I am “not” comparing nuclear bombs to brain tumors.
I am using an analogy to “illustrate” spiritual Truth to help ArtificialGlory understand that children who have health issues (for instance, such as brain tumors), are “affected by” Adam’s sin, but they are “not” being punished for it.
You see, the “wrong choice” of “one man” (i.e. President Harry S. Truman) had “negative”, “adverse”, and “health-altering” effects on other people (including “children”)—but, that does “not” mean that the children are being punished.
“One man” (i.e. President Harry S. Truman) made a “wrong choice” to order atomic bombs to be dropped over Japanese cities.
That “wrong choice” affected “hundreds of thousands of people—including children”.
The wrong choice of “one man” was not the “fault” of children (i.e .they were “not” being punished).
However, even though children were “not” being punished for Truman’s “wrong choice”—they were “still” affected with “health issues” (i.e. cancer, burns, radiation sickness, Leukemia, and other injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition) because of his “wrong act”.
Similarly, “One man” (i.e. Adam) made a “wrong choice” to sin.
That “wrong choice” affected “all people—including children”.
The wrong choice of “one man” was not the “fault” of children (i.e .they were “not” being punished).
However, even though children were “not” being punished for Adam’s “wrong choice” (i.e. sin/disobedience)—they were “still” affected with “health issues” (i.e. brain tumors, cancer, disorders, etc.) because of his “wrong act” (i.e. sin/disobedience).
But the “good news” is (like I’ve told you before) that even though Adam “disobeyed” God, the Lord Jesus (Who is referred to as the “last Adam”—“obeyed” God. The Lord Jesus did what Adam failed to do. Jesus Christ obeyed God—thus causing “everyone” Who “believes” in Him to be “born again”, and free from the “curse” of the law.
Again, through faith in the “Word of God”, and the “Name” of Jesus we can overcome “many” (right now, and eventually “all” at a later date), of the effects of the curse that Adam let into the world through his sin/disobedience.
