Jerry Shugart;4985241]All men have the same nature that Adam had when he was created. Here we see how that is described:
"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" (Gen.2:7).
No Jerry Adam and everyone else is NOT the same. Adam was created by God and everyone else is born from a woman.
This is the way that Job says that he was made:
"The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life" (Job.33:4).
No doubt all life comes from God, which does NOT change the fact that in the garden of Eden Adam disobeyed God.
When the LORD breathed into Adam he received spiritual life. So when He breathed into Job he also received spiritual life, especially since the "spirit" of God made him. But you say that when the LORD breathed into Job he did not receive spiritual life even though the spirit of God made him.
Job received physical life NOT spiritual life and you will never find in scripture that he did.
I have already explained to you that man corrupts himself. And being corrupted means going from a state which is good to one which is bad. So before a man corrupts himself he is in a state of being very good, just like Adam was before he sinned (Gen.1:31). So at the time a person is conceived his heart can only be described as being very good.
You are ignoring the obvious. Have you ever wondered why since Eve was deceived and Adam was not scripture does NOT say all die in Eve ? The reason is Adam was the federal representative of mankind .
Where in the Bible does it EVER say that Adam is the federal head of mankind?
In Adam all die.
1 Cor. 15:45 says, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." The "first Adam" is in reference to the man Adam. The "last Adam" is a reference to the man Jesus. This is why we see that Adam was a type of Christ.
"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come." (Rom. 5:12-14).
Adam was a type of Christ but how so? Jesus didn't sin, yet Adam did. Jesus didn't have an earthly wife, but Adam did. Jesus didn't name all the animals, but Adam did. Adam was the first human man made, Jesus wasn't. In fact, they are opposites in many ways. So how is Adam a type of Jesus? Let's look at more of Rom. 5:15-17 to find out.
"But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 And the 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. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ."
The transgression was from the one man Adam. The free gift is salvation in the one man Jesus. As death reigned through Adam, righteousness will reign through Jesus. Both were sources, one of death, the other of life. Both were representatives, one of all mankind, the other of believers. See also
1 Cor. 15:22 that says, "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive." This is teaching us that Adam and Christ are representative heads. There are those "in Adam" and there are those "in Christ." These are referencing the position of people in relationship to both Adam and Jesus.
