Bob, once they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the damage was done. Knowing what is good and what is evil is an experience that cannot be undone. Therefore no, the way to the tree of knowledge was not blocked, and history proves that all the progeny (humanity) continually...

When a man is physically alive it is because the spirit in him is giving him life. When we acknowledge living beings, we don't say they are living spirits, but that they are living souls. Because living souls on this earth are endowed outwardly with living body of flesh and inwardly a living...

Yes, every believer in Christ goes to heaven and will be as the angels, that are not physical but spirit beings Bob. When people read of faithful saints, it's helpful to remember that when we are in Christ in both life and death we are no longer counted among "the dead", because faithful saints...

Bob, you make no differentiation between the physical body that dies, and the breath of life, which is our spirit that returns to God. Believers spirit returns to God indwelt with the life-giving Spirit. Life through the Spirit in believers is eternal, so when the spirit in man is indwelt by...

Bob, is not that the purpose for which God created the serpent more cunning and crafty, then permitted the serpent to deceive A&E? Would you not agree that humanity was tested to show them that man has no ability to save themselves? Man had to be shown by experience there need for a Savior...

Yes, Bob all humanity will be bodily resurrected for either life, or damnation when the last trump sounds. I believe angels are created by God. Scripture tells us why they are created. As ministering spirits for them who shall be heirs of salvation. Colossians 1:16-17 (KJV) For by him...

It's difficult to differentiate between the spirit and the soul. Because both mean to possess life. The difference is that the life that comes from man's spirit is what gives created beings our mind. The spirit, as I've said controls every body function of man. Soul also is defined as life...

Bob, it really doesn't matter that some people believe God is unrighteous and does not care. That some believe this does not make it true. Your illustration misses the obvious. Teachers are given to teach. How can they teach what they, in your illustration anyway, do not know? Since you...

Yes, the body without the spirit is dead. Because the spirit is what gives our body life. Having a spirit is to have conscientiousness, our mind/intellect which is the control center of our body. That's why when God created man from the dust, He breathed life (spirit) into the lump of clay...

Every breathing creature upon the earth is a living soul. Because soul is defined a breathing creature - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, × dead(-ly), desire, × (dis-) contented, × fish, ghost, greedy, he, heart(-y), (hath, × jeopardy of) life (× in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind...

Just as Paul writes there is an order of the resurrection of Christ and His saints. Christ is the first resurrection of the dead both spiritually (Lu 23:46), and three days later He resurrected physically. So too at His first coming, by His cross and resurrection those who had already died are...

The first eight verses show us who Paul is addressing. It is those who had heard the Gospel preached, "By which ye are saved". Although the atoning blood of Christ is the propitiation for ALL sin, man is not saved unless/until they believe. When we believe, our sins according to the...

Created bodies of every living creature upon the earth became a 'living soul' when the spirit from God (breath of life) is breathed into them. Without both flesh and spirit, no breathing creature upon the earth is a living soul. Without a spirit in them every created creature upon the earth...

A living, breathing creature is called a living soul Bob. How does the living soul have physical life? (Gn. 2:7) Souls can only be alive when the breath of life, called a 'spirit' remains in them. (Jo 6:63) When the physical body of all living creatures succumbs to death, it is because the...

When you quote my words Bob, the conversation will be more fruitful if you quote my words in context. As the context shows, I believe Christ was physically resurrected through his spirit, not that Christ was resurrected "a spirit". When I quoted Scripture saying "the last Adam was made a...

Not only did Satan say they would, like God, know good and evil, he also told them they would not die. The not dying part was how Satan deceived them, Bob. If I questioned God's Sovereignty, I would be guilty also. Do you believe the Creator did not know that sin, and death through sin...

Who said anything is symbolic?

I don't follow you, so no I am not aware of all you have written in these threads. There has always been only one Covenant that God made with mankind. It was established in heaven from the foundation of the world, and first written in Scripture when God told the serpent that He would put...

No, all mankind has not been made alive! All mankind shall be made alive in the last hour that is coming, only those who have done good will be resurrected to life. The rest resurrected to condemnation. And 1 Cor 15 does not say otherwise. Yes, all things will be made new, just not all...

That doesn't explain why Paul writes that many be dead through the offense of one man, and therefore many shall be made righteous. All mankind is condemned to death through the one man, Adam. But the grace of God abounds much more than the condemnation by the one man to mankind. Because...
