1 | Did Adam die lost? | Genesis | kalos | 7202 | ||
Ezekiel: Steve Butler is absolutely correct: "We do not know." Because the Bible is silent on the subject, we cannot know with any certainty whether Adam went to hell along with non-elect babies or whether he went to heaven along with God's grandchildren, the elect babies of elect parents. I elect not to speculate where the Bible is silent on a question. | ||||||
2 | Did Adam die lost? | Genesis | khuck | 102326 | ||
Ok... I am going to add on here. Jesus died for the sins of the world. Even back to the beginning... The sin that Adam committed against God was rebellion or disobedience if you will. Surely he was saved. Ask yourself this "Are you saved? Have you ever been rebellious or disobedient to the will of God? God actually told Adam this is what would become of him for his misdeed Genesis 3 7 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." Never once did God say that Adam was condemned to hell. He lost the right to be in the garden, and he lost the ability to eat from the tree of life, but God never deemed him lost. Study carefully Joshua chapter 3... the 16th verse is very interesting once you have referenced this chapter and understand the meaning of crossing the Jordan. Just my thoughts of the subject _Khuck |

3 | Did Adam die lost? | Genesis | Hank | 102335 | ||
Khuck - Thank you for your post and welcome. About this man Adam, arguably the most famous person in all history, we know precious little detail. Beyond the skeletal facts that he was the first man, that he had a wife named Eve, that he named the animals, disobeyed God, was banished from the Garden and sired sons and daughters, we know only that he lived 930 years, according to Genesis 5:5, and then he died. Of his eternal destiny we know nothing. Scripture is silent on that. --Hank | ||||||

Thank you for the welcome Hank :) The Word is clear that sin was not taken into account before the Law. Certainly Adam is not lost. Romans 5 v.12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-- v.13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. v.14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. v.15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Remember my reference to the river Jordan that was overflowing, as Joshua and the Hebrews were to cross over. When the priest who were carrying the Ark (Which represents Christ) put their feet into the water... the river backed up to "Adam" the town. I like that verse. That river signified death... The Ark on the other hand signified life and salvation... even into the Adam. This is firmly my belief. -khuck |
