If we agree on that, then fine. No discussion to be had. The problem I had was with those who claimed Adam did not make us sinners.

Beloved, you have neglected the argument of "original sin" AFTER the cross!
You seem to lump the sinners since Adam with those made righteous in Christ.
You say that "we", which includes all men born after Adam, were made righteous
by the Lord 's sacrifice. I disagree. Only those IN Christ are righteous. Granted
that EVERYONE, even Judas Iscariot, were offered remission of sins: not everyone,
however, has received the Gift.
Now, if children are sinners, and die before they receive the gospel, will they
be cast into the lake of fire? Or perhaps you believe in a "purgatory"? Or when
do you believe that ALL refers only to those at the age of accountability?
The scriptures declare that by "...disobedience many were made [/I]
declared sinners."
But it was NOT after the similitude of Adam; for the Lord KNEW we would all sin,
just as He knew Adam would eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Me thinks you got lost when you entered the "positional" doctrine.
