Where in scripture, does it say explicitly that Adam sinned, I see trespass and transgression which are not sin, it has been imputed, by all but a few that Adam, sinned.
Romans 5:12 thru 14 that by one man sin came into the world. Is there a definitive scripture was Adam.
My thoughts as always are meant to make people think. Paul said that sin came by the law. if that is true then Adam couldn't be the one man, it would have to be Moses. Moses is also the first person to break the law, making the case, that, no one can carry the law without breaking it.
Sin: missing the mark
trespass: everyday screwups
Transgression: willful disobedience
Iniquity: continued willful disobedience
I know the inspired word of God offends some people, but this is all in scripture, but I guess study and meditation, sometimes could be to hard for some
THE LONE RANGER
LOL There can't be two Lone Rangers . I am still waiting for my official Lone Ranger badge, certificate and silver bullet after sending away for it some 60 years ago. Kemosabe?
The key to understanding is in the creation before the fall.After the fall the soul that sins dies.
Before the fall God previously as to when God corrupted the whole creation as the beginning of His death sentence, He created mankind as one creation to represent his own self as one God, working together as if he was a literal father and Son as two attributes .
Man representing the invisible head Christ and woman representing the whole body (mankind) as one creation. She is signified as the bride of Christ ,the church. She was not formed from the bone of Adam they were both created flesh and bone. Flesh and bone are both products of the lifeless spiritless dust they were formed of.
They were given one spirit and if either violated the commandment both were held responsible.
That which was attributed to one the same applied to the other.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
When Eve ate of the forbidden fruit it affected that one creation (mankind) which would have been vice versa had Adam first, Eve would be held responsible.
And God said, Let us make
man (singular) in our image, after our likeness: and let
them (both) have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created
man (mankind) in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
(the other beasts of the field) Gen 1:26
This is unlike the other beasts of the field, male and female he made them as separate creations. They were not created in the likeness of God who is one.
It in one sense could be compared to the new ceremonial law as a new testament ordinance used as a shadow to point ahead to the consummation of the bride of Christ when we receive our new bodies made up of male and female according to the measure of man.
If the man fails to uncover his head/hair the woman will be responsible, and if she refuses to not cover her head/hair vice versa .
The idea that Moses is the first to break the law is not a biblical idea.
It was broken in the garden when iniquity was found in the heart of the god of this world, in the same day, twinkling of the eye he created him .It proved to be true seeing Adam and Eve experienced what it was to do the good pleasure of the will of another.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee
in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Eze 28:13
