Nguyên tội và Hoàn toàn bại hoại

(Sự quy tội / Imputation of sin)

‘While the imputation of Adam’s sin was immediate according to the evidence of the relevant passages, the judgment of condemnation passed upon Adam, and hence upon all men in him, is in Scripture seen as confirmed in its justice and propriety by every man’s subsequent moral experience. Thus Rom. 3:23 ‘all have sinned’ is amply proved by reference to the specific, overt sins of Jews and Gentiles (Rom. 1:18–3:8) before Paul makes any reference whatever to imputation in Adam. In similar vein Scripture universally relates man’s ultimate judgment before God to his ‘works’ which fall short of God’s standards (cf. Mt. 7:21-27; 13:41; 25:31-46; Lk. 3:9; Rom. 2:5-10; Rev. 20:11-14).’
