You do not even believe that the earth is cursed since the Fall.
Of course not. Man falls by sinning. Not grass and rocks and trees, where the deer and the antelope play.
ALso, the flesh is as grass and is still mortal because Christ has made all flesh mortal as grass.
Your OSAS sin nature birth is nothing but excuse for your to keep on sinning with the flesh, rather than repent and do His righteousness.
It seems like you have a mega issue with what is in the Word.
Your word is nothing to me.
I never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. The link between the creature and creation is unquestionable.
Only in the creatures needing to eat food and drink water and breathe air of the creation.
Otherwise, the creation doesn't care one bit about the creatures, because the creation has no spirit, mind, nor thought.
Nor does is do good nor evil, but just exists naturally.
When man fell then all creation experienced the consequences and fell with him.
Just another lying tradition of Christian religion, that has nothing to do with Scripture of God.
Genesis 3:17-19 confirms this, when God tells Adam, “Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee.”
If this were true of the ground itself being cursed, then there would never be anything on earth but thorns and thistles.
It is man that sows and waters, and it is God that gives the increase, whether to bless or curse the ground.
The ground is not cursed, but it is the product of toil that is cursed or blessed by God for man's sake.
To take the phrase “for your sake” from the Hebrew word ‛âbûr meaning “because of you” or “on your account,” s
No ground is cursed for the ground's sake, but for man's sake.
Your personalizing of the planet is pagan spiritism. There is no Gaia mother earth, nor Demeter of the harvest.
Nor will there ever be one, including the new earth.
The fate of man and creation are therefore carefully joined together.
True, without air and water living creatures die.
There is no such thing as fate of man. Man chooses to do good or evil.
Being born with the fate of sin nature is the cursed doctrine of hypocrites, that blame their natural bodies for sinning with them against God.
It is then that He will destroy this swiftly decaying arrangement and replace it with a new economy.
Economy schelonomy.
You really do think scholar-speak means something important.
We believe that both the wicked (in total) and the righteous (in total) are raised and judged at the second coming and that each receives their eternal destiny at that time. The ark door is finally closed. At His coming, Christ finally and eternally destroys the curse by removing every semblance of the bondage of corruption from creation. The fiery conflagration regenerates this earth and restores it to it pristine pre-fall state. It is cleansed of every impurity and renewed to a glorified state. This current earth will experience the same deliverance from the curse that the elect do upon His return. The earth will be changed in a similar way that our corrupt mortal bodies will. This corruptible earth will indeed put on incorruption.
Romans 8:16-23 declares, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption [Gr. phthartos or decay] into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.”
Both the creature and creation are waiting for “the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body” – or resurrection day. This is the day when both will be finally delivered from the aforementioned “bondage of corruption.”
Scripture makes it abundantly clear there will be an end to the current fallen state. There will be a day of complete deliverance.
At this juncture we must briefly enquire, what is this “bondage of corruption” spoken of in this passage that will one day be removed? It is the awful curse that came upon all mankind as a result of Adam’s fall in the Garden of Eden. This curse embodies every effect of the fall that afflicts man, including sin, death, and every form of decay.
It must also be noted, that the reference relating to those who desire deliverance from the present condition of “the bondage of corruption” is not restricted to the redeemed of God alone (those who “have the firstfruits of the Spirit”). The hope is more comprehensive. This passage tells us that the whole of creation is yearning for this monumental change. This only goes to show that all creation doesn’t simply experience the reality and awful cost of the fall, but that it yearns for relief from its corrosive clutches through its continuation.
When, then, will this perpetual groaning and travailing of all “creation” in pain, for the expressed reason of the continued existence of the awful “bondage of corruption” within “the creature,” actually be finally assuaged?
This approaching change occurs at the one final future coming of Christ – the day of redemption. It is only then that the “sons of God” are finally glorified, and therefore totally and eternally delivered from this continuing “bondage of corruption” into the “glorious liberty of the children of God.” Then, all redeemed creation will be transformed from corruption to incorruption. The time of the “redemption of our body” is the time that sees creation finally and eternally delivered from bondage. This is glorification. This is shown in the whole thrust and context of the introductory verses to this reference, where Paul was talking about man’s great deliverance. He is talking about the saints being “glorified” (v 17) at His return and describing it as “the glory which shall be revealed in us” (v 18).
This reading clearly locates the anticipated glorification feat to the day of redemption when Christ rescues His elect from this sin-cursed world. It is this concluding event that finally witnesses the entire elect of God of all time secure the last aspect of the redemptive process – the “redemption” of their bodies. It is this last day that sees the glorious “manifestation of the sons of God” (v 19) or “the glorious liberty of the children of God” (v 21). This event also sees to removal of everything that is in rebellion to God or does not belong to God.
More of the same old mantra, that you love writing or pasting, to just to hear yourself talk. I glance over it and move on.
