I totally agree that man is conceived in sin and born an enemy to GOD. But it is anathema to me that man is created that way by GOD putting us into Adam and making us to inherit his sin! Nor can sinful man, enslaved to sin, have a free will because that renders our Lord's words enslaved to sin into mere babble.
I worship a GOD who is holy who will not go against HIS own nature and create that which is evil or sinful by any means such as using the surrogate Adam. Such a libelous theology would seem to be a holdover from the early church's fights with the gnostics as it was the gnostics who claimed that there were two eternal gods, one holy and one evil and then immature Christians who accepted the belief in ONE GOD also started to accept that GOD must have created evil and kept the interpretation of scripture that supported that blasphemy.
Ecc 7:29 Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes. and the most horrendous of these schemes was to accept the creation of sinfulness in man to be the work of our holy GOD merely because we are conceived and born as sinners.
Sin and estrangement from GOD only accrues to a person who makes a free will decision to go against GOD. We are not created evil in Adam - we were created with a free will and chose to be sinful and then, as sinners already, we are sown (not created) into Adam, Matt 13:36-39.
