i disagree
the first Adam was imperfect because he chose to sin
the second Adam was perfect because he chose not to
God didn't declare creation good on the grounds that could be good, but on the grounds that it was already good. Therefore Adam could not have been imperfect
So the world was saved based on luck, or chance?
In other words, if you believe there was a chance (or the luck of the draw) that Jesus could have potentially sinned (Which is an appalling idea), then "
chance" is one's Savior and not Jesus Christ because Jesus just got "
lucky" in the fact that He did not fail in the fact that his soul was just as flawed as our soul. He got lucky that He didn't sin because if He did, we would have all been doomed not to mention God's Son would have been condemned before the Father (Which would have fractured the Trinity or the Godhead and end the universe as we know it).
But Scripture does not even remotely suggest Jesus as having a human soul in addition to a human body. For there are many opportunities for Scripture to mention if Jesus had a human soul. However, the Scriptures suggest the exact opposite. Jesus exclusively had an eternal divine soul (whereby He suppressed His divine attribute of Omniscience so as to be like a man). Jesus said He came down from Heaven. Jesus did not say He was a new creation in addition to coming down from Heaven. The Scriptures say God was manifested in the flesh. It does not say, God was manifested in Him both body and soul. Scripture says the fulness of the Godhead dwelled within Him bodily. It does not say the fulness of the Godhead dwelled within Him both body and soul. Jesus' soul and spirit was divine and eternal. For the Scriptures mention how God has a soul. Granted, God's soul is eternal and uncreated, though.
Also, Scripture does not suggest that Jesus could potentially sin either. On the contrary, Jesus was holy (which means perfect), separate from sinners, and undefiled (Hebrews 7:26).
In addition, there was NO chance Jesus spoke about how He could have failed in His mission (thinking He might have made it). That is unbiblical concept. For Jesus tells disciples in John 13:19 things that are yet future that are going to come to pass so that they might believe. One of these things that Jesus KNEW was going to come to pass was the time He was going to be in the heart of the Earth for 3 days and 3 nights (i.e. the place they could not come) (John 13:33); Also see John 14:28-29.
In other words, you need to prove your case with Bible verses that specifically states that Jesus could have sinned, failed in his mission, and had a human soul.
There was no "law" when Adam was around. If Adam hadn't sinned then there would be no need for the law
but he did sin....and God gave the law.....and no one could keep it perfectly because we were all fallen because of Adams sin
In Romans chapter 5 we learn, "For by one man sin entered the world and by one man many shall be justified."
Now, under the Mosaic Law there was an accounting and those under that Law had to bring their sacrifices accordingly. Prior to the Mosaic law, the Patriarchs offered sacrifices to God, but not as a result of particular sins–not because God said to them if you do such and such sin then you have to offer such and such sacrifices. The sacrifices of the Patriarchs were offered based upon faith, not law. Which explains the context of Romans 5:13.
For sin was no doubt in the world prior to the law and so was transgression, hence there had to be some kind of law (Because sin is transgression of the law - 1 John 3:4). For obviously Paul does not contradict himself here. He says that sin was not accounted until the law came. The point is that there was no law from God to this point that had been codified, that is, placed into written form. Before the Law of Moses, sin was not imputed because there was no written Law to transgress. Then how was sin imputed to those living before the written Law? Well, sin was imputed to those living before the Law because the "death of sin" was passed down to them thru Adam's disobedience (Romans 5:12, 14, 17, 18, 19). Those living before the Law, were exclusively justified by faith and those who did not live by faith were condemned. In other words, the Old Testament saint living before the Law was justified by following a variation of Romans 8:1. Yes, they did not know who Christ was yet or this passage, but the Spirit of Christ was in fact within the prophets, though (1 Peter 1:10, 11).
maybe I missed something but I feel like u should know this already....
Know what exactly? A set of beliefs that are not specifically stated or mentioned in the Bible?
I say this not to wound you, but so as to guide you to the truth in love; And to challenge you to seek the Scriptures and back up what you specifically believe.
Anyways, may God bless you.
And please be well.
With loving kindness to you in Christ,
Sincerely,
