Christ's work in making us righteous is the polar opposite, and actually more than opposite, to what Adam did according to Romans 5.
That is not reading anything into it. It is taking it from the writing. how can we read into the picture anything after reading what Adam did is outdone by what Christ did in making us righteous? |
So if I understand you, Adam made us sinners - not in "deed", and not "in nature", but "positionally"?
This means that all Adam's descendants are condemned... because of Adam's sin. It seems to contradict the principle that every man shall bear his own sin.
Further it would seem to imply that the cross dealt with our "position" in Adam and not our actual personal sins? Please explain how this plays out?
Also, it implies that all who die as infants are lost because "age of accountability" is irrelevant, since it is about being "in Adam" which means being descended from Adam?
Is this not a case of God condemning an entire family to eternal death simply because they are related to the transgressor?
Finally, how was Christ "not in Adam" if he is the Son of Adam/Man?
