There is no "inherent righteousness" - "there's no one righteous. No, not even one."
Yes, that is what I declared as to the fundamental truth of the Christian doctrine of original sin.
There's only original sin which ORIGINATED from Adam.
Yes, that is orthodox Christian teaching.
An inconvenient, even offensive yet biblical fact is that we're NOT directly made in the image of God, but in the image of Adam - a sinner, whose original image of God was tainted by sin.
Yes, that is orthodox Christian teaching.
Jesus was sinless because He was the second Adam made directly in the image of God, not indirectly in the image of Adam.
Jesus was not made in the image of God because He is God. However, Scripture says Christ was made of flesh, that is, a man (John 1:14), a descendant of David (Romans 1:3), in the likeness of sinful flesh (Romans 8:3), yet without sin (2 Cor. 5:21). Thus, the orthodox Christian doctrine of the hypostatic -ὑπόστασις- union of Christ: fully God and fully man; two distinct natures, unmixed, united in one person. Yes, He is the second Adam, meaning He was sent to accomplish what the first Adam did not do: live a sin free life in perfect obedience to God the Father, thus, qualifying as a sin offering on behalf of His people, the Elect of God. There is also implied the Christian doctrine of Imputation, whereby Adam's first sin of disobedience in the Garden was imputed to all men, as if they, too, had committed that sin with Adam because they were/are all in his loins as his progeny, though not yet born. Romans 5:12-14 highlights the fact that all men died, even though there was no law prior to Moses which they broke. Rather, they died because they were imputed [charged] with committing the sin of Adam, though they had not literally committed the same sin as Adam. This truth is also taught in Hebrews 7:9-10, by the example of Levi in the loins of Abraham. This principle of Imputation is clearly taught in 2 Cor. 5:21 where we are told Christ's righteousness is credited to our account, while our sins are charged to Christ, who paid them in full.
We do not bear Adam's personal sin, we bear the consequence of his sin which entered the world through him
By this statement, you contradict the Scriptures I cited above.
Keep in mind that while Eve was deceived by the serpent, Adam wasn't, he knew better, he made a conscious and informed decision to act against God's instruction.
Yes, that is why he is charged with the sin, as we read in Romans 5 and 1 Timothy 2:14.
As I said, God will judge accordingly on an individual basis, not group identities, it is not our place to speculate. You neglected God's tendency of picking and saving the most unlikely people, whom you think as the "elect believers" may be modern day pharisees and sadduccees, whom you think as mentally impaired or morally corrupt may be modern day tax collector or Roman centurion, we'll never know whose names are really written in that book, conventional wisdom may be deceitful.
I never said otherwise. Nor have I ever speculated. However, relying on a deathbed conversion I believe is counter to the whole testimony of God, primarily because God is not mocked (Galatians 6:7), and repentance is the gift of God alone (Acts 11:18; 2 Timothy 2:25).
Thus far you have neglected to respond to the central theme of my post: God saves only those whom He loves. His love cannot fail to save. Those who died in the Flood, as well as those who occupy Hell, He never loved, nor did He ever will to save them.
