Hello Royfish, CDBJ has an interesting idea. I had never heard it put that way before. The way I have understood it is that the day he ate the fruit he actually began the dying process. Up until that point, Adam's body must not have worn down at all, but then his body began to decay and deteriorate which ultimately lead to his death. The same is true of us. Each day more and more of our body and mind dies. Our joints and organs wear out, our minds begin to become less sharp, etc. We basically spend our lives dying until we ultimately die. It is just my interpretation, but I hope it helps. Nick |
