Jehovah's Witness and Christians does Adam benefit from the ransom sacrifice?

"Jehovah's Witness and Christians does Adam benefit from the ransom sacrifice?"

No. Adam, a perfect human, made the choice to sin against the face of God.

I don't see why not.

God gave them the promise that through them would come the perfect cure for their mistake and Jesus' death covers sin once for all, He covered over their sin with the first sacrifice, gave them Seth after Abel died, mercifully let them die and removed them from the garden so they couldn't access the tree of life, thus having to live so long suffering in sin. We know their children were taught about God. I completely believe Adam and Eve were the reason for that, understood their mistake and sought forgiveness.

JWs have no right to say they don't deserve to be saved. But then again, they say we don't deserve it either because we have no reason to listen to, or have any use for, their particular brand of "truth".

Really...if not Adam and Eve, it would've been someone else. We're all given free will and all of us would choose to be punks. I doubt a single person can honestly say they wouldn't have been tempted and eaten the fruit themselves. Why be so quick to condemn Adam and Eve when chances are, we would've done the same thing?

Adam and Eve were the only two human beings who knew about God before they became tainted with sin. After they sinned, they felt shame, because they knew they had done wrong. That is why they tried to hide from God.

They likely still knew God better after their fall than any of us do today. Adam and Eve most definitely believed in and depended on God. God continued to talk with Adam and Eve and provide for them after the fall. Adam and Eve knew of God’s promise that He would provide a Savior (Genesis 3:15). God made garments of skin for Adam and Eve after the fall (Genesis 3:21). Many scholars understand this as the first animal sacrifice, foreshadowing the eventual death of Christ on the cross for the sins of the world.

It would be entirely wrong for anybody to pass judgment on Adam and Eve - other than God himself. Knowing as we do that God's judgments are holy and righteous and just, I personally do not think we need to concern ourselves. By and by we shall find out. Meanwhile, we do better to ask ourselves whether we benefit from the ransom sacrifice of Jesus - are we in the new covenant and is Christ Jesus our mediator? If not, then we should be REALLY worried

The ransom became necessary because of the sin of Adam, the wage that sin pays is death. God could not give into sentiment and simply change the death sentence, to do so would be to ignore His own law .When Satan got Adam and Eve to disobey Gods law he in effect accused God of being a liar, stating they did not need God's rule they could be like God. Adam and Eve were perfect, God gave them everything they needed, yet they allowed the devil to turn them away from God. There would be no need of a ransom if they had remained obedient to God.

Neither Adam nor Eve felt remorse for what they had done. They had been told beforehand that they would die (and, they knew that death meant cessation of life, as they had seen animals die before) if they disobeyed, but they chose to do so anyway. It meant not only their own deaths, but the deaths of all of their offspring. . . . There is no excuse for that.

Scripture makes no mention of them trying to repent & change. They had chosen the course they wanted to take, and had no desire to change it. There is no mention of either of them being laid to rest in the memorial tombs, which indicate that a dead person is kept in God's memory for future resurrection.

“If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment and there is a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition.” (Hebrews 10:26-27)

"The FUTURE of wicked people will be CUT OFF" (Psalm 37:38b)

Absolutely not.

Someone may ask, Could God not have simply overlooked Adam and Eve’s sin?

No, because that would have further undermined respect for his authority, perhaps encouraging future rebellions and resulting in even greater suffering. Ecclesiastes 8:11

In addition, condoning such disobedience would have made God a party to wrongdoing.

The Bible writer Moses reminds us: God’s works are perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.

To be true to himself, God had to allow Adam and Eve to suffer the consequences of their disobedience.

Among the sins that Jehovah undoubtedly did not forgive were those of Adam and Eve.

As a test of their appreciation God gave them a simple command; they were not to eat of the fruit of a certain tree; and he warned them of the consequences if they did eat of it.

They were created perfect in mind and in body. They willfully and deliberately disobeyed.

They could neither plead ignorance, nor claim inherited imperfection and the tendency to sin, as King David was able to do.

So what basis was there for forgiving Adam and Eve’s sins? Absolutely none!

It seems indicated that neither Adam nor Eve shall benefit; however, I would not mind if they did receive forgiveness. While their sin caused all that came after, I wouldn't say their sin on its own was worse than what many of us have committed. It is up to Jesus to judge all.

We are christians!

No he most certainly does not benefit and why the heck should he? If it were not for him and Eve, we would not be in the state we are: Romans 5:12.

In fact, Jehovah said to him: what have you done? In other words, it was that serious and thus, there is no recompense for either of them and good riddence to them both!

Ge 3:17,19

And to Adam* he said:...19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread* until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken.+ For dust you are and to dust you will return.

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.”*+ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." - 1 Cor 15:45.

Scripture intimates that God forgave Adam and Eve by clothing their nakedness (i.e. covering their sin), but he did punish them harshly.

Of course scripture nowhere though directly addresses the issue. We can always know though that God always does the right thing.
