Because there was nothing else equivalent with what was lost. The death of an imperfect man was not enough, many animals sacrifices were not enough, no matter how much gold you collect it wouldn't be enough, no matter how much scented incense you light wouldn't have been enough. Again: Psal...

If you read the story you will realize that Satan told Eve that God was lying to her. He told her that they would not die if they ate the fruit, that they would be like God. In those few words he meant that God's rule was unjust, and that he was purposely taking away something that was good for...

I think that is part of the laws of existence: everything has a price. Psal. 49:6 Those who are trusting in their wealth And who boast about their great riches, 7 None of them can ever redeem a brother Or give to God a ransom for him, 8 (The ransom price for their life is so precious That it is...

The Bible doesn't support that doctrine. Immortality is a prize that only some persons receive. If someone is living forever without dying, wherever it is, that is immortality. It is evidently a false doctrine: 1 Cor. 15:53 For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this...

Both are true. Only after the first kind of resurrection a dead person (a brother of Jesus and no one else) go with him and is granted immortality. Again: AFTER THEIR RESURRECTION, not at the moment of death. Most dead Christians will be resurrected on earth, like John the Baptist: Matt...

The way Jehovah brings us out of that state is by offering his son as a sacrifice. It is like paying a very large debt that someone has to pay. The offense of our first parents was very serious when they took the side of the spirit that called God a liar. The consequences of that rebellion have...

Exact. If our bodies continued to be perfect, taking care of ourselves, we could live forever, as newly created bodies, without defects. Adam's sin was a communicable defect. This defect causes us to not function correctly and end up dying in a "natural" way, because from Adam we inherit the...

The Bible has the definition: John 5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. It is life that does not depend on external factors. It never ends and nothing can stop it. The afterlife of the dead is a myth. It would be like...

If I sin it is because I can't control all my actions because of the imperfect body I got out of the sin of my first human parents. Does the phrase: "no one is perfect" sound familiar to you? It's real. The reason a human cannot sire a horse is the same reason an imperfect man cannot sire a...

It is not consistent that you quote the Bible on the one hand while denying what it says on the other. The Bible is clear that the sin of all of humanity originated in Adam. It is the law of life: if a man is infected with a venereal disease and fathers a child, his child will suffer the...

Jesus Christ was a perfect man like Adam. He had not inherited sin genetically, so his physical constitution was similar to that of Adam before he sinned. If Jesus had followed the law faithfully during his life, he could have lived forever, because his righteousness would have assured his...

Eternal life is one thing. Immortality is something else. A perfect human body like Adam's when he was created could live forever. In that condition of perfect and just (out of obedience) his body could still be hurt for various reasons. He would have to have a guarantee that God would ensure...

Malachi wrote at about the same time as Nehemiah. The temple was already rebuilt, so it must have been around the 5th century BC. Malachi was the last inspired writer of the Jewish Scriptures, and after him the so-called intertestamental period began. Nearly four centuries passed before Jesus...

The continuation of the perfect life that Adam had been enjoying was conditional on his obedience to Jehovah. By disobeying God he became unworthy to continue living in that place created for righteous people, and was prevented from receiving the guarantee of the indefinite prolongation of his...

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil did not give man any additional knowledge, but rather represented God's right to tell man what was right and wrong. By eating from it Adam took away God's right of deciding that and became independent. Likewise the tree of life had no special property...

Well, in English this expression "who do you think you are?" is a reaction to certain attitudes. In my quote is a reaction to your suggestions to a lady; very rude of your part.

Christians have a God with name: Jehovah, and his Son is Jesus, the Christ Jehovah sent to humans. Whatever you think is irrelevant. Sorry for my honesty. You have nothing to teach us; we are not part of your religion. Col. 2:8 Look out that no one takes you captive by means of the philosophy...

If you say BahaUllah is the ultimate prophet, you are not a Christian.

Regardless of whatever you believe, the Scriptures already gave me those answers I needed to know about that.

That is a trap, brother. They are making you loose your time. But it is your choice, my brother. I am not trying to force you do anything.
