Answer 1

Transgress is the symbol of “Adam,” who disobeyed and made all Mankind deserving punishment and making retribution. But, that symbol can be used as a key to the establishment of world peace as Adam’s sin cannot be considered as the sin of His posterity, especially as Adam is a thousand generations back of the man today. In other words, men might be forgiven.
