Bible Question: Without eating, would Adam die? |
Bible Answer: Adam was possessed with certain physical drives: the drive to eat and drink, the drive to have sexual relations, and to acheive. Without any of these drive, man would cease to exist. He was an immortal soul inside of a mortal body. He got hungry and, without food, would be malnourished. He got thirsty and, without water, would die of poisons. He had sexual urges, without which, the earth would not be populated. Without the drive to acheive, he would not contribute to his and others' welfare. What do you think? |
