Doctrines Concerning

The origin, nature, and destiny of human beings

 

E. All mankind, being Adam's seed, fell with him inheriting the sin nature. That sin nature causes
man to sin individually and brings the condemnation of original sin upon him.

Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Rom 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:

Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom 5:12 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:

 

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

 

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 Personal Opinion:

So, there are two books. 

The first has many volumes and in it are recorded all the deeds of all people who ever existed on earth.  The theory seems to be that all come out looking pretty bad, bad enough to be cast into the Lake of Fire and maybe even for ever and ever, just as are the Beast and The False Prophet.

But hold on, there is another book.  It contains only a list of names, the names of those who have "feared the Lord"

Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

This is the "Book of Life".  I would like to know more about this book.

Also, I would like to know more as to how the very young, the very feeble minded, and the very righteous such as Enoch come out in the first book.
