1 | When is abortion right? | Ex 21:23 | Morant61 | 75015 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! I knew that I forgot something! :-) I think that I addressed the question of Adam's 'death' in a series of posts about 1,000 years being like a day. Basically, we know from Scripture that 'death' isn't primarily the 'lack of life', but 'seperation' from God. So, on the day that Adam sinned against God, he did die - i.e. - his sin seperated him from God. Of course, 'physical death' was also included. But, nothing in the passage mandated that Adam must physically die on the day that he ate, only that he would receive the penalty of death. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Then you don’t agree with the idea that when Jesus said you must be born again that he wasn’t referring to man’s spirit as that part of Adam that died in the garden? If that is the case then being able to see the Kingdom of God isn’t speaking of perception but actual visual contact. If what you are suggesting is true then why would Paul suggest that all this had to take place after their faith Christ. Col. 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Couldn’t this spiritual understanding have come before salvation if they had a living spirit? I have been always been lead to believe that the Dichotomist man couldn’t perceive the things of God because he didn’t have a living spirit. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man (psuchikos) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Isn’t the psuchi the soul part of man? Spiritually discerned, i.e. his receiver wasn’t in working order, he doesn’t understand the signals that are being conveyed. Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. I hope we can talk more on this, unless this is getting in to the old A. verses C. thing, in which case I will drop it. CDBJ |

Greetings CDBJ! No, I'll stay away from C and A! :-) Again, this is a very broad topic, but generally speaking, I don't see man's spirit as dying because of the fall. His whole nature was corrupted by sin. By the way, Jesus didn't say that we had to be 'born again'. He actually said that we had to be 'born from above'. I never did understand why His words were translated as 'born again'. Oh well! :-) I've got to run, but in summary, I believe that all 'depraved' men, if left to their own devices, would never understand the Gospel. This is why God had to draw all men to Him. But, the spiritual part of man is only corrupted by sin, not missing altogether! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
