There is some question as to what Romans 5:12-14 is stating.
I've decided to stop using the NASB but will post those verses in both the NASB and the NLT.
ROMANS 5:12-14 NASB
12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—
13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
ROMANS 5:12-14 NLT
12When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
13Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break.
14Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come.
This is the question at hand.....
1. Was sin imputed to man before The Law came into being?
Imputed:
Theology. to attribute (righteousness, guilt, etc.) to a person or persons vicariously; ascribe as derived from another.
Simply put, in my understanding, to impute means to blame me for someone else's sin.
Are we blamed (held guilty) for Adam's sin....
or do we just suffer from the effects of it.
2. What are the effects of it?
