Question 26. How is original sin transmitted from our ancestors to their descendants?

Answer. Original sin is transmitted from our ancestors to their descendants by the natural method of reproduction, so all descendants born from our ancestors by the natural method of reproduction are conceived and born in sin.

 

Original sin is the desire to become like God. The first person to have this desire appears as Eve in the Garden of Eden. Eve is the symbol of the evil angels in the Kingdom of God. The angels who sinned in the Kingdom of God wanted to become like God, so they opposed God and left God, which is greed and sin. The content of Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4 is shown as a picture of the Garden of Eden. 

Sin is the desire to be like God, and breaking God's commandments is the result of sin, and the result of sin is death. Those who think breaking the commandments is sin do not understand spiritual death. Sin did not begin in the world, but in the kingdom of God.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned.

All people enter the body of flesh through the passage of the body of sin that is passed down from the first man. Therefore, original sin is not passed down to the next generation, but people are born into the world with their own sins committed in the kingdom of God.

One person is the first man Adam. It is translated as “because of one man,” which means “through one man.” The first man Adam is the passage through which sin entered the world. In other words, the word passage means the body through which sin passes. Therefore, the body of sin is the passage of sin. The “body of sin” in Romans 6:6 is called “to soma tes hamartias” (τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας) in Greek, which is not the body of a lump of sin, but rather a vessel that contains sin. If we think of sin as an object, it is like a vessel that contains sin.

The first man Adam plays that role. So the first man is Christ. The body of sin that was passed down from the first man was passed down to Jesus Christ. Jesus received the body of sin from Mary, but he is without sin. Since Jesus died on the cross, those who are in Christ also died to the body of sin, and the body of sin disappeared.

Romans 6:6-7 "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin."

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...

Healing a man with a withered hand

  Healing a man with a withered hand Mark 3:1-5 『 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 』 The Greek word for “ the man which had the withered hand ” is “ ἐ ξηραμμέ νην ἔ χων τ ὴ ν χε ῖ ρα” . In Revelation 14:15, “ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; “ Exerande ” is the same wor...
