View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 21 Jun, 2010 01:58 PM Headship = servant leadership God created Adam before Eve. He created Eve from Adam and for Adam, not as an autonomous person. He gave Adam charge over caring for the Garden of Eden and naming the animals. God called upon Adam first to give account for the sin that he and Eve committed. Those are things that come to mind off the top of my head. Post Reply
View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 21 Jun, 2010 02:07 PM Pixy, maybe I should clearify. What is the headship of Adam as spoken about in Romans chapter 5. Adam being the federal head of the human race, and what this means. Post Reply
View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 21 Jun, 2010 03:19 PM Oh... that kind of headship... haha... Romans 5:12-21 is explaining that: x Sin entered the world through Adam and is passed on. x The penalty for sin (death) was also passed on to everybody. x Just like the sin and punishment was passed from one person to many people (everybody!), God's gift of justification and righteousness through grace comes via one person: Christ.

View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 21 Jun, 2010 10:04 PM Well, what I feel would be more accurate to say would be that the Fall is a particular incident in which man sinned for the first time and thereby brought sin into the human race to be passed on to all generations, but that all future persons do individually participate in sin and are individually responsible for that sin.

shepherdingking View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 22 Jun, 2010 07:25 AM The term headship has erroneously been used to mean leadership or authority of men over women. The term "headship" is not found in the bible but that does not prevent people from making up meanings for words to promote false teachings. The most common false teaching is that man is the head of the home. "1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. The meaning of head is the the source that set in motion.It is closer to a river head rather than simple head knowledge. Even though Christ was sent by God. Man came from Christ who created all things. But woman came out of man. The most prominent part is the head which cannot be overlooked. That is what head covering is about. A woman needs her head covered because of angles. A man needs his head be uncovered because he is to let God's glory shine through him.The river head starts in motion the entire course of the river of life or death. Through Adam all have sinned. And the life of the head has influence on all that come after. The term headship has erroneously been used to mean leadership or authority of men over women. But according to flesh she is a woman. But spiritually she is also one of mankind and joint heirs. Woman are head of the children, they came out of woman. But they also came out of the man who was created by Christ who was sent by God. Headship means source. :angel: Post Reply
View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 22 Jun, 2010 08:29 AM Shep, Headship of Adam is referring to Adam being head of the human race, the father of the human race, and the father of sin, the sin bearing of the human race. Meaning every person who lives or comes into the world came from the seed of Adam because Adam was the first man created and the first person to sin in disobedience to God on earth. Which means that Adam's sin brought us into sin and made us a sinful people. As it is written in Romans chapter 5 Therefore, just as through one man(Adam), sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, ALL sinned becasue of Adam, we are born with his sin nature.. For until the law came sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law (meaning we are not charged with sin if a person doesn't know God's law)... Nevettheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him (Christ) who was to come. Meaning that, all people born on earth, because of Adam's sin, we are born in sin by nature, Adam being the father of sin, the headship of the human race, we have a sinful nature, which makes us a sinful race. Just as when we are born again in Christ, we are born spiritually of Christ's righteous nature. Adam sin resulted in a sinful race, Christi's righteousness results in a spiritual race. Our sins traces us back to Adam, he is the reason that we have a sinful nature. When we are born again our spuritual nature can be traced back to receiving Christ in our lives and we are declared righteous before God. We become a new creations in Christ because of the free gift of grace of God through Jesus Christ. The imputation of sin occured when the sin of Adam was charged to every person born, which means that because we are born of Adam we take on his sin nature. When we are born spiritually of Christ we are SUPPOSE to take on Chrit's spiritual nature and go and sin no more. Post Reply
DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Headship of Adam Posted : 23 Jun, 2010 02:25 PM The effects of Adams sin were passed to us(his fallen nature separated from God), but not the responsibility. Not directly anyway. No one is sinless, so I guess you could say that whenever a human being sins for the first time, we perpetuate the first sin all over again, but if you're trying to say that I'm responsible for picking the fruit off the tree, then no. I do not believe in original sin. :peace::peace: Post Reply
