What does it mean to you that “death spread to all because all have sinned” (Rom. 5:12)?

    The context indicates that paul is not speaking about actual sins we commit, but to the sin of Adam. The verb Paul uses is in the aorist indicative, which speaks of a completed past action. Something happened in the past, namely we all sinned in Adam. And God imputed this sin too all men. We are guilty for that sin just as Adam was. This imputed sin is not original sin we are born with. Original sin is the moral ruin, the sin nature we are born with and is distinct from imputed sin. Imputed sin has ruined our standing with God, and unless satisfaction is made, we will be eternally lost. We are all imputed with this transgression of Adam, not because we have original sin, but prior to that...
