When Adam fell in the beginning, he recieved something.
Before he fell he was receiving directly from the Creator.
He recieved his own fellowship with the Creator, he recieved all the answer to his life at the time.
He recieved a help mate and companion for his life.
There was nothing Adam needed, seemingly. His communication with his creator God was almost perfect, all he had to do was obey one command, don't eat from that tree.
When Adam disobeyed God and ate from the tree he recieved the life the Creator said he would receive, death.
Death-life was now a way of living in the earth. Wasn't the life he had but it was a life.
So now Adam goes about to replenish the earth the Creator created, but what Adam replenished the earth with was death-life, a disease he had received in the garden. Adam is looking at something he has never seen before, everything looks different.
He is thrown out of his home and now a vagabond with nowhere to go, with this life called death.
Not a very good situation to be in, from the Palace to the Pit.
And he has people (person) he must take care of.
I'm sure she is not a happy camper, shopping Maces one day and the next day screaming from child birth.
What punishment for all involved, both grinding out a living, one screaming bloody murder and the other just simply lost. Can you image, well yea we can in a way because that has been our life from the time you stepped into this world until the day you step out.
Keep in mind life and death are the same to the Lord.
You realize now your death (physical) is gain to the lord. I say that based on what Jesus said "in my Father's house are many mansions." The father is filling his house, but that is another message, John 14:2
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
So don't take death so serious, I understand grieving and lose, and we should we are not morbid but it must be the dead that bury the dead, not the living.
If you haven't figured out temporal yet well I don't know what to say, but figure it out.
When believers die they do not go to a better place like we preach. I understand the solice in that to comfort but a believer can be in no better place than they are now, which is "in Christ."
We are born dead, recieve life (Christ) if believers, most don't know what that is but we recieve it. We die and go back to the father. Make this life count, you are not going to get another life to try again.
Like the corn of wheat that falls in the ground and brings forth life our father always gets life out of death.
When Adam left the garden.
Adam had his same LIFE...
Bodily LIFE, which IS his own natural BLOOD.
Adam also had his same soul LIFE...
Adam, was Given "soul LIFE', via Gods breath. (Like every man whose formed body is brought into an ALIVE state).
And like every living man, ADAM corrupted his SOUL, through disobedience TO GOD.
And like every living man, Adam's SOUL requires "RESTORATION", back to NOT being corrupted, as it was NOT corrupted, when God BLOWS LIFe from Him, into a formed BODY.
TWO things ARE revealed in Genesis, regarding Adam....BEFORE he is sent OUT of the Garden.
1) His SOUL "WAS" "forgiven" ... in the same manner, We later find...OT men were "forgiven"...
Ie.....BY the BLOOD of Animals....and the Covering up of their Bodies.
The BLOOD of animals provided the "forgiveness"
The COVERING of their Bodies, HID, their SHAME...(ie their flesh).
God slew the animal, God covered Adams' shame with the skin of an animal.
(Later, we find men, slaughtering pure animals, for their blood to be used for forgiveness of sin. And we find men clothing their flesh with garments, to hide the SHAME of their (then revealed) SINFUL, flesh).
THE practice of men slaughtering animals for their pure blood, had not been revealed TO Adam, thus he was not "required" to participate in that practice. God having slew an pure animal and covering Adams flesh, was sufficient to SAVE ADAMS SOUL.
2) What else was revealed, WAS...what ADAM WAS provided "TO EAT"....He Didn't.
Adam was provided "tO EAT" from the "TREE OF LIFE"...He Didn't.
Because Adam DID NOT eat from the "Tree of Life"....Adams "BODY" remained "subject to DEATH'...
A man "WHO DOES NOT EAT" from the "TREE OF LIFE"......and LATER...called "Christ's BODY"...
(Remember when Jesus said....Eat this bread, Drink this wine?......It is the SAME as...
A man....ACCEPTING....
Jesus' pure BLOOD, for saving the soul.
AND
Jesus' pure BODY, the TREE OF LIFE.
Drink....and ones SOUL shall be RESTORED.
....to FOREVER LIFE.
Eat...and ones BODY shall be "JUSTIFIED"
....to HAVe FOrEVER LIFE.
^. Accomplish those TWO THINGS....and the Lord God......SHALL give such a man....
Gods OWN SEED, to "rebirth" the mans "spirit" from natural to "supernature...
AND? Forever, that mans spirit shall have "FOREVER" LIFE.
The accountability of every Individual man...
IS According to WHAT Gods reveals.
IF God HAS NOT revealed it...a man Can not be held accountable for NOT KNOWING.
Adam, DID NOT KNOW, about, SIN, Forgiveness, Covering of SIN, Saving of his soul or quickening of his Spirit.....
What Adam DID know AT FIRST was ONLY the GOOD God taught Him.
After eating of the forbidden fruit, Adam became OPENED in Knowledge that pepuates that which is AGAINST GOD, thereafter, called EVIL.
What we find regarding Adam,
IN the Garden, is, Blessed BY God, Adam's flesh was naked, without SHAME, was learning GOOD things FROM God, and then ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of good AND EVIL.
BEFORE Adam leaves the garden....
his disobedience is forgiven (animal blood), his shame is covered (animal skin)...
Adam continues IN BELIEF in God...
He was BLESSED BY God.
His "spirit" was quickened....
How do we KNOW ^^^ THAT?
Because of LATER things revealed....
WHAT?
1) Men who are forgiven...and soul saved...
Are subject to ALSO receive....the SeeD of God (to quicken their spirit)....and ONLY men WHO....ARE forgiven, (bodies) saved, (souls) quickened, (spirits) ...ARE
CALLED..."sons of God"....and justified to be "redeemed".......AND...."resurrected" up in a body of glory, to forever LIFE with God.
THUS, that man becomes, "a son of God".
2)
[
38]....Adam, which was the son of God.
Every man AFTER Adam, now born in Adam's "natural life (blood of the body's life) "likeness...."
Corrupt Blood, which can not Save a mans soul.
Adam's flesh body was forgiven, his soul restored, and his spirit quickened...
Thus we find...his is a "son of God".
OT men had not YET been reveals JESUS' name...thus they were NOT accountable TO, vow an allegience TO JESUS.
OT men that became forgiven, soul restore, spirits quickened DID SO, according to THE KNOWLEDGE THEY WERE revealed.
"THOSE men who acquiesced and trusted the knowledge given THEM"....
Became bodily forgiven, soul restored, spirit quickened. Called saints, ARE accounted as "sons of God"....and await the "resurrection" of their Bodies to be "raised in Glory".
NT men and forward, were given MORE KNOWLEDGE, and thus the THEY become accountable for the Knowledge TO BECOME Forgiven, saved, quickened, by and through "belief" and submission "to" Jesus Christ...and God.
THEY who do are; forgiven, saved, Born Again and justified to be....redeemed And Resurrected in a glorified body.
Those who do not...shall die without forgiveness, without a restored soul, without a Quickened spirit and shall BE RAISED to judgement of Damnation.
Glory to God,
Taken
