AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:45 So it is written [in Scripture], "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL (an individual);" the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving spirit [restoring the dead to life]. [Gen 2:7] |
Subject: the last Adam |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Makarios, Looking at this thread I'd like to step in here if I may. I agree that Adam was not perfect or he would not have succumbed to temptation. But I believe many theologians would agree that Adam -and not only Adam- indeed all life was created to live forever (Romans 5:12; 8:22) Christ as the 'Redeemer' would give this life back through His perfect sacrifice and all of creation receives the benefit of His perfect gift. Also considering satan and his minions possessing immortality, perfection and immortality are not therefore necessarily synonymous. My two cents :-) John |
