However, in Romans 5:12 we read sin entered the world
through one man. (Romans 5:12 Wherefore
as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death
passed upon all men, in whom
all have sinned. )
Eve and Adam choice there will over the doctrine of God and being disobedience to God.
Psalms 20:14
Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
John 1:29
The next day, John saw
Jesus coming to him, and he saith:
Behold the Lamb of God,
behold him who taketh away the sin
of the world.
Why did God find someone to take away sin
and save us?
Isaiah 63:5
I
looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid:
and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.
- Jesus
is the arm of God
- Jesus
did not have a different will away from God
- Jesus
is not distinct from God
Psalm 49:6-9
Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
- No one can redeem
- The ransom for sin can
not be covered by a price even the price of any man soul.
- Two wrongs can not
create right.
Why Jesus did come to the
Mathew 26:36
Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.

To retrace of the
steps and wills of Adam
·
To do the wills of God and
undo the damage done (sin)
What does Gethsemani
mean?

Romans 5:12-15
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
For until the law sin was in the world; but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.
But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
But
not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many
died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace
of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
·
The 1st Adam did
his will and brought sin into the world but the 2nd Adam (Jesus
Christ) which is the arm of God retraced the steps of Adam and take away our
sin.
700 years before Christ Isaiah prophecies:
Isaiah 53:10
And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.

First process of restoration of sin
Mathew 26:37
And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
Luke 24:44
And
his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.
·
He grow sorrowful

His sweat became as drops
of blood
·
God cursed Eve to be sorrowful
and agony after eating the apple and passing to Adam.. Didn’t He?
Let us look at Genesis
3:16
To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.
·
Labor in pain
and agony
Isaiah 61:3
To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify hint.

·
He wore our curse in the form
of thorn
Mathew 27:29
And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.
·
Didn’t Adam cursed with thorns
and thistles
Genesis 3:18
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou eat the herbs of the earth.
·
Paul asked God to take away
the thorn that is from evil but Jesus said the grace of me is sufficient
· Devil
us the thorn as instrument of torment.
II Corinthians 12:7-9
And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.
For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Third process of restoration of sin
Matthew 27:48
And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
·
People think and say He had
a problem summiting His will to the father
·
Jesus suffered and thirsty
for you and me that we might not experience the thrust of hell.
·
Hell is a place of an imaginable
thrust
Luke 16:24
And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
How could the one that said to the
Samaritan women I give a of fountain of water, springing up into the life of
everlasting shall thrust?
John 4:14
But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.
John 7:37-39
And on the last, and great day of
the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying:
If any man thirst, let
him come to me, and drink.
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus is water of life

He was thrusting for us
Fourth process of restoration of sin

He experienced darkness so
we can leave in the light

700 years before Amos prophecies
about the sun getting dark

And
it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and
I will make the earth dark in the day
of light:
Mathew 27:45
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.

Jesus is the light of the
world

In
him was life, and the life was the light
of men.

What happened at the cross
was for you and me He tested darkness. Because in Hell there is darkness.

Lord from heaven.
Romans 5:15

The mischief at the garden of Eden was

Why do people say Jesus had two
different wills in Him one from the natural man in Him and the other to be from
Devine nature? Did Jesus prayers indicate two
distinct wills in him? Is that what the Bible says and teaches?
THE ANSWER IS NO.
Jesus never
said or admitted to have a separate or parallel will of the father
To start with
Jesus is Lord and the Lord is God (Look the article Who
art thou Jesus? And The
Power of God)
Second Jesus wills is one and the same as of the father
Let us look at the scripture
Luke 2:48-49
And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?
Mathew 26:39
And
going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father,
if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me.
Nevertheless not as I will, but as
thou wilt.

Again
the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must
drink it, thy will be
done.
John 5:19
Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.
John 5:30
I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Timothy 3:16
And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
· When the fullness of time came God manifested in flesh
1 Corinthians 1: 24
But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

· Jesus is the arm of the father
Mathew 1:23
Behold a virgin shall be with child,
and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with

Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
John
3:14-15
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
