Physical infirmity is attributable to _____ sin, not to ____ of sin.

• A. Original; Inherited
• B. Personal Acts; Adamic
• C. Adamic; Personal Acts
• D. Adamic; Original

Answer: (C)

Physical infirmity comes from the fall of man—the Adamic sin—rather than from the personal sins we commit. This view holds that mortality and bodily weakness are inherited consequences of Adam’s transgression, while sins we personally commit have their own moral and spiritual implications rather than causing infirmity. Therefore, the best phrasing is that infirmity is due to Adamic sin, not to personal acts of sin.
