"exemption" through genetic advantage would<br />
raise the cry "unfair" and create an unsuppressible<br />
conviction that sin is justified in all the fallen sons<br />
and daughters of Adam. This would automatically<br />
negate Christ's sacrifice and reduce it to the level of<br />
Roman Catholicism, and in the end completely<br />
satisfy Satan. It would be the "broken link" in<br />
God's great chain let down to save the world.<br />

sinful human nature after 4000 years and<br />
"bypass the universal infection of sin" that has<br />
polluted everybody else (cf. Dr. Roy Adams, <strong>The</strong><br />
Nature of Christ, p. 38)?<br />
"<strong>The</strong>y shall call His name Immanuel, which is<br />
translated, 'God with us'" (Matthew 1:23). God is<br />
agape. And whenever agape comes in conflict with<br />
sin, a cross is erected. <strong>The</strong> cross is the answer to<br />
this question. Yes, by His identity as agape in<br />
human flesh and His sanctified human will, He<br />
"bypassed this universal infection of sin." He chose<br />
not to be infected.<br />
