DaveH, is there some Mormon passage of Scripture that makes your point about this? I would be very interested in reading it. Please provide for us a reference. I pointed out a passage before to you that referred to Adam's transgression as sin. Maybe you missed it. I will discuss this in a little more detail this time. Consider the following passage which refers to it as sin several times: Wherefore, as by one man SIN entered into the world, and DEATH BY SIN; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not SINNED AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF ADAM'S TRANSGRESSION, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if THROUGH THE OFFENCE OF ONE MANY BE DEAD, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was BY ONE THAT SINNED, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. (Romans 5:12-16 KJV) You have previously agreed that transgression and sin often is used interchangeably, but you claimed that such was not the case with Adam's transgression. In the above passage, it seems to me very clear that "sin" and "transgression" and "offense" are used interchangeably about Adam's sin. Furthermore, it specifically calls Adam's transgression sin, when it says, "BY ONE THAT SINNED." Substitute the antecedent of "ONE" and this passage would read, "BY ADAM THAT SINNED." The passage also calls Adam's transgression sin by saying, "SINNED AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF ADAM'S TRANSGRESSION." Also compare the phrase, "through the offence of one many be dead" with the earlier phrase, "DEATH BY SIN." There you will see that "the offence" (Adam's transgression) is used interchangeably with the word "sin" in "DEATH BY SIN." Comments? Peace be with you.
