Adam and Eve: Clarifying Again What is at Stake
- Sept. 3, 2011 - Some postmodern teachers, like Brian McLaren, deny the literal interpretation of the creation
story. Albert Mohler explains that this view is a rejection of a clear biblical teaching and the denial of
the biblical doctrine of the Fall, leading to a very different way of telling the story of the Bible and the
meaning of the Gospel. It also misses the essential point made by Paul in Romans, chapter 5.
- Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men
because all sinned—for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is
no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam,
who was a type of the one who was to come.
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace
of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not
like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the
free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned
through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness
reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. [Romans 5:12-17]
