Bill Mc, Do unbelievers have a spirit? There had good points, including about the Tree of Life. When God said that Adam would die (Gen 2:17), He did not say when, nor what part. We know that he died physically (Gen 5:5). So that could of been what God was saying. I could buy that his spirit died, except it is what drives the soul ... as has been discussed. I also think that he would of never come out of hiding if he did not have a spirit. It may of been no longer pure ... or maybe it was his soul that was impure. I think all men have souls and spirits.

Steve, God did indeed say when - 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." Satan echoed this - Gen 3:5 - "For God knows that IN THE DAY you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Granted, God did not say what part. But if you re-read my post, I stated that we can come to some understanding concerning what did not die. To say that it was only physical death does not line up with the rest of scripture that says that, because of Adam's disobedience, we are born dead in trespasses and sins. CDBJ has a good explanation in this thread about what 'dead' means here. I, too, think that every man has a soul and spirit. In Christ, Bill Mc |

Bill Mc, I was looking at the NIV, which does not have the time. I looked at others; most have "in the day". Steve | ||||||

I understand. I use the NIV quite often. It is an excellent dynamic equivalent translation. But it does, occasionally, have a few problems. This is where some other formal equivalent translations shine. Blessings to you, Bill Mc. | ||||||
