Explore the consensus view of Romans 5:12 . If man is guilty at the moment of conception there are two problems. Jesus is very clearly in his genealogy linked back to Adam and is fully man. In Romans 1:3 we read,“. . . concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh ..." If Romans 5:12 means that the result of Adam's sin is that all men are mortal, then Jesus can be a direct descendent of Adam. The Catholics solved the problem by viewing Mary to be sinless. Another problem is what about the fate of the unborn? There are two options to how everyone gets guilty. One option is Seminole Headship." In Adam" is a natural, biological impossibility but is common language for the ancient world. The other view is the Federal Headship View where Adam becomes our moral representative so when Adam sins, God transfers the guilt of Adam to every human being. Consider a summary of Tyler A. Stewart’s paper, “Fallen Angels, Bastard Spirits, and the Birth of God's Son: An Enochic Etiology (=Origin) of Evil in Galatians 3:19-4:11 . Stewart frames the issue: Paul subordinates the Law to Christ; the Law was provisional in God's plan; for Paul, believers who return to the Law are in danger of rejecting Christ (Gal 5:2-4; 2:21 ). Stewart holds that it is this "negative" view of the Law that is important and subordinating the Law to anything in God's plan seemed shocking... or would it? Consider Stewart’s thesis. Consider Galatians 3:19 . Stewart argues in his paper that the transgressions are not of the Israelites, but of the Watchers. Because of the proliferation of evil, the Law was added to restrain evil. Stewart states, Enoch walked with God and so was thought better. He was a source of heavenly wisdom. The Law “was added because of the transgressions . . . having been commanded through angels by hand of a mediator.” Consider Galatians 3:19 . Christ provides the ultimate solution to the proliferation of evil. Christ not only fulfills the Law but does certain things that align with the Enoch story that reverse the curses brought on humanity by the Watchers in that story. Consider Amy Richter’s "The Enochic Watchers' Template and the Gospel of Matthew." Why are there four women in Jesus' genealogy and who are they? There are certain things about Jesus' birth, his life, and even his genealogy that are symbolically aimed at dissing the sinning Watchers in the Enoch story and reversing the effects of what they did. The sexual sins associated to the women are rectified by the coming Messiah. The Messiah will undo the effects of the proliferation of evil which all Jewish theology lay at the feet of the Watchers. Consider Astral Theology or Astral Prophetic Genre. Explore Romans 10:9-18. Paul's proof text is Psalm 19:1-4. In the Masoretic Text, the line is the imaginary ecliptic which marks the path of the Zodiac constellations through the night sky. Paul does not do modern astrology. The Israelites thought they could get a clue to what God was up to and how he would act by watching the stars. The early church and Judaism had a negative view of pagan astrology. The problem was that God did not receive credit and that only God can dictate individual destinies.
