The commandment from God
**Genesis 2:17 **
17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
if there is no original sin, then we do not need a Savior
Breaking God’s commandment
Genesis 3
6When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise,
she took from its fruit and
ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and
he ate.
The punishment from God
Genesis 3:14-19
16To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
Your
pain in childbirth,
In pain you will bring forth children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And he will rule over you.”
17Then to Adam He said, “Because
you have listened to the voice of your wife, and **have eaten from the tree **about which
I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;
Cursed is the ground because of you;
In toil you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
18"Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
And you will eat the plants of the field;
19By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
Till you return to the ground,
Because from it you were taken;
** For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.” **
Job 14
Code:
**1**"**Man, who is born of woman**,
Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
** 4**"
Who can make the** clean out of the unclean**?
No one!
All humans are afflicted with original sin, and this includes babies as well.
Psalm 51:5
Code:
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And **in sin my mother conceived me. **
We have inherited Adam’s sin from the moment of our conception. This is why babies need baptism – to wash away the original sin inherited from Adam and Eve.
**Romans 5:12 **
12Therefore, just as** through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men**, because all sinned–
sin came into the world through one man, Adam, and death came through this sin. This sin affects all people, men and women, babies and adults. Through the merits of Jesus Christ, we have the sacrament of baptism to wash away the sin that came through Adam.
**Romans 5:14 **
14Nevertheless **death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, **who is a type of Him who was to come.
**Romans 5:16 **
16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the
judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.
the judgment following one single trespass brought condemnation for all. This means all have inherited the sin of Adam, and all must be washed clean of this sin in the waters of baptism.
Romans 5:19
19For as through the **one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, **even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners. Original sin is passed on as part of the human condition, and only God in the flesh could atone for our sins by the eternal sacrifice of Himself. Through this sacrifice, God has re-opened the doors to heaven, and through baptism, we are once again made children of God.
**1 Corinthians 15:21 **
21For since by
a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
In Adam, all die. In Christ, the new Adam, all now may live.
Ephesians 2
Made Alive in Christ
1And **you were dead in your trespasses and sins, **
2in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
3Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and
were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
we were all dead through sin and all lived in the passions of our flesh until Christ came to save us.
Original Sin! Because it came from Adam “originally”.
