Have you lot always wondered why the whole human race was punished for Adam's sin, suffering for something nosotros didn't do?
It's because Adam was our "representative" (Romans 5:12-15).
When God tested Adam, He was testing the human race (Romans 5:12).
Although the Bible doesn't specifically tell it, I believe we'd convey done just what Adam did if nosotros were inward his position.
I admit, it's difficult to fully empathize this concept, but nosotros tin trust God's justice.
"I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, jurist as well as righteousness on earth, for inward these I delight,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:24
Only ane time did God punish an innocent man:
Jesus "was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the penalisation that brought us peace was on him, as well as past times his wounds nosotros are healed." Isaiah 53:5
And the adept intelligence is this: "Just equally nosotros are directly similar the earthly man, nosotros volition someday live on similar the heavenly man." 1 Corinthians 15:45-49
