Adamic Judgment
The 1st Judgment that came upon man was Adamic Judgment, Romans 5:16.
16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment (krima) was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Adam’s sin of disobedience brought this judgment upon all of mankind. We need to understand Adamic Judgment and the extent of this judgment. Not in the way man declares it, we need to see it as God declares it.
God told Adam in Genesis 2:16-17:
16And Yehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
This was Adam’s simple test; however, we all know that Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This resulted in Genesis 3:17-19:
17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
This is important. Nowhere does God tell Adam that he is going to the Lake of Fire. There is a Lake of Fire Judgment that will be discussed later. However, Adamic Judgment is not Lake of Fire Judgment
