Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. - John 12:24.

Jesus said! he was alone until he was to die and then he would bring forth fruit. Not until then could the ultimate plan and purpose of God be fully operational in this world. To literally birth his own child..and that child came to new life by the only life there is. Satan life is not life.. only a false.. pseudo.. life.. expression in the world that believes it is god.

--- THE ONLY LIFE YOU HAVE IS CHRIST -----

Now the 25th verse; watch it and you can see yourself, but you have to see yourself 'in Him' as your only life - there is no other life in scripture. Surely there is no life written in scripture. As we talked about before; there is no such thing a human being having a life of their own ..life only comes out of your nature. Which is; sin life still, or the life of God which is in Christ. There is no life in the Satan ..life ..spirit ..nature (but death life). The nature that you came into this world with by a birthing; as the birthed seed of Adam (Satan nature).

The Spirit HAS to reveal that new knowledge to you); because you have no life but Christ! They that live unto the self for self old knowledge - in trying to please God; lives for themselves..which is the old knowledge of good and evil!

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. - John 12:25.

you're right

this life in the flesh is only for self, despite what one may think such as for family or country so on and so forth no matter what, its for the satisfaction of self.

but the Life of Christ is for and of the Father.

as far as saying old knowledge of good and evil, na, what happened at the tree was A&E's own judgement of what is good and evil for themselves, of which the Creator and Judge is the Judge of what is good and evil for His creation and the creatures therein no exceptions. they being deceived with a dose of distrust of God, to think to be like gods were to judge good and evil for themselves. hence going by their own judgement, not God's. God's Judgement is Life, proved by the fact if they went by God's Judgement in His commandment they would have continued to live the Life they were given:

Luk 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

the error is they judged, and any judgement not God's is death, hence man suffering the results of his own judgement, on what's it called by some, "judgement day".

so they being in the flesh were left with the life of the flesh that animals had already, not in God's likeness or image anymore. and Jesus restored that Life to us, which yes is the only life there is for those born again.

You have to fit nature in your perspective. The evil Adam recieved was not Adam's evil..as far as him producing that evil. You understand where evil comes from? Not Adam..Adam is in the image and likeness of God! Just as you.

no read the bible:

Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:


the sons of man are not in God's image or likeness, Adam die of that Life in the image and likeness of God at the tree. God is a Spirit according to Jesus, therefore without God's Spirit there is no image and likeness of God. flesh is not in the image and likeness of God. that is something many want to believe therefore they can believe in a god of their own imaginations that is like unto themselves. you can even see that here on this site.

Wow brother you have me stumped ..don't know how to respond to that. It seems like an uptight idea to not just take scripture as it is written. Please stop quoting scripture and giving your understanding of it. just read and relax for awhile.

@soul man Sometimes the direction in which a thread turns is hard to follow, right?

in #4 i tried to explain with scripture as the proof that the sons of man are not in God's image and likeness but in man's likeness. FYI a disobedient who trusts the words of another and not God's Word isn't in God image and likeness. (one should understand God does trust Himself and expects the same from His Son and or sons)
Luk 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

you have read Paul's description of Jesus as the second Adam, right? God made Adam in His image but Adam did not remain in God's image and likeness.

the rest is commentary on the way things are with those not born again and thinking they are in God's likeness.
_______________________-
also while i'm here, what is evil in this case is the place that is for Light, God's place in the earth, has been given to that which belongs in darkness. when Jesus said man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. that also means any other word can not be lived by for man. Eve trust the serpents words and according to God Adam trusted Eve's words, which were contrary to God's Word.

man is God's place in the earth, note the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which is the Presence of God which is the likeness and image of God. likeness and image of God is righteousness judgement and mercy, love faith and hope, wisdom knowledge and understanding the Truth the Way and the Life. not flesh, if man's flesh was in the image of God then all primates could be misconstrued as in the image of God and we know that's not good at all.
