Angahala ‘a e tokotaha, afuhia kotoa

All were affected by the sin of one

Fehu‘i #14

Na‘e fakatupu kitautolu ‘e he ‘Otuá  ke tau ta‘emalava ‘a hono tauhi ‘ene lao? 

( Did God create us unable to keep his law? )

‘Ikai, ka koe‘uhí  ko e talangata‘a ‘a e ‘uluaki matu‘a, ‘Atama mo ‘Ivi, na‘e tō kotoa ‘a e fakatupu; ‘oku fanau‘i kotoa mai kitautolu ‘i he angahala mo e halaia, pea hinga mo hotau natulá ‘o ta‘emalava ai ke tau tauhi ‘a e lao ‘a e ‘Otua. 

( No, but because of the disobedience of our first parents, Adam and

Eve, all of creation is fallen; we are all born in sin and guilt, corrupt in our nature and unable to keep God's law )

Loma 5:12

Ko ia, ko e hoko ‘a e fakamo‘ui na‘e tatau mo e hoko ‘a e angahala ki māmani, ‘i he tangata pē taha; mo e hoko ‘a e mate ‘i he angahala; mo ‘ene a‘usia pehē ‘a e kakai kotoa pē ‘e he mate, koe‘uhi ne angahala kotoa pē.

ROMANS 5:12

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and

death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.

Tohi vete ‘a ‘Epalahame Pua (hoko atu…)

Ka ‘i he taimi tatau, ‘oku ou tui, na‘e ‘ikai fuoloa ‘a e tauhi ‘e he tangata ‘a e tu‘unga haohaoa mo fiefia ko eni; ka ‘i hono tukuange ia ke tau‘ataina ‘ene fili, na‘a ne maumau‘i ‘a e lao ‘a hono ‘Otua mo e Tu‘i.  Ko hono nunu‘a, na‘e to ‘a e tangata ki ha tu‘unga halaia, angahala mo e ‘auha.  Pea koe‘uhi ko e ‘ulu fakanatula ia mo e ‘ulu fakafonua ‘o e fa‘ahinga ‘o e tangata, na‘e afuhia kotoa ‘a hono hako a‘e muimui mai ‘i he angahala ‘a‘ana.  Ko ‘ene angahala na‘e to ia ke tuku fakaholo ‘o e to‘utangata ‘o mamani kotoa.  Kuo hoko leva ‘a e fa‘ahinga ‘o e tangata, ‘i honau natula angahala, ko e fanau ‘o e tautea; ‘oku nau ongongofua ki he kovi ka nau situ‘a mei he lelei; mate ‘i he angahala, pea nofo mala‘ia   ‘i he malumalu ‘o e lao haohaoa ‘a e ‘Otua.  ‘Oku ‘ikai ha ‘amanaki ki he he mo e fakapo‘uli ko eni, ka ko ha veteange ‘e fai ‘e Sisu Kalaisi ko e ‘Atama hono ua.

Commentary - ABRAHAM BOOTH (cont…)

On the same warrant, I believe, that man did not long continue in these holy and happy circumstances; but, being left to the freedom of his own will, he transgressed the law which his Maker and Sovereign had given him; in consequence of which he fell into a state of guilt, depravity, and ruin. And as he was not only the natural but federal head and representative of his unborn posterity, he sinning, all his offspring sinned in him and fell with him, the guilt of his first sin being imputed, and a corrupt nature derived, to all who descend from him by natural generation. Hence it is that all men are by nature the children of wrath; averse to all that is spiritually good, and prone to evil; dead in sin, under the curse of the righteous law and obnoxious to eternal vengeance. From which state of  complicated misery there is no deliverance but by Jesus Christ, the second Adam.
