But I
could not accept that God would condemn one person for the actions of another. It
didn't make sense.

You are applying the human understanding of sense to the actions and beliefs of God. That's where, IMO, you go wrong.

It's like trying to persuade a toddler that it makes sense for him not to have that candy bar fifteen minutes before dinner. If you haven't had kids, trust me, there is NO way to make that make sense to a two year old. But it makes perfect sense to the parent. Similarly, vaccinating a young child -- it makes no sense to sit still and have that doctor poke that painful needle in you over and over. To us the pain makes perfect sense. But not to the child! (Modern parents don't see this as such a great example, but it was a telling example forty years ago when those suckers HURT, and most vaccinations were short term and they had lots of single disease vaccinations, not these multiple ones they have now, one quick prick and that's it.)
