According to Christians all the human kind carried the burden of Adam and Eve's sins. How illogical?

Question

Jesus had to pay the price to free us from adam & Eves sins & our own sins? How superstitious! Eve was more to be blamed & so womenhood has to pay the price more? In Islam we believe no one is to be blamed for someone elses sins & only the sinner has to bear the burden. We believe Adam & Eve themselves payed the price & both were equally responsible. Cristians explain your logic.

Answer 1

I though Islam believed in balance

Answer 2

Suppose you had a loaf of bread dough that was unleavened ( no yeast). If you add even the slightest pinch of yeast, what will happen? The entire loaf, when baked, will contain yeast. Why? Because all the slices of bread still come from the original loaf that was corrupted. Adam and Eve are the first humans, and the originators of us all. Since all of us are their genetic descendants, we all inherited sin and imperfection from them physically through our DNA, RNA, etc.
This could be considered unfair, except God provided the ransom through His son, Jesus Christ. One man, Adam ( and Eve) ruined perfection for us all, but another perfect man, Jesus Christ, regained that for us as long as we live in accordance with divine principles.
I have heard before that womankind is blamed more for what happened in the Garden of Eden, but we must remember that God ousted BOTH Adam and Eve from the Garden, not one or the other. Besides, God also required respect for women and mothers in both the Old and New Testaments.
As a Christian and a woman, I have never felt that women were blamed for Eve's mistake, especially because no one FORCED Adam to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Eve was tricked into it by the serpent, and Adam knowingly disobeyed God.

Answer 3

when Eve fell with Satan and then got Adam into it somehow our DNA and bloodline was corrupted. Mabe Eve really didnt bite the fruit but rather had sexual relations with Satan and thats how the line of Cain came about. However I am still pondering that therory. The fall was more than disobedience and it is more than our mnds can possibly comprehend. I believe Jesus as God himself came down as a man and had his blood shed to end the curse and that is why we should all be greatful.

I think the more you dive into this topic and science the more you will understand the bible and how it really makes sense.
It is a very complex book and you really must mediate and read on it to really see what the heck was going on back then.
I would alsi encourage you to read the Book Of Enoch
it use to be part of the original bible but some how it was thrown out because many people believed it was to deep and to much info. If you do a web search on the Book Of Enoch you can even find copies of it online for free. It is truly an amazing book and fills in alot of missing detail that really helps explain the bible.

To me its like a missing manual.

I am glad I took the time to read deeper into the bible instead of dismissing it because my life is truly different now and I feel stronger to overcome alot of demonic things that are in our world.

Answer 4

emphasis on the "stressful." Why won't be able to they element to scriptures like Genesis 18:sixteen-19:29, Ezekiel sixteen:40 8-50, Jude 7, Romans a million:26-27, a million Corinthians 6:8-10, Colassians 3:5-6, and a million Timothy a million:9-10 extremely than scuffling with like playground toddlers and spewing lies like, "God hates fags," or that he's happy while they die (i.e. the Westboro Baptist Church). If that have been genuine then Ezekiel 18:23 and 18:32, John 3:15-17, 2 Peter 3:8-9, and Romans 8:31-39 might might desire to be fake. :/ extraordinarily stressful...no longer humorous

Answer 5

You're wrong, in God's hierarchy Adam was the head of that household and is held accountable for Eve's sin.

Islam also teaches that the innocent blood of infidels can be shed if they are not converted. Explain that logic.

Nobody carries the burden of Adam's sin, but through Adam sin entered mankind.

Answer 6

If I were (I am not) an abusive alcoholic that sleeps with countless men to support my crack habit behind my husbands back in front of my children.....is that not my sin? I pay for it but who pays the greater price? The children do, the husband does too but lets face it it would take a moron not to see what his wife is doing. It does not stop there many times, it is generational.
Now explain you logic how only the sinner pays for their sins.,

Answer 7

WRONG... I know that it is taught, but it is NOT supported by SCRIPTURE. Lots of "churches" teach their own doctrines and traditions rather than the Bible.

Guilt of sin is NOT passed down to succeeding generations. Ezekiel 18 makes this VERY clear.

