-          Adam sinned and we share in his sin BECAUSE we all have sinned.   JD   JD, Yes, we HAVE sinned, which is why we need a Savior, to deliver us from the penalty and effects of sin, and to free us from the bondage of having to continue sinning.  We not longer HAVE to live in the flesh; now we are FREE to live in the Spirit if we choose.  If we choose to stay in the flesh it shows that the Spirit does not dwell in us.  We will always choose to continue to live in the flesh/sin if we falsely are taught that we have no other option.  The “Good News” is that we are now FREE from sinning, and FREE to live in the Spirit! J Oh, what a happy thought for starting the day!!! Izzy Rom 8: 2For (D)the law of the Spirit of life in (E)Christ Jesus (F)has set you free from the law of sin and of death.        3For (G)what the Law could not do, (H)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in (I)the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,        4so that the (J)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who (K)do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.       5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on (L)the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, (M)the things of the Spirit.       6(N)For the mind set on the flesh is (O)death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,       7because the mind set on the flesh is (P)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,       8and those who are (Q)in the flesh cannot please God.        9However, you are not (R)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God (S)dwells in you But (T)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.        10(U)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.        11But if the Spirit of Him who (V)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, (W)He who raised (X)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.        12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--        13for (Y)if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are (Z)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
