First can I point out, again, that you are a moron. I know I say this virtually every time I engage in conversation with you, but I firmly believe that saying it over and over enough times will make me right. In fact, everyone I drive to insanity by the nonsensical and frequently insulting nature of my posts just proves my point by not being able to come up with a reply.
>Adam was mankind's representative so when he sinned we all sinned.
Like that makes sense!? We didn't even exist. Germany was at war with the US, but there were individual citizens who were not at war with the US, and they weren't punished for being in Germany. Not that it would make sense even if your example did hold up - the US doing something doesn't necessarily make it a sensible thing to do.
Why was Adam mankind's representative anyway? Dad =/= representative.
>God gives all some form of grace, so the original ruling was rather lenient thanks to Christ’s work for us.
How gracious is a god that advocates stoning the members of one's family to death if they misbehave (note: being raped is misbehaving, sorry ladies), sacrificing the first born of all your animals (and another one in place of your own), drowning people who do bad stuff, cursing a man's entire species for eating some fruit his wife gave him after being told to by a talking snake, mentally torturing people and sacrificing his own son to himself?
