This is my response concerning Romans 5

[brandon (Brandon T. Ward)]

why is it necessary for Christ to attorn for all men?

• Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

• Ecc 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

• Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

@theo

You use Ezekiel 18:20 to state that we do not inherit sin from Adam.

Ezekiel 18:20 is not the only Scripture, but it plainly says, we do not inherit our parents sin.

• Deut 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

• 2Ki 14:6 But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Then we have:

• Rom 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

• Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

@theo

We know that the wages of sin is death and death came as a result of sin, and the sting of death is sin.

You are confusing physical death with spiritual death which is eternal. We’re talking about the death that Jesus explained in Matthew 10:28.

@theo

if Adam is not the Federal head of the entire human race, how can Christ be the federal head of the so many different races with different Adams (the first ones)? Either Christ is the kinsman redeemer of the entire human race or he is only a kinsman redeemer of the race of Adam.

There is only one redeemer theo, it is Jesus Christ, and all races are saved through Him as the Scriptures declare.

• Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

• Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

• Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

• Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

If we believe in Jesus, no matter our race, we are saved. Moreover, “the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart,” (1 Sam 16:7).
