Christian theology teaches that the guilt of Adam passed on to all future generations - is this fair? That is, suppose you grant the premise that God says all men are sinners from birth forward - is it a valid question to charge God with the "sin" of lack of fairness? What does the Scripture say? The Apostle wrote: "Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:18-19). If it is "unfair" that we inherited Adam's guilt, then should we presume that you think it is also unfair that Christ died for a people in their place (ie, substitutionary atonement)? Think about it.
