Romans 5:1-21
In verse 12 we find how sin entered into the world, and how the penalty
of death for sin was passed upon all men because as far as God was concerned
ALL had sinned. Friends, it wasn't your own personal sin that was sending
you to hell, and it wasn't your own personal confession of Christ that
was sending you to heaven and your sins had been forgiven. The same
way that sin entered into the world by the disobedience of one man (ADAM),
so it is with the obedience of another man (Christ) that righteousness
was impute upon ALL men.
These last 10 verses of Romans chapter 5 pretty much tells it all concerning
the sin that entered into the world through one man, and the righteousness
that entered into the world for all men through the obedience of another
man. Now, religion and its legalistic controlling and manipulating leaders
have perverted these passages so much that they have developed their
own gospel of exclusion. They do not accept, believe, teach or preach
that just as sin entered into the world by the disobedience of Adam,
so did righteousness entered into the world and upon all men through
the obedience of Christ.
The Evangelical Christian Church continues to preach and teach that
only the goody, goody, juicy and fruity who have made Jesus their Lord
and have accepted Him as Savior are the only ones who will be counted
as being righteous before God. These charlatan's, deceiver and manipulators
of today are the "Far-you-see's" and "Sad-you-see's" of Jesus days.
Everything they teach and preach is based on who is a sinner and who
isn't. Yet we go back to the 3rd chapter of Romans verses 10 through
12 and we hear Paul saying: "There's none righteous, no not one, for
ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Friends, in truth, what these so called men of the cloth, men of God,
men of the bible are preaching and teaching is the very perverted "other
gospel" that Paul rebuked the "3 Amigos" for preaching in Galatians
chapters 1 through 6. These are the ones that Paul said of in verse
18 of Romans chapter 16: "For they that are such serve not our
Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (Fat Cats) and
by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
Evangelical Christianity is a money making business and mind destroying
witchcraft system. They are all "Fat Cats." Out to satisfy their own
belly at the expense of people's hearts and minds.
They are an exact replica of the old time "Far-you-see's" and "Sad-you-see's."
Either Jesus died for all of the sins or sin that entered into the whole
world, and caused the whole world to be found guilty of sin without
exception before God, or what Jesus did on the cross was a total lie.
There is no getting around these truths. I know that for the religious
mind this is unacceptable, controversial and different. But the words
of the apostle Paul are loud and clear: "Wherefore, as by ONE
man sin (unbelief) entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon ALL, ALL, ALL (not some) men, for that
ALL have sinned."
Now, verses 13 through 17 are in parenthesis. Meaning that the writers
of 1611 put their own words in as to make it more clear for everyone
to see the point that Paul was trying to make. So in all honesty verse
12 is followed by verse 18. The emphasis is on the word "ONE." "Therefore,
as by the offense of ONE judgment came upon ALL men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of ONE the FREE GIFT (It
cannot be earned nor worked for) came upon ALL men unto
justification (just as if we had never sinned) of life."
Friends, sin brought us all under the penalty of death because of ONE
man (Adam), and now because of ONE man (Christ) we all have life. Why
the Evangelical Church and other world religions don't teach it as clearly
as it is stated, beats me. However, I do know that verse 18 of Romans
chapter 16 is clearly being addressed to those who refused to accept
that just as ONE man messed it all up for everyone, so another man made
it right for ALL. It doesn't get any more simpler than this. What troubles
practically all of these flight by night, think they know it all preachers,
who believe they have a special hold on God's robe, is verse 1 of chapter
6 of Romans.
The only way to understand verse 1 of chapter 6 is by asking: "How do
we continue in sin and where does sin gets its strength from?"
To be continued....
