year. The Law required an eye for
an eye, tooth for tooth, mans
life for a mans life, which implies
that perfect man must of necessity
die in order to be the Redeemer Of
Adam and the race which shared his
condemnation. The bullock of the sin
offering, therefore. was merely a type
of q better sacrifice. The true sacri-

The Paradise lost when Adam sinned
