The Victims:
We are all victims. Yes, all of humanity.
How are we all victims? We are all victims
as we have all inherited the punishment of
the original sin from our first parents.
Romans 5:12, 19
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into
the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned. [v19] For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners,
so by the obedience of one shall many
be made righteous.
Holy LORD GOD:
The original sin was a single action of
disobedience against only one restriction
given to Adam & then Eve. Later, the perfect
Law was given where judgment and righteousness
were defined under a set of holy commandments.
We did not commit the original sin but we
all suffer the consequences of such judgment
for the covenant with death has reached us all.
Who's Innocent:
Does that mean we are innocent of sin? No.
We are not innocent as we have both the
inheritance of carnal flesh of the lower nature,
as well as the many things we do in ignorance
that oppose the Creator's original design, which
was to fellowship in perfect love with Him and
each other.
Our fallen humanity away from the very presence
of the LORD has created internal strife where
we oppose ourselves when we do the very things
we do not wish to do.
2 Timothy 2:24-26
And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach,
patient, [v25] In meekness instructing those
that oppose themselves; if God peradventure
will give them repentance to the acknowledging
of the truth; [v26] And [that] they may recover
themselves out of the snare of the devil, who
are taken captive by him at his will.
