We do not inherit sin through our blood, either. Jesus was made "in every way" like us (Heb 2:17) - and He was sinless. Rather, what we do inherit from Adam...

While we tend to think of Christ's first coming as 'ending' at His death and Resurrection, or perhaps final ascension, the end of that age didn't really end...
