How did it happen?

[micah7:9]

Borrowed this from Bro. Tutt and found it a truth to the point of truth.

My wonderment is HOW did the simplicity of this absolute truth get to what religions, theology, and denominations teach and minister from somewhere in time to now? Why would anyone want to muddy the words? I know some will say control and I fall in that catagory as well, but the simpleness of it is just blatant and in your face.

#302 - A snippet from Whatever Became of Melanie? (2005), pages 138-139, by
Allan Ernest Chevrier:

(Romans 5:18-21)
"Now what was the result of Adam's transgression? It was universal condemnation of all, without first consulting them or asking for their contribution. The result of Adam's disobedience was complete and universal in its scope and consequence, plunging each and every member of his race into sin and spiritual separation from God.
Now, just as Adam's sin had a direct, powerful, irresistible effect on the whole for evil, so the righteous act of Christ has a direct, powerful, irresistible effect on the whole for good. Just as one sin resulted in universal, real, actual condemnation, so the one act of righteousness performed by Christ, the second Adam, results in universal, real, actual justification, not just an opportunity to cast your lot in with Jesus, not just the offer of life, but the real, actual, powerful impartation of life! The real actual, powerful communication of righteousness! The plain language of the text allows for nothing less!"

How did it happen?
The love of money, power and control. They planted fear where Jesus planted love.
