sin Mark Hagen June 5, 2005
Genesis: Original Sin “In Adam's fall, we sinned all.” - McGuffey Reader, c.1836
Genesis: Original Sin “In Adam's fall, we sinned all.” - McGuffey Reader Original Sin - the sin that is ours as a result of Adam's sin
Genesis: Original Sin “It is ‘original’ in that it comes from Adam, and it is also original in that we have it from the beginning of our existence as persons, but it is still our sin, not Adam's sin, that is meant.” - Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, p.495 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned … - Romans 5:12
Genesis: Original Sin “Doubtless there is nothing more shocking to our reason than to say that the sin of the first man has rendered guilty those who, being so removed from its source, seem incapable of participating in it. Certainly nothing offends us more rudely than this doctrine, and yet without this mystery, the most incomprehensible of all, we are incomprehensible to ourselves.” - Pascal, Edward T. Oakes, Original Sin: A Disputation, First Things 87, Nov. 1998, 16-24
Genesis: Original Sin “That we could have sinned in Adam may seem strange and unnatural to the Western mind. Nevertheless, it is congenial to biblical teaching on the solidarity of humankind. When Adam sinned, the human race sinned because it was in him. To put it boldly, Adam was the race. What he did, his descendants, who were still in him, did also. This principle is also utilized in Heb 7:9-10: ‘One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.’ ” - NIVBC Rom. 5:12
Genesis: Original Sin “These and other conditions support the position that the entirety of our human nature, both physical and spiritual, material and immaterial, has been received from our parents and more distant ancestors by way of descent from the first pair of humans. On that basis, we were actually present within Adam, so that we all sinned in his act. There is no injustice, then, to our condemnation and death as a result of original sin.” - Millard Erickson, Christian Theology, p.637
Genesis: Original Sin “God regards the human race as an organic whole, a unity, represented by Adam as its head. And God also thinks of the new race of Christians, those who are redeemed by Christ, as an organic whole, a unity represented by Christ as head of His people.” - Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, p.495-496
Genesis: Original Sin For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. - 1 Corinthians 15:22 … for until the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. - Romans 5:13-14
Genesis: Original Sin “Here Paul points out that from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, people did not have God's written laws. Though their sins were [not imputed] "not counted" (as infractions of the law), they still died. The fact that they died is very good proof that God counted people guilty on the basis of Adam’s sin.” - Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, p.494
Genesis: Original Sin 15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. - Romans 5:15-16
Genesis: Original Sin 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. - Romans 5:17-19
