[The Harp of God by J. F. Rutherford]@TWC D-Link bookThe Harp of God CHAPTER VI 15/55
Between the time of Adam's sentence and the time of his death he begat many children that were born into the earth.
These being born imperfect had no right to life; hence the living of the children was only by permission of Jehovah, and every one who died, died because of imperfection resulting from the sin of father Adam. [197]The Scriptures clearly show that God planned long in advance for the redemption and deliverance of the human race.
Hence his wisdom led him to embrace in the effects of this death sentence all of the human family, all of the offspring of Adam, so that in due time he might redeem them all through the sacrifice of one.
(Galatians 3:22) The sentence against Adam and the resulting effects upon all of his offspring must stand.
An earthly court may reverse its judgment because imperfect, but God cannot reverse his, because it is perfect; and he cannot deny himself.
