Adam who is the figure of him that was to come (1)

In Romans 5:12-14 『Wherefore, 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: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.』 The words “Adam who is the figure of him that was to come” and “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. It has a very direct relationship with that word. In particular, even if someone doesn't say, "You have committed a sin, you are a sinner", all Christians think of themselves as sinners. David said in Psalm 51:5, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 』. People who go to church usually think of themselves as sinners. Everyone thinks that they are sinners, but they don't think that they are sinners because they have committed something. They just talk about sin based on what is happening on earth and what they have done in the world, so they cannot return to God without realizing the sin they committed before God. We all became sinners without our knowledge. We have never thought of ourselves as sinners, but by the teaching of the church, everyone thinks they are sinners. What the church teaches is, "Because Adam rebelled against God's command and ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, all of Adam's descendants became sinners." It is the teaching of the church that all of his descendants became sinners through one Adam. In Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, 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』 Thus, it is said that through one man sin entered the world. In Romans 5:19, the apostle Paul said, "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." Is saying. In 1 Corinthians 15:22, "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive". It is said, "All are dead" in Adam. Because one Adam sinned, all became sinners. 『 Wherefore, 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: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 』 The church is teaching that way. So, Adam became the object of everyone's criticism. Adam became the one who made all the people of the world sinners. Why are we sinners, even those who attend church and those who do not attend church? If you say, it is Adam's original sin. Not all of his descendants became sinners because of Adam. Because of Adam's sin, not all of Adam's descendants were passed on to become sinners. Deuteronomy explains sin. Deuteronomy 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. 』 God delivered Israel from Egypt and gave them the law. This means that there must not be a father who dies because of his children, or that a child dies because of his father. In Jeremiah 31:30, "But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. "did. In Ezekiel 18:2-4『 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.』 The saying, “All descendants are sinners, because Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” is wrong. Jeremiah 31:30 reads 『But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.』 God will give the house of Israel and Judah a new covenant, and the new covenant is not the same as the old covenant, and the new covenant is written in the hearts and minds of people, and those who are not written in that thought, that is, those who do not come into the covenant of God. Die. All those who have entered the covenant of God live, and it is said, "As you say, it is not logical for a father to be wrong and a child to die instead." The idea that “humans became sinners because of Adam, and because of Adam we are disciplined before God and die” is completely unfounded and wrong. However, Romans 5:12-21 has many such nuances. But it is not. If we look at Romans 5:12, we can see “Wherefore, 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』 In the expression "since came into the world through Adam," the world means the world created by God. In other words, it should be noted that the saying, "sin was not caused by one Adam, but sin entered the world." Saying “sin has entered the world” shows that sin has come from outside the world. It means that before God created the world, there is another world outside. At first, only the kingdom of God existed, but when we say that it came from outside the world, we can know that sin came from the kingdom of God. If we misunderstand, we can misunderstand that there was no sin in the world, but sin came from outside the world. The world in which humans live is sinful. However, there is no sin in the kingdom of God. When sin occurs in the kingdom of God, it is immediately expelled. It is this world where the spirits were expelled, and the sin that occurred in the kingdom of God entered this world through Adam. The apostle Paul explains that evil spirits came into the world through Adam from outside the world. The idea that "this world is naturally sinless, but sin has come in and has become a state of evil and inevitable destruction" is a very wrong idea. God created this world for the purpose of creation. The kingdom of God is sinless. If sin occurs in the kingdom of God, is it likely that the kingdom of God will become a dirty kingdom of God because sin is prevalent like this world? No, sin is driven out. The world into which sin has entered is created in the absence of God, where sin is inevitable. God is the one who cannot stay with sin. People may ask, "It's a world created by God, but why doesn't God exist and doesn't interfere?" This world is like a prison, and there is no God. God showed this world as a shadow. Physical light is also a shadow of God's light, and so is God's Son coming into the world when God came into this world. He is God, but he came as a son of God seen by humans. That is Jesus. Sin came into the world through Adam as a passage from outside the world through one Adam. 『Wherefore, 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: 』This means "through Adam, sin entered the world from outside the world." Sin entered the world in the same way for everyone. It is wrong to say that all men are sinners because of Adam eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In Genesis 28:12, 『And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it』 And in John 1:51, "And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man』 This is a picture of Christ bringing his people (evil spirits) into the earth, giving them a body through Adam, and giving them a spirit body through the last Adam to return to the kingdom of God.
