1 | Did God Create Man Mortal? | Gen 1:26 | kalos | 10102 | ||
Man not created mortal. "...death was not originally built into human constitution. People were created for life, not for death." The Origin of Death. Unlike the ancient Mesopotamian concept, death was not originally built into human constitution. People were created for life, not for death. They had access to both the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They were told they would certainly die if they ate from the latter (Gen 2:17). Humankind was not tricked out of eternal life as in the Adapa myth, nor was it stolen from them as in the Gilgamesh epic. They partook of the forbidden tree with full awareness of the consequences. Apparently from close observation of the plant and animal kingdom they would have been able to know what death was. Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology . Edited by Walter A. Elwell, 1996, Baker Books. (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) |

2 | Did God Create Man Mortal? | Gen 1:26 | Searcher56 | 10151 | ||
JVH0212, Then what type of life did the Tree of Life provide? I am asking this again. -If spiritual, -- Did man have need of this tree, in the beiginning? -- Was he not created without sin - since he was not of the seed of man? -- Once man ate of the other tree, was he lost forever? I want you to answer these questions, then decide if the "experts" are missing something, or is it me? Steve |
