Wait Doug..if all men are dead..how can they "choose " Christ? Can a dead man hear? Can a dead man see? Can a dead man choose to be alive?..You may believe pas always means all BUT you do not REALLY believe all are dead..you just think they are a bit weak and sickly right? See we keep coming back to tha fall...that you do not want to discuss..*grin*
You crack me up!
Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Beause of Adam, we will all surely die physically and spiritually. But because of Christ, we can live.
