Romans 5:18
King James Version (KJV)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
There isn't much to add to this verse. This verse by itself should bring incredible peace to your hearts and minds. Thinking of loved ones that weren't given the gift of faith before they died. Speaking of death, they are not in either heaven or fiery torment, they are dead, asleep, unconscious. There are many verses that speak of the true state of the dead and I will do a post on that at a later date.
What most "Christians" say this verse says is that Adam screwed us all over and now we are all condemned to burn endlessly in a place called hell, but if we choose to believe out of our own free will in Christ's sacrifice, then we will be saved from that and we will go to heaven instead.
Their version might read:
"Therefore because of Adam's one act we are all condemned to unending fiery torment; but because of what Christ did for us we have a chance to save ourselves by believing in Him."
- ACV (Apostate Church Version)
However, what we actually see in this verse is a parallel. We see that Adam's sin affected all of humanity. Then we see that Christ's action also affects all of humanity.
Unless you are ready to admit that Adam's sin was greater than Christ's sacrifice. You must submit to the truth that Christ really is the Savior of the WORLD.
