AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:22 ¶ And the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), knowing [how to distinguish between] good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take from the tree of life as well, and eat [its fruit], and live [in this fallen, sinful condition] forever"-- |
Subject: Result of sin physical or spiritual? |
Bible Note: Lionstrong, you say "First, it assumes man would have died bodily if he had not sinned." I say that because we are all going to die (Heb 9:27) and there was nothing said that Adam and Eve would of lived forever - unless they ate of the Tree of Life. Then you said, "Second, it assumes that man gains knowledge by experience, rather than it being God. " I did not manke that assumption. However, the knowledge gain was not by experience - but, by eating of the tree. Next you said, "Third, which is the point at hand, it assumes that death does not apply to the whole man, body and soul." I was not looking at the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They did not die phyiscally at the moment, so that tree was about spiritual life and the Tree of Life was for phyiscal. You said, "So man understood the words God spoke to him." However, do you understand all the words in the English language? Until you saw what ti die meant, you did not have a clue. There are somethings that you need an illustration to understand. I never said the Tree of Life condemned. Steve |
