"Were There Any Other People Created Without Sin?"
Were
there any other humans created without original sin?
Adam
and Eve were the only people that God directly created.
All other people have been born of those two.
God created all things very good, and in the image of
God, so they were created without sin. Genesis
1:26-31 says, And
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all
the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own
image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have
given you every herb bearing seed, which is
upon
the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is
the
fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every
thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there
is life,
I
have given every
green herb for meat: and it was so. And God
saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it
was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Adam
and Eve then disobeyed and sinned. Genesis
3:1-6 says, Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden? And the woman said
unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is
in
the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil. And when the
woman saw that the tree was
good
for food, and that it was
pleasant
to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one
wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat.
The
Bible says their action of disobedience caused sin to enter the world. Romans 5:12 says, 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. So there have been no
other humans either created or born without sin. Psalm
51:5 says, Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive
me. That is why all people must be
born again, because they are spiritually dead. John 3:1-7 says, There was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The
same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher
come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born
when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of
the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That
which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born
again.
