Was it sins or was it one sin, adams?
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 8:18 pm
I am wondering why sins is pluralised in scripture when it pertains to the atonement and in fact it seems that Paul could be speaking of only one sin that was covered and its consequences.
Out of curiosity what sin do you think was covered?
looking at the word hamartia.

This is pertaining to Paul as he speaks about sin, and it looks to me Paul is not speaking of all sin but is speaking of one sin, adams sin which seperated the whole of humanity giving us the reign of death and sin.
This can also cover 1 john 1:7 when scripture says "all sin" which could simply mean the whole of adams sin and its consequence death reigning over us. Then comes along Christ who gives life and has justified all to life...
