| ( 321 ) Ro 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin "chatta'ah".
.. not impute sin-offering ..
( 322 ) Ro 5:12 Wherefore , as by one man sin "chatta'ah" entered into the world , and death by sin "chatta'ah"; and so death passed upon all men , for that all have sinned :
.. .. one man sin-offering ..and death by sin-offering ..
When Adam sinned the "sin-offering" entered into the world, and so did death
for the sin-offering requires a human sacrifice, to replace the sinner's death with
the sin-bearer's death, and thus exchange life for life.
There is a phrase here of difficult application. How do we know the Greek
reads properly the original Hebrew ? We don't. Here is the phrase " and so
death passed upon all men , for that all have sinned ". This may be a
Hebrew parallel, stating that one born into the world is born to die, because
of Adam's sin, whether you sinned or not sinned, you still have to die. This
would have been tough for Jesus coming into the world as the second Adam
with Adam's genetic line, Jesus would have been born condemned to death,
while never sinning. Jesus is able to raise Himself back to life after his death, because He did not actually sin Himself.
The other interpretation is the phrase is about people who die for their own sinning. Thus one only dies under the sin-offering if a person does actual sinning of his own. In this case Jesus and ordinary people are born without sinning. Humans becomes sinners later after conception because we do sinning acts.
There is not a lot of context to explain the matter either way, hence people have different opinions.
( 323 ) Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin "chatta'ah" was in the world : but sin "chatta'ah" is not imputed when there is no law .
.. .. (For until the law sin-offering ..in the world but sin-offering ..
The sin-offering only makes sense under the torah that defines the process of the sin-offering.
( 324 ) Ro 5:20 Moreover the law entered , that the offence might abound . But where sin "chatta'ah" abounded , grace did much more abound :
.. abound But where sin-offering ..
The sin-offering process was developed to deal with sinning, and involves the grace and pardon freely given to the sinner by faith.
( 325 ) Ro 5:21 That as sin "chatta'ah" hath reigned unto death , even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord .
.. sin-offering ..
( 326 ) Ro 6:1 � What shall we say then ? Shall we continue in sin "chatta'ah", that grace may abound ?
.. Shall we continue in sin-offering ..
( 327 ) Ro 6:2 God forbid . How shall we, that are dead to sin "chatta'ah", live any longer therein ?
.. we, that are dead to sin-offering ..
Sinning daily and making a sin-offering daily is a contradiction . The sin-bearer
comes to the sinner with power to overcome sinning. Such is the promise of the
sin-offering. So called Christians cannot continue sinning using the sin-offering
as a means of cheap grace.
( 328 ) Ro 6:6 Knowing this , that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin "chatta'ah" might be destroyed , that henceforth we should not serve sin "chatta'ah".
.. .. that the body of sin-offering ..not serve sin-offering ..
Paul personifies the sin-offering. Indeed the sin-offering is a person.
The sin-offering is about different persons, you and your Saviour, as well as
you and Satan. The sinner has to package his or her sinning unto the
sin-offering, so the sin-bearer can process the change in relationship
from you and Satan to you and your Saviour. So it is quite natural
to see the sin-offering personified as an enemy against us.
( 329 ) Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin "chatta'ah".
.. is freed from sin-offering .. Being freed from the
sin-offering is truly freedom from sinning and the penalty of sinning, ie: the eternal second death.
( 330 ) Ro 6:10 For in that he died , he died unto sin "chatta'ah" once : but in that he liveth , he liveth unto God .
.. he died unto sin-offering ..
