Subject: Death God's friend or enemy? |
Bible Note: Adam had to know what death was in order for God's warning at Gen 2:17 to be in harmony with perfect justice. A loving father would not tell a son he will flog him if he disobeys if the child does not know a flog from a frog. Second, while I'm sure Mr. Henry was a devout Bible student, if his supposition is based on Jesus being "the Lamb from the foundation (or creation, NIV) of the world," he has misread Rev 13:8. It is "those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book" that are from the foundation . . . (See Rev 17:8 for support.) You sound sympathetic to Adam, but if he's in heaven, then the rest of us can stop worrying. Talk about a serial killer - through this man death spread to all men, thus we all die! Adam is dead, he did not get the free gift of everlasting life. Satan lied and the God of truth, who cannot lie, carrying out his sentence after the "foundation of the world" - Adam and Eve produced human seeds. |
