Subject: Result of sin physical or spiritual? |
Bible Note: "Plus, if the Tree of Life was to grant eternal life, that means Adam and Eve would of been condemned forever ... judged at that point. " ............... Hi, Steve, ........................ Thanks for continuing this dialog on the issue of sin and death. I enjoy it, and think it important. Sorry if I misunderstood you on the Tree of Life and condemnation. I got it from your qoute above. ............. I'll deal with one point only because I have to leave for work shortly. Heb 9:27: Only if you apply your assumption about physical death can this verse be understood your way. However this verse applies to man AFTER the Fall only, because "through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" Rom 5:12 If Adam had not sinned death would not be part of man's experience. "For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive." 1 Cor 15:22 I also think that your notion of God's curse of death being only spiritural makes the physical death of Christ unecessary. But it was necessary because the curse of death was on the whole man, body and soul. ................. Thanks again for your interest in this subject. |
