Bible Note: Greetings Robert, I would concur with you on that. I think in order to explain death, as the Bible speaks of it, it helps to look at it from the standpoint of what Adam experienced. When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, the way I see it, he died spiritually that very day and as a result of that spiritual death he set the wheels in motion for his physical death. Dear old grandfather Adam wasn’t able to procreate his species the same way that he was created, i.e. with a body, soul, and spirit. Thus the part of us that has association with God, our spirit, is inoperative at the point of birth. 1 Cor. 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. We are born physically alive and spiritually dead; thus the need to be born again of the Spirit of God. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. The word see, IEDO in the Greek, is not visual inspection but a mental perception. He in essence brings our spirit to life and reveals to us that we are his, with a new nature. Ephes. 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: My two cents worth, have a nice day, CDBJ |
