1 | Did death come by Adam to the creation? | Rom 8:22 | EddyT | 106169 | ||
Adam's original sin brought SPIRITUAL death to mankind. PHYSICAL death existed previously. Consider God's words after Adam ate of the Tree of Knowledge: "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" (Gen 3:22 NASB). Since God was concerned that Adam could BECOME immortal by eating from the Tree of Life, it logically follows that Adam was not physically immortal to start with. |

Eddy, I can see how you might argue that spiritual death is what Paul referred to in 1 Cor 15.21, but does your argument fit the context of these verses? Taking v.20, would you include Jesus among those who died spiritually? Or could it be that Paul is not talking about spiritual death exclusively? Colin |
