sins. 1 have heard a number of
brethren preach the above doctrine
and they all quote Rom. $40, For
/ was alive without the law once;
but when the commandment came,
sin revived, and I died" From this
scripture they tell us that the child
is not a sinner until he reaches the
years of accountability.
Now let us take a look at the
Scripture. In John 1928 we read:
''The next day he saw Jesus coming
toward him, and said," Behold the
Lamb of God, who taketh away the
sin of the world. american revised
New TESTAMENT Again we read:
who his own self bare our sins"
(pluraD in his own body on the
tree, that we, being dead to sins,
should live unto righteousness: by
whose stripes we were healed" Il
John 1929 and l Pet. 2:24, come
from the same Greek word. CHER
malta - young'O. Now, if the bre-
thren are correct that Jesus Destroy
ed Adamic sin, then why not go
all the way and tell us that Christ
destroyed our sins? In that case
we would have no sin, nor sins.
Such teaching is purely the teach
ing of Christian Scientist In Lev.
16 we have the lesson of the Scape
Goat bearing the sins of the people
but the people had to bring the
goats, which is a symbol Of faith in
Jesus Christ" For God so loved the
world that he gave his only begot-
ten Son. that whatsoever believeth
in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. John 3:16. The
scape goat bore the sins of those
who brought the goats. Just so
Christ does not take any ones sin
and sins away unit The believes in
Him.
If the teaching that Christ destroy
the Bible tells us: Wherefore, as
by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so
ed all Adamic sin is true, then we
have no sins at all. First: because
death passed upon all men, for that
all have sinned. Therefore as by
the offense of one judgment came
upon all men to condemnation; even
so by the righteousness of one the
free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life" But verse one
of this chapter tells us that this
justification come through faith.
from. SLID From the Scriptures
cited we learn that by Adams Of
tense judgment came upon all men
to condemnation. 1t follows that
the unbeliever does not bring the
condemnation upon himself, unbe-
lief merely confirms his condemna-
ton brought by Adams sin or of
fence. Hence we read: HE that be-
lieyeth on him is not condemned;
but ne that believeth not is consum-
ed already, because he hath not be-
Iieved in the name of the only be-
gotten Son of God. "He that believe
n not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on
him.. John 3:18, 36). Christ went
back to heaven in A. D. 33 and in
A. D. so Paul says "By one man
sin entered into the world, and
death by sin. Also about the same
II
in Adam" Il Cor. 1920. Now to
destroy Adamic sin would also de-
stroy death, but men still continue
dying No one I presume denies
that Christ takes away sin and bears
our sins, but he does not take our
sin or sins away until we believe
in him, and the full consumation Of
taking away sins will not be ac-
complished until the resurrection.
Now before you read this second
paragraph please go back and read
the opening paragraph of this ar
ticle. Then note the following: If
the infant is born in a saved state,
born in Christ, under the blood and
follows that when he comes to know
good and evil Christ cast the saved
infant out and forces the once in
Christ infant to become a sinner, a
lost sinner, thereby putting him on
the road to hell. Such teaching is
the meanest teaching on falling from
grace. The brethren who teach such
doctrine, tell us that the fall of
Adam brought Spiritual death but
did not bring physical death. But
when Paul, in / Cor. 1922 wrote it:
'In Adam all die" he was GER
tainly speaking of physical death
and the resurrection of the physical
body.
When Paul wrote: For I was
alive without the law once; but
when the commandment came sin
revived, and I died." (Rom. 7:9.
