Familiarity with the original languages removes a layer of possible misunderstanding; nobody claims it makes us "automatically understand the scripture". When you said "Im afraid your Greek or Hebrew mislead you ", you're saying that it's actually a hindrance, which of course I dispute. Study of these languages does not lead anyone astray, as you claimed.No I am one who finds that the translation of the KJV is the most accurate into English and that a lot of people think that learning Hebrew or Greek automatically means you understand the scripture and those who don't cant .
He that receiveth me said Jesus receiveth Him that sent me .
He that does not also does not .
What then did Adam receive ? and whos words was accepted? By the doing of it ?
In Christ

I do not consider the KJV the most accurate translation. But a lot of people who do, seem to think it makes them "automatically understand the scripture", so that charge goes both ways.
Adam, while awake, received the fruit offered by Eve, in spite of the fact that he had listened to her voice as she was tempted. Both of them ate. Both of them sinned. But only Adam blamed God. That's what the passage tells us.
And none of this pertains to the topic of predestination. Several references were already given showing that children do not inherit the sins of their fathers. And as I also said, there is no point in discussing this if you believe in predestination to salvation.
