Imputed Sin vs Inherited Sin

[Odë:hgöd]

.
● Gen 2:25 . . And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

● Gen 3:6-7 . . When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

We can easily tell from those two passages how it was that Adam's sense of decency underwent its change; Eve's too. But the million-dollar question is: what was the source of that change? Was it God? Was it the chemistry of the fruit? Or was it the elephant in the middle of the room?

Why is it we never suspect the Serpent when he is so obviously the villain in this entire incident? The Serpent-- a.k.a. the Devil and Satan (Rev 12:9, Rev 20:2) -- has the power of death (Heb 2:14) and is able to tamper with the human mind and body in ways not easily detected. (e.g. Luke 13:16, Mark 5:1-5, & Eph 2:2-3)

What is actually being discussed is the glory brought to God in the perfection of his plan of
redemption being plaid out, beginning with one man and one woman. The federal headship of
Adam that paves the way for the federal headship of Christ.

Well; it appears to me that the actual subject of this topic is stated in its title and implied in the text of its very first post, to wit: "Imputed Sin vs Inherited Sin"

The title is like the headline of a newspaper. Or the title of a book. The direction the title intended to take is stated in the body of the OP. Find the subject. It definitely does not pertain to the speculation of where Eve got her fallen nature. And what is stated in the OP is the difference between imputed sin and inherited sin of Adam, and that both concepts exist in the Bible. And that the imputation is according to the principle of federal headship. And then a question was asked. And it seems that someone would have remembered, and compared it to the imputation of both the sin of Adam in defiling the entire human race, and our own personal sins as sinners, to Christ, and what the Bible tells us happened with Jesus on the cross. For it is there we see the curse Adam and the creation and all mankind incurred in Gen 3, reversed. Through federal headship.
