Our gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for the book of Romans.

Thank You for the Holy Spirit who inspired the Apostle Paul to write it and to give it to us.

And even though it was written in another language, we thank You for the translations that make it so very clear for us.

And we pray this afternoon as we turn our minds and hearts toward You, that You will be our real Teacher and our Helper.

Alright, we left chapter 5 yesterday, and we got ready to start on the part about the second atom, or the last atom, as it's called.

So this is a very neat area, and it's an area sometimes that has been and can be misunderstood.

And you're following in your lesson, I should get my lesson opened up here so that I am not too far off.

Verse 12, therefore, just as 1 man's sin entered through 1 man, sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all have sinned." I talked a little bit yesterday about original sin because our Roman Catholic friends believe that we're all guilty for Adam's sin.

We believe though that sin did enter the world through how many people?

By the way, why does he not say it entered through 1 woman?

I want you to think about that a little bit.

I would say that if he would have been the only 1 that slipped, it would have affected her only.

But when Adam slid over her, it affected the whole world.

Is it fair to say that when Satan took Eve down, he had not yet conquered the world?

He'd conquered a piece of it, But he had not conquered the world at that point.

And the world doesn't come under the dominion of Satan until he takes down Adam.

And the reason for that is not because...

Let me hasten and put the disclaimers in here in case I get in trouble.

God loves His daughters just as much as He loves His sons.

So the only way that Satan could take dominion of the world is by taking down Adam.

I'm sorry ladies, in this particular incidence, you still with me?

Adam is not gonna be quite as easy to get as Eve.

Yes, you okay with, Some people won't agree with that, it's okay.

Okay, just follow my logic here just a little bit.

When you go to the first chapter of Job, who shows up to meet with the sons of God?

What is the question that God asked Satan?

Satan is ready for that because he knows his presence is going to be challenged by God Himself.

I don't run everything going on in this camp meeting, but you'll see me riding my little cart, you'll see me popping up here, and I'm popping up there, and I'm checking on this.

I've got Jim Mitchiff answering to me, I've got a lot of people doing lots of stuff, but I'm not doing all that stuff because that's not my job.

My job is to make sure that everybody else is that's all running well.

Yeah, I show up at the juniors, I show up at the crater roll, I show up at all the divisions, I show up at the conference office, and I don't ever give anybody necessarily a schedule that I'm coming, not that I'm trying to surprise anybody, but I'm just doing my job.

So if you ask me where I came from, I came from camp meeting.

If you ask me what I'm doing there, I came from camp meeting and I'm walking and riding my golf cart all over camp meeting.

The 1 that comes closest to that would be Jim Mitchiff, and the next 1 would be Craig Harris, because they have management responsibilities.

Most everybody else is focused on whatever they're focused on.

He says, oh, and this tells you that there was an ongoing argument between God and Satan, an ongoing argument.

That means that there's been consideration before, you understand.

Now right there, you got a problem because Satan claims the world as his, that we're supposed to be his servants, and now God's claiming in Satan's domain that he's got a servant, And then he delists, he's blameless, he's all those wonderful things.

So Satan took that legal, if you please, in a sense, or at least God let him claim it for a while, took that legally for a while in order that he can now represent us in heaven.

Now if you listen to Steve Bohr's sermons, 1 of his sermons noted, and I thought well done, that in Revelation chapter 12 when Satan was cast out, that was kind of like the second casting out, in a sense Jesus rested from Satan the dominion.

Now Listen to the temptation of the wilderness.

Satan says he's desperate and he says, I'll give you all of this if you'll just fall down and worship me.

What he was trying to do is give Jesus an easy way out and Jesus said, no, I'll not take the easy way out.
