Subject: Did God Create Man Mortal? |
Bible Note: Hello JV, I would agree with this to mean death of the whole man, body and soul, but some members of the forum would still only see this as appliying only to spiritual death. ............ In addition, as I have stated before, I disagree with this notion that Adam knew the meaning of death only by experience. Adam was created with language, and therefore understood the command of God and His threatened consequece for disobedience --apart from experience -- (Gen. 2:16,17). Was there sufficent time between creation and the command for Adam to experience the death of plant or animal? |
