The Sin Problem Doesn’t Just Go Away

Romans 5:12-14

Sin is something that people want to get rid of one way or another. Sin is a part of human nature and so is the desire to get rid of it. The system that governs by the internal presence of the mark of the beast has an interesting way to deal with sin. They simply turn everybody into human robots. The internal presence forms thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and they don’t need input from human sentimentality. Especially not humanness that embraces the Spirit of Jesus Christ. In fact, the internal government sets itself up as God and discards Jesus Christ and considers the Holy Spirit to be something that they can imitate within emotions. So, if a person feels righteous all is OK. There is no acknowledgement from the society of human robots that sin exists at all. Therefore, the Bible is not needed, the church is not needed (although they dominate the church), Jesus Christ is not needed, and Christians are not needed. Which leads to the persecution of Christians from the hands of those who feel righteous in everything that they do.

The sin that I see in the society of human robots turns me away from them, away from their society, and towards the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit turning me away from the inhumane and cold-hearted ways of those who live by the internal government. The Bible reveals to me that the sinful nature of everybody is the cause of all the conflict and calloused behavior. By coming to God through Jesus Christ my sins are removed to make room for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit turns me away from those who mock God, discards Jesus Christ, and causes heartache, grief, and distress for Christians. The Bible enabled me to see the system of the mark of the beast that exists today. I believe every word when the Bible says through one person, Adam, all of humanity has inherited sin. Only through the second Adam, Jesus Christ, is sin atoned for.

Paul explains that everyone are sinners, even the Jewish people. Just because they are the only ones who have the law (Old Testament), doesn’t exempt them from their sinful nature. When Adam sinned against God, it polluted every single person after him. By that sin, every person died to God. The law was necessary to make them aware of their sin. Without that law, there would be no awareness of sin, and everyone would have continued living against God. Even if a person was perfect in every detail of the law, they were still corrupted by sin. These are the teachings of Jesus Christ that totally infuriated the church leaders, infuriated them to the point of plotting His death. It is only through Jesus Christ that a person is cleansed from sin in the eyes of God. Jesus Christ is the second Adam in the sense that the first Adam was created without sin. The only difference between the two is that Jesus remains sinless.

 “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, 
and in this way, death came to all people, because all sinned—
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given,
but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. 
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses,
even over those who did not sin by breaking a command,
as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.”
Romans 5:12-14
