That's the point I was trying to get at. Are aging and looking older, and ultimately dying, the the curse of sin or the result of the Fall? Or, are they the natural result of life? If Christ was born without a sin nature, then would he have aged indefinatly and looked older?
If Christ did not have Adam's guilt imputed onto Him then He would not have been guilty, thus He would not have had the curse of sin, which is death. If this is the case did Christ
die because He was crucified and in that death He had all our sins placed on Him thus paying for them? Or did He die because our sins were imputed onto Him and at that time making Him guilty and able to die and in His death paying for our sins?
I am probably not making sense or trying to derive too much out of it.
