Adam was created innocent not righteous..

God foresaw the sin of Adam and made provision for it in advance ..so the Saviour was provided before they were created

What set Jesus apart was he was born a spotless lamb...you my friend were not ..

Tell me Hank In the last 2000 years how many men remained sinless...certainly if there is no original sin someone other than Christ must have lived a sinless life...who??

So now you base your beliefs on a conjecture. But it is a false one. Adam and Eve, and all the angels were created sinless, and Adam and Eve, and probably 1/3 of the angels sinned.

After the fall, man became "physcially" depraved, mortal, and subject to disease and easily inflamed desires in a world also under the curse. If man could not keep from sinning when in perfect health, in paradise, walking daily with God, why do you suppose he would be able to keep from sinning in such an imperfect state. Your assumption is completely baseless.

(Remember, temptation is not sin. After the fall, I believe temptation became much greater than before. I also believe that Jesus sufferred the same temptation, proving that a man could resist it if he chose to. However, Jesus is the only man who ever did resist it, and the only one that ever will.)

Now, please explain the difference here: Adam was created innocent not righteous.

I do not think you will find that distinction in Scripture.

Hank
