Why Females Are Closer To Allah |
In the United States and globally, men die by suicide at a rate roughly 3 to 4 times higher than women. So why do you frequently hear preachers say evil and death entered the world because of the original sin of Eve?
Paul is responsible for it. In Paul’s Epistle to the Romans (5:12–21), Paul sees Adam’s sin as producing a situation in which humans are forever alienated from God, which leads to death.
Of course, in Christian theology, Jesus provides the cure for this situation, and belief in Jesus gives one access to eternal life; and this is a good selling point.
“If, because of the one man’s trespass, death exercised dominion through that one [man], much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Therefore, just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all.” (Romans 5:17–18)
These words sound terrible to Jews and Muslims. The Torah states: “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, neither shall children be put to death for their fathers: every one shall be put to death for his [or her] own sin.” (Deuteronomy 24:16)
