1 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | FlintyJoe | 207518 | ||
Adam had to know what death was in order for God's warning at Gen 2:17 to be in harmony with perfect justice. A loving father would not tell a son he will flog him if he disobeys if the child does not know a flog from a frog. Second, while I'm sure Mr. Henry was a devout Bible student, if his supposition is based on Jesus being "the Lamb from the foundation (or creation, NIV) of the world," he has misread Rev 13:8. It is "those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book" that are from the foundation . . . (See Rev 17:8 for support.) You sound sympathetic to Adam, but if he's in heaven, then the rest of us can stop worrying. Talk about a serial killer - through this man death spread to all men, thus we all die! Adam is dead, he did not get the free gift of everlasting life. Satan lied and the God of truth, who cannot lie, carrying out his sentence after the "foundation of the world" - Adam and Eve produced human seeds. |

2 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | azurelaw | 207574 | ||
Dear Joe, Gen 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." The above verse to me is a warning of the consequence of their disobedience. Not a punishment as you have exhibited in your example. God's punishment for their disobedience is in Gen 3:14-19. What God required of Adam and Eve is obedience. A toddler might not know what heat is and how a pot of boiling water might hurt him, but he is warned and demanded of to be obedient to his mother not to touch the pot. Please provide scriptural support as to your statement that Adam did not get the free gift of everlasting life. Shalom Azure |
