Subject: When did Adam become a sinner? |
Bible Note: What you mention always thrills me with interest. I believe the scripturual truth tells a wonderful story that many do not comprehend the basis of human structure or how God made us. I will try to make this brief but it could last for pages. You research and decide for yourself if what I say is true of the scriptures. I am going much further with this as it will cover points of some other posts and I have not time to go to each and everyone. So excuse me in that. God created us for his pleasure with a body, soul and spirit. Plants have bodies Animals have body and soul Humans have body, soul and spirit. 1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Body is this flesh that hurts Soul is emotions, mind, will,etc Spirit is the spirit of God. Adam was created in body, soul and spirit. But when he committed sin by choosing to go against God. The spirit of God left leaving a dead spirit in that temple. Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. I believe God was talking trinity or triune here in referring to death or dying. body--ultimate soul--progressively Spiritually--immediately dead At that very moment God left Adam. God does not like a filthy or sinful temple. God first Designs, We Descrate, God leaves-Desolation and then God Destroys. Also, that is why we are dead in sins. Because man's spirit is dead without a living God. I will get back to that. We see this truth in Jesus. Jesus came as Adam original. No sin. When Jesus went to the cross, God layed the sins of the World on Him. At that moment, God moved out of the human temple and Jesus said, "Abba Father why hast thou forsaken me." So man is left with a body soul and a dead spirit unto sin from Adam. Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. One must understand that when the Spirit is not working the Soul is glad to take control. That is why James speaks that we are taken away into sin by our own lust. James 1:14 But every man is tempted when he drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. The soul at work. Desire, I will, equals sin. Sin is not of God's tempting but of ourselves. That at salvation Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Salvation comes in a triune also. Justification at acceptance of Christ salvation Sanctification living unto God the Holy Spirit Glorification when we see Him we will be like Him Eph 1:13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Now we have the Spirit of God at justification who can do a good work in us unto salvation of sanctification and sealed to glorification, when we will be like Jesus. This is what Paul speaks about carnal christians and the fight of the will/soul is on. Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do This is the soul and Holy Spirit at battle for control. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. The soul wants control and is the carnal/flesh mind here, but the Holy Spirit/God wants us to yield to Him. Paul also expresses that the Spirit knows things of God. 1Cr 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. This is the Holy spirit working in us and dividing between the soul(thoughts, intents of heart) and spirit Hbr 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Now the carnal/flesh or natural man that is letting the soul control his life. With the Holy Spirit standing aside. 1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. And the spirit is not in control or operational mode but the soul is. And God wants us to live unto the Spirit of God. Gal 5:16 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. I have now rambled on way to long. Excuse me and the Lord Bless you in your walk with the Holy Spirit. charley |
