Doctrines Concerning

Sin

D. That all men are sinners. Sin has affected all mankind through the sin nature and each individual's personal acts of sin. The entire universe is affected by sin.

Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

 

Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

 

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 3:23 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 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

 

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Personal Opinion:

Well, that's a little much to say the whole universe if affected by sin. (corrupt?)

The only verse cited that seems to apply, Eph 6:12, I take to be limited to the Earth, the planet we live on.

On rereading Gen 3:17, it would look as if sin first entered the earth when the serpent (who was not a fallen angel but just another one of the animals created on the sixth day along with the other land dwelling creatures and also man) when as I say, the serpent beguiled Eve.  That would be sin number one and it was performed by the serpant

Also, new to me, is the fact that Eve was not under the rule of her husband Adam at the time she listened to the beguiling of the serpent.  So hers was the second sin to take place here on earth.

Then Adam listened to Eve and comes in Jonny-come-lately as the performer of the third sin.
