One agrees with us that we are dying in the condemnation that came upon Adam. However, the argument is presented that condemnation came upon Adam, just as it would have come upon Jesus, had he sinned.
The argument is vaguely presented, but evidently it is saying that Adam would not be raised because if Jesus had sinned, he would not have been raised. This fails to appreciate that Jesus would not have come under the same condemnation as Adam if he had sinned. Jesus was never under the Adamic condemnation, nor was he ever liable to coming under that condemnation if he sinned; his body was specially prepared by God himself. (Hebrews 10:5) He was therefore never under the condemnation through Adam, nor could he have come under than condemnation. For him to have come under that condemnation, he would have had to been born under that condemnation as the rest of mankind, and had that happened, he would have been born a sinner just as the rest of mankind, and could not offer a ransom for anyone. (Psalm 47:9; Ecclesiastes 7:13) The only way that he could have been under that condemnation was to have been born of Adamic stock. However, since his body was especially prepared by God (Hebrews 10:5), for the purpose of sacrifice (Hebrews 2:9; 10:10), he had the full crown of glory. In him was life. He was not born in sin (Psalm 51:5), thus was not born short of the glory of God, as the rest of mankind. (Romans 3:23) He was not made crooked (unjust, not straight) through Adam's sin. (Ecclesiastes 1:15; 7:13) He suffered in likeness of sinful flesh, but his flesh was not sinful; had his flesh been sinful, he could not have condemned sin in the flesh, and paid the price for the sin of the world that is in the world through Adam. (John 1:29; Romans 8:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 9:26) Had Jesus sinned, he would not have been condemned in Adam, he would not have the Adamic condemnationl, but rather he would have died the second death, the death for which there is no ransom sacrifice offered. -- Hebrews 10:26.
