    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    It still doesn't demand that flesh inherently equals sin, apart from the Fall. That is all you.

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    Do you have a better answer than "Sin ruined an otherwise good thing...?" "And God saw the light, that it was good;..." Genesis 1:4 NKJV "And God saw that it was good." v. 10 "And God saw that it was good." v. 12 "And God saw that it was good." v. 18 "And God saw that it was good." v. 21 "And...

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    You are asking everyone here to accept a dump truck-load of dysorthodoxy without offering a shred of Scriptural support. Your views are highly speculative.

    Because sin won't be a thing any more. (Also, there will be no meaningful competition.)

    (You keep moving the goalposts.)

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    That does not jive with Genesis 2:23-24.

    [extra-Biblical] I believe that entropy is a consequence of the Fall, not an inherent quality of flesh. [/extra-Biblical] Pre-Fall, the food supply kept up with demand.

    Even Peter's body could walk on water, when Jesus commanded him.

    Looking at Jesus' resurrected body, its form will be the same [1 Thessalonians 4:17], but we won't marry > reproduce in that state [Matthew 22:30].

    To the OP, “Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother...

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    Where does that phrase come from?

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    I am not sure what you are asking here. I just don't see any Biblical support for any other humans preceding Adam, Eve or Cain. I do believe in a gap of unspecified duration while the Spirit hovered over the surface of the waters [Genesis 1:2], but according to Scripture, it was dormant. (I...

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    You are certainly free to theorize such. I am just saying that theory is extra-Biblical. (I have some extra-Biblical theories of my own, but I recognize them as being such.) Elves in folklore were often portrayed as being mischievous ["Santa" excepted], not glorious (as unfallen angels were...

    Because they knew what was about to happen.

    “Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So God created man in His own image; in the image...

    There was no such other children identified [at least, her would-be firstborn]. Their fate of living with cursed parents, on cursed ground was never recorded. They were denied access to the Tree of Life, too, when their would-be innocence would not have disqualified them so. There were never two...

    That opinion has no Scriptural support.

    Did mind–body dualism exist before original sin?

    To me, two facts point to the physicality of their bodies: 1. They needed to eat. “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food..." Genesis 1:29 NKJV Pre-fallen Man had to eat, but...
