Whatever the theological malady, Martin Luther prescribed the same remedy: the word of God. For Luther, the Word was central to the Christian life. As a lover, translator, and interpreter of Scripture, Luther believed the Bible was too important to be left to academics. God's word has always been and must always be for God's people.

The Christian churches do not believe God would hold blameless men accountable Adam's sin, therefore they do not believe Adam's trespass caused death to reign over anyone.
