And he died spiritually the moment he disobeyed. He didn't die physically for over a hundred years; and that because he no longer had access to the fruit of the tree of life.

All sin comes from the conscious mind. It derives from the wrong free will choice.

Growing old and dying is the fact of creation for all physical life. There is no such thing as immortal physical life. Even in the resurrection there will be spiritual life, not natural (physical) life (1 Cor 15:44).

The crucifixion was not for forgiveness. It was punishment of sin. Forgiveness was obtained in the animal sacrifices. Forgiveness was obtained in the baptism of John. Neither paid the price of punishment for sin. That was what we received from Jesus' death on the cross. And that is...

God must, because of His holiness, punish sin. Forgiveness of the sin is not punishment for sin. Sin must be punished. Jesus took our place in the punishment for sin.

Nothing happened to Adam's body when he sinned.

No, I am not mistaken. Adam and Eve were created with sinful flesh. Otherwise why did they sin? It is man's spirit given him by God at or before birth. It was a perfectly good spirit. And yes, once one has sinned, his spirit is no longer as it was when God gave it. He needs to be reborn to...

Where did your spirit come from?

I think that is you, not me. Originated, yes. He started it. He was not the cause. You are the cause of any and all of your sin. Children suffer physically all the time for their parents' mistakes and sins. That is the natural course in the physical life of all. That does not carry over...

I answered that. Forget about being deceived. The reason Eve sinned is because she saw that "the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise". That is almost John's definition for sin: 1Jn 2:15 Do not love the world or...

There was an exception. That was Jesus. And yes I see what you are asking. You are asking if there was or is anyone like Jesus. I think you know the answer to that. Yes, Eve was deceived. She thought God wouldn't do what He said if she disobeyed. And Adam was also deceived. He was given...

For the exact same reason that Adam and Eve sinned. They were given a choice, they chose badly.

Our spirits are not born of parents, our spirits are born of God. Do not fall into the trap of traducianism. Our spirits do not come by way of procreation, they come from God. Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens...

And I quoted the Bible about what Jesus did. He undid what Adam did. Now just to be very clear hear. None of Romans 5:14-19 is dealing with what you and I have done. It is not speaking about what Jesus' obedience did for your sins or my sins. It is only addressing the effect of Jesus'...

Do you see the trend among priests becoming pedophiles?

Perhaps we can try that again. Romans 5:10-21 ESV Rom 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Rom 5:11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ...

Have you noticed a general trend (of course there are exceptions to the rule), that Catholics who convert to Protestantism are usually grateful and happy, and do so through deeper intellectual study, etc.? And Protestants who leave the faith to become Catholic or atheists are usually bitter, and...

Simply and horribly false. God is the only one to impute sin. He does not impute the sin of one person unto another. We are not born disconnected from God. We are born absolutely connected to God until such time that we sin. Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from...

The statements, "John has 10 horses" and "John has 14 horses" is not a contradiction. The contradiction to "John has 10 horses" is "John does not have 10 horses".

The whole concept of justice is an interesting one for me. Depending upon the particular English version, the Hebrew word, "tsedawkaw" is translated as righteous(ness) or justice. For example compare the KJV and the NASB for Genesis 18:19. Either way, justice is always that which is right and...
