The "work" of the Law and the Law itself are two different things.Did God write the Law on the hearts of the Gentiles here Rom 2 14-15
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another![]()
Then you would have to believe that the Law shows us we are sinners and if the Law (Thou shalt not) was at creation then it shows the man and woman were sinful by virtue of their creation which is true.Thats silly, of course the law existed at creation, or else how could there be the transgression ? Did not Adam transgress ? Rom 5
And let's not forget that adding to God's Word is the sin of lying ("Neither shall ye touch it" - Prov. 30:6) and that they were sinners before they ate of the tree thus destroying the teaching of a "Fall" when they ate from the tree. They were already fallen before the tree.
That "had not" sinned after the same sin of Adam. It doesn't mention any sin that was committed only that death reigned from Adam to Moses.14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Thats what sin is duh 1 Jn 3 4
The commands of God and the Law of God are the same thing. The commands of God are Law, and the Law(s) of God are His commands. The command "thou shalt not" shows these two sinners before they ate of the tree.Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
If there was no law in the beginning, it could not have been a transgression Rom 5
Again, the command "thou shalt not" proves they were sinners before they ate for such commands or written commands/Law are the same and the command/Law in the Garden showed them sinners before their act of sin.12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Rom 4 15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Now was Adam a Jew ? NO. Did he and his posterity in him transgress the Law ? Yes
Sin comes from sinners.
