    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Romans 5:12 --- ...so death spread to all men because all sinned--

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Nah, God's word told me that they were born sinless. The one who believes that a person is a sinner from birth doesn't truly understand what sin is and therefore doesn't understand what it means to be "born again". Moreover to believe in original sin is to hold an appalling and heretical view...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    No, it was not passed unto all of humanity. That is called traducinism and it is wrong; it is heresy. Sin is the contamination of the spirit. Our spirits come from God (Zech 12:1; Eccl 12:7; Heb 12:9). He does not give us a spirit contaminated with Adam's sin. The tendency to sin is not a sin.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Nonsense! ! Well then, if that is the way you want to interpret it, the verse also says that "MANY" will be made sinners, but not all. So what does that mean. If not all, then who? Actually, Romans 5:12-19 is not talking about salvation at all. In the "as..so" construction of verses 18 and...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Romans 5:18-19 has nothing to do with anyone believing or not believing in God. Rom 5:18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. Rom 5:19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    I believe that Adam was the first humanoid being given a human spirit by God. So yes, Adam was the first human.

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    So I assume then that you won't be voting for either, yet it seems you do complain about how the nation is run. Complain but no solution. Unfortunately, opinions don't solve many problems.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Romans 5:18-19 actually says that the effect of Jesus' obedience was to negate completely the effect of Adam's disobedience. In other words where Adam's disobedience might have been imputed to all at birth in the form of original sin; instead, Jesus' obedience was imputed to all at birth in the...

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    Thus I can only assume that you will be voting for Biden. Not sure how that is a "more Christian" thing to do.

    You mean upsetting people like you?

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Infant baptism results from two false doctrines. The first is the doctrine of Original Sin, the second is the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. The doctrine of Original Sin claims that all come into the world at birth stained with the sin of Adam. That is blatantly false. Sin is the...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    It doesn't say that. You misunderstand the different roles of the Holy Spirit. The indwelling Holy Spirit is given to all who are saved. That is the baptism in/with/by the Holy Spirit. That is not the empowering Holy Spirit that was given only to a few select indiviuals. The Baptism in (the...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Those are two separate and distinct prophetic promises. They were likely issued days apart. The baptism in/with/by the Holy Spirit was a promise first made by John the Baptist. That was a promise given, not to just a few select individuals, but to the mass of believers who had come out to...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    They received the gift, the indwelling, of the Holy Spirit when they were baptized. They did not receive the empowering Holy Spirit until the apostles laid hands on them. Act 5:32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Baptism in the Holy Spirit is one and the same as receiving the gift, the indwelling, of the Holy Spirit when water baptized. Therefore, the apostle Paul received the baptism in the Holy Spirit when he "arose and was baptized, washing away his sins" (Acts 22:16). This is the gift that all...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Yes, Act 5:32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us? And have you obeyed the gospel?

    Neither does your saying so.
