I'm reading "for everyone sinned" right there in the verse. I'm not getting it from anywhere else.

I told you and you don't listen. It doesn't say "death spread to everyone because everyone sinned". You need to get rid of that translation.

Finally, we note that Craig L. Blomberg of Denver Seminary, who was a reviewer for the NLT's Gospel according to Matthew, has explicitly stated that this version is not suitable as a regular Bible for adults. Responding to criticism of the NLT, Blomberg explained that the version is for "kids or very poor adult readers," and he suggested that readers of the NLT should move on to a more accurate version when they are able:

I relished the chance to work on the NLT (New Living Translation) team to convert the LBP into a truly dynamic-equivalent translation, but I never recommend it to anyone except to supplement the reading of a more literal translation to generate freshness and new insights, unless they are kids or very poor adult readers. My sixteen- and twelve-year old daughters have been weaned on the NLT and have loved it, but both already on their own are now frequently turning to the NIV. (11)

Check out this translation:

It is impossible to do what God’s standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature.

Below is the definition of the sin nature:

The sin nature is that aspect in man that makes him rebellious against God. When we speak of the sin nature, we refer to the fact that we have a natural inclination to sin; given the choice to do God’s will or our own, we will naturally choose to do our own thing.

So, ask yourself the question, based on the definition, did Jesus have a sin nature? Whatever you decide that is your belief.

God who is not a man as us, never was never could be a human. He is supernatural( Without nature as a beginning) .He remains without form and is not made up of the corrupted rudiments of this world without nature as a beginning . The Holy Spirit or the Son of God not seen lived in a corrupted body as the Son of man typified as sinful in order to put away sin in the flesh and in that body never received worship as if He was God.

When called "good master" knowing we are not to call any man as that seen master. for one is our infallible teacher in heaven. To confirm no man can serve two masters, (1) the flesh as that seen and (2)the unseen Spirit. The Son of man as a representative glory gave the glory to God not seen , only God not seen is good

There simply is no mediator between God and mans as that seen .


Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.Luke 18:17-19

I do not believe there is a valid reason for saying that. Adam did not have a sin nature before he disobeyed God. He was tempted, and sinned.
Adam may not have had a 'sin nature before he was tempted.....but he had 'human nature with the TENDENCY and ABILITY to sin/disobey the Commandment given Gen 2v16, 17. Adam gave way to the flesh because his human Mind/spirit was weak. We can only overcome sin by the Holy Spirit of God, NOT our weak human spirit.
God allows temptation to show us just how 'vulnerable we are without HIS Power/Spirit in us....which is only given us in OBEDIENCE Acts 5v32. Heb 5v8,9 .

Who's sin would a baby be condemned? Adam's? Would God send a soul to hell for someone else's sin?
We should not be talking of HELL after the first death because NOBODY is sent there UNTIL judgement .Joh 5v29.

If He didn't then how could this be true?:

Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
Hebrews 2:17‭-‬18 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/heb.2.17-18.NLT
We can assume that His human nature was mortal and was suffered and had lust, He was also experienced human fear. Ie, both the physical flesh and His soul had human inclination with which He fought. He was tempted, but he stood in the mortal body and did not commit sin, so he was sinless.
"7 In the days of his flesh, Jesusa offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him," Hebr 5:7-9.

So where does a soul go after death and awaiting judgement? In limbo?

But he should not be able to die if He wasn't under Adam's curse.
Can I ask a serious question? Being devoted to the bible and all....do you study it?

He said clealry that NO man takes his life, but that HE lays it down WILLINGLY and TAKES IT BACK UP AGAIN<---HE had this commandment and authority from the Heavenly Father

Except for the fact that in His kenosis He gave up that privilege, lived as we do in original sin, so that He could physically die:

Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges ; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
Philippians 2:6‭-‬8 NLT

He was equal to God because he is God. I asked you before, are you Catholic. If so there's no need for me to continue trying to convince you.x

Then shall the dust (body) return to the earth as it was 'and the spirit return unto God who gave it. Eccl 12v7. But remember this is only speaking of the 'human spirit' which is NOT the spirit to eternal life (there is more to say on this....but slowly !)

What you are saying is making Jesus human, but not God. You are denying that he is God. Your making him just an ordinary man, and he is God. This is an example: If a doctor took sperm from man I don't know and an egg from a woman that I don't know; put them together and placed them into my womb, I gave birth to a baby, Even if I raised the baby, it is not my biological baby. Do you understand.?

I am not denying His full deity. But you need to consider His full humanity. Jesus participated in all 3 parts of the curse on Adam: #1 Jesus worked as a carpenter; #2 He ate food; #3 He physically died. See here:

And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it. It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains. By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”
Genesis 3:17‭-‬19 NLT

The dead are asleep. Paul may have said: to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. OK, to close your eyes at night: presto - it is morning. It is the same principal.

Yes you proved that he was human. What is the difference between him and us?
