Paul taught that Adam's sin was imparted to ALL men
That's false doctrine... the Lord said thru Paul that sin came UPON all men... the Lord never said that sin was put INTO every man. Big, gigantic difference between the two.
In fact, the Lord has said in His Word that he does not hold you responsible for the sins of others:
Deuteronomy 24:16
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin
Deuteronomy 1:39
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
2 Kings 14:6
But the sons of the slayers he did not put to death, according to what is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin
Ezekiel 18:19
Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity?’ When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has observed all My statutes and done them, he shall surely live
Ezekiel 18:20
The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself
No... we all have sinned after we were born on our own so each of us are guilty because we DECIDED to sin at some point in our lives. Those who claim God put a sin nature in each baby that was born are specking in behalf of the devil whether they realize it or not.
This is due to false doctrine they have been taught along with their ignorance of what the Lord says in His Word.
If original sin is true, then babies are born guilty of sin, totally depraved, destined for eternal punishment. Now note specifically:
Psalm 106:37,38; Jeremiah 19:4,5 - In sacrificing babies to idols, people shed the blood of innocent people. But if the babies inherited Adam's sin, they would be guilty and worthy of death. [cf. Jer. 32:35]
Romans 7:9 - Paul (representative of people in general) was alive before sin came, but then he died. How, if people are totally depraved since birth? (cf. v11)
Hebrews 12:9; Zechariah 12:1; Ecclesiastes 12:7 - Our fleshly nature comes from our earthly fathers (like Adam). But God is the Father of our spirits. God gives the spirit and forms it within man.
Total depravity says man is "wholly defiled in ... soul and body." Does the sinless Father in heaven give us wholly defiled, totally depraved spirits? If the spirit comes from God, not from earthly parents, how can we inherit sin from our parents?
Matthew 19:14; 18:3 - The kingdom of God belongs to those who are converted and become like little children. But if little children are totally depraved, why should we become like them? Does conversion make us totally depraved?
Jesus prayed for children and blessed them (Mark 10:14-16), but He did not baptize them. They did not need baptism, because they were acceptable just as they were. But how could this be if they were born total depraved?
The Bible teaches that sinners must be baptized to be saved (Acts 2:38; 22:16; Mark 16:16; 1 Pet. 3:21; Rom. 3:6,4; Gal. 3:26,27). The consequence of original sin is that babies who die without baptism are all lost eternally.
But the Bible teaches that babies are innocent and need no baptism. So original sin is false doctrine!.
Yes, he could have died in World War I, or World War II, or he could have been the man behind what is often called deep government. Who knows?
Er no, He was an OT saint so he's in Heaven now along with all the other OT saints
Now you are just playing with God's Word. You well know what Paul said in the Book of Romans.
First off.... Paul wrote as he was led of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ told him to write.... and he never did say God put sin nature in every new born baby after Adam and Eve.
That's the false doctrines of the calvinists, lutherns, and the catholic cult that have taught this doctrine of demons for the past few centuries.
But hey, if you need an excuse to believe living in sin is normal for you... then this false doctrine is definitely good for that as is why most who claim to be Christian are still living in sin and have no problem with sinful behavior in their lives because after all.... they think they were born to be sinners!
