Show GOD'S ANSWSERS TO MAN'S QUESTIONS SIN How did Adams sin affect his children? His sinful nature w as passed on to all his posterity. "As by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Romans 5:12 (see also vv. 13-19). 13-19). Do you mean that we are all born into the world sinners because of Adam's sin? Yes! Adam could only beget children with his ow n nature, and that nature was sinful. All children have to be taught to do right, but they know how to do wrong without being taught. Psalm 51:5. As an illustration of this principle, a metal jellymold gives its shape to all the gelatin desserts or salads that are made in it. If you should drop the metal pattern and it becomes dented, all the future gelatin molds will show the effect of the fall. D. F. Shelley Beryl, Utah 84714 |
