As In Adam All Die


AS IN ADAM ALL DIE BUT IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE
(Doctrine on the original sin)

After creating the earth and the things in it, God saw that it was good.  “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them 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 in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created He them.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day”.  
Genesis 1:26-27and 31 

And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.  And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Genesis 2:15-17, 21-23

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  Genesis 3:1

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:6 

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  Genesis 3:8

And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Genesis 3:9-10
 
Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 3:23-24

Now the day they partook of the forbidden fruit they died spiritually while their life of their physical bodies were prolonged for a season, and Adam lived to be nine hundred and thirty years of age but there is no record of Eves death.  Genesis 5:5

However Moses said: “And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.” Genesis 5:4  

Paul said that since:  “Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”  Timothy 2:14
And therefore said he: “In Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 

Therefore death came to all of Adam’s posterity.
GOD chose that the original sin should be passed on to the human race through the father.   And because JESUS had GOD as His father He did not inherit the original sin as did the rest of mankind.    But said David:   “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Psalm 51:5  Not that his parents sinned during his conception for said the Apostle:  “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled”.  Hebrews 13:4-a 

Now that the serpent had beguiled Eve into sinning against GOD, the LORD told the serpent: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15

Now the seed of the serpent was seen when King Herod tried to destroy JESUS as a babe, but GOD sent JESUS away until Herod was dead.   But the Devil never gave up. As John the Baptist was baptizing in Jordan:  Matthew said: “When John the Baptist saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptismal service he ask them: “O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” Matthew 3:7  

Then just a few days before they would bruise His heel literally as they drove the nails in his hands and feet, JESUS warned them “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” 
Matthew 23:33 

Paul said: “For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Romans 7:9-14   Through that process the human race became sinners.   When Paul said:  “For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.”

As Paul testified of his own experience, he expressed the fate of mankind because sometime during our adolescence, even as Paul said, we became a candidate for Hell until we invited CHRIST to come and destroy the Devil.  As long as the original sin controlled our lives, we remained a candidate for Hell.   “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
1 Corinthians 15:22

Paul told the Thessalonians: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.”  2 Thessalonians 2:3

JESUS came to earth to destroy him that had the power of death, that is, to destroy the devil;” Hebrews 2:14

The Apostle Peter said that JESUS: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24

Now as afore stated: the Devil was one of the names given to the original sin.
John referred to him as the beast with two heads.   And said he: “I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3

Now, since JESUS came to destroy the Devil, it was He that bruised the head of the Devil.  And the remaining head was old Satan; JESUS bound him and cast him into the bottomless pit, our flesh, to be loosed at the death of our fleshly body.

Now be it known to all: THE BEAST is the original sin.

MAY GOD BLESS