When you realize this, you understand that the doctrines of "immaculate conception" and infant baptism are both meaningless. NO ONE is born with the guilt of sin. Since everyone is born innocent, there is no need to FIGURE OUT some way for Jesus to be born without guilt for Adam's sin. Ezekiel chapter 18 presents a hypothetical family of alternating good and evil fathers and sons to illustrate this point. Here are some excerpts:

Ezekiel 18:1 A message came to me from the LORD. He said, 2 “You people have a proverb about the land of Israel. What do you mean by it? It says, “‘The parents eat sour grapes. But the children have a bitter taste in their mouths.’

--> 3 “You will not use that proverb in Israel anymore,” announces the LORD and King. “And that is just as sure as I am alive. 4 Everyone belongs to me. Father and son alike belong to me.
--> People will die because of their own sins.

[ God presents a hypothetical family of alternating good and evil fathers to explain this teaching:]

5 “Suppose a godly man does what is fair and right.
...
9 He follows my rules. He is faithful in keeping my laws. He always does what is right. You can be sure he will live,” announces the LORD and King. 10 “But suppose he has a mean son who harms other people. The son commits murder. Or he does some other things that are wrong.
...14 “But suppose that son has a son of his own. And the son sees all of the sins his father commits. He sees them, but he does not do them.
...17 ... He will not die because of his father’s sin. You can be sure he will live. 18 But his father will die because of his own sin. He got rich by cheating others. He robbed his relatives. He also did what was wrong among his people.

--> 19 “But you still ask, ‘Is the son guilty along with his father?’ No! The son did what was fair and right. He was careful to keep all of my rules. So you can be sure he will live.

Read the whole chapter and you will see I have not lifted the passage out of its context. I just skipped sections that elaborate on what they did or did not do. (NIrV)

Answer 8

...Gah...
No buddy, your wrong with your thinking.
True in Christianity we believe that Adam and Eve commited the first sin, after they ate of the fruit Sin was introduced into the world, and they were forever changed to a sinful creature. We, being the descendents of Adam and Eve are changed as well. When everyman is born, he cant help but sin. Its simply our nature.
No a woman is no diffrent spiritually as any man.
Yes Christ died for our sins, Adam and Eve's included. The payment for their sin, was death. I agree with you when you say that nobody is guilty for your sins, except for you.

Okay...since you obviously have a "great" understanding of the Christian faith, I'm sure you know about how the Jews use to sacrafice. Spilling the blood of a lamb to cover up their sins, God would take that offering, but they would have to do it year in and year out. Jesus is called the Lamb of God, a perfect Sacrafice, a sacrafice that wouldnt have to be renewed. That is why he died for us. We no longer have to sacrafice lambs and goats to be square with God, Jesus sacraficed himself to pay the debt of humankind.

Answer 9

Everyone is connected to one another. In biblical culture, and in the Middle Eastern culture today, if one member of the family committed a crime, any one of them could be held responsible. This actually stems from some wisdom in knowing that we're all connected to each other and are responsible for one another. After Cain murdered Abel, God asked him where he was, and Cain replied "Am I my brother's keeper?" The only reason that's in the Bible is to make the point that you ARE your brother's keeper, we are responsible for one another. God will ask us what we did or didn't do to try to help bring ppl to Christ, bc we are responsible for helping them get to heaven. Whether they listen to us is another matter, but we need to try.

Bc of this connection, the consequences of Adam and Eve's sin have passed on to us. This is another lesson. As General Maximus in the movie Gladiator said "what we do in life, echoes in eternity." Our actions today, affect tomorrow, and next week, and a millienium from now. I speak some spanish (a Romance language) bc the Romans existed. And so, Adam and Eve's sin affects us today. But regardless of what you think is fair, the fact is that you have sin like everyone else, and you need Christ to remove it. I hope you follow Him so you can get to heaven.

Answer 10

God's plan for man was to be sinless and live forever. He gave Adam and Eve a simple rule to follow, they didn't and because of it they suffered and all their "children" would suffer until Jesus came ... we are no longer bound by sin because of the blood Jesus shed.

Answer 11

You have a great misunderstanding of our belief system, so I can see why you think it would be superstitious.

Jesus didn't come to free us from Adam and Eve's sins, He came to free us from our own sins. According to your belief, each sinner bears the burden of their owns sin. In our belief, Jesus freed us from that burden so that we can be closer to God and not be weighted down by the law.
