OK...just playing catch-up....
I think it means you'll inevitably perish
Being mortal means you
can die, but it doesn't mean you
have to. There was no natural cause of death ever mentioned to Adam and his wife. The only way to die was to disobey the only negative command that the humans had.
Have you never noticed that there were only three commands ever given to the humans? Only one was negative and the other two were positive.
1) God said, don't eat the fruit that belongs to me or you will die. He had given them every other fruit in the garden, so no hardship was imposed by this reasonable restriction. It was a small test of their respect for their Creator as their ruler and appreciation for his property, and the bounty he had already given them.
2) The positive commands were connected....."fill the earth and subdue it".....have lots of children, build up your workforce and transform the rest of this planet into something like the garden of Eden.
That was it. No lengthy set of laws, no religion to create division, no reason for fighting over territory that all belonged to God anyway, and the enjoyment of good physical work, with satisfying results that humans were designed for. Everlasting life was given to accomplish all that and no death meant that there would never be grieving.
There was no reason to get sick or to succumb to the ravages of old age, because the tree of live guaranteed that it would never happen.
Earth was never meant to be training ground for heaven. If Adam and his wife had remained obedient, there would never have been a need for Jesus to fill the role of the savior and there would never have been a need for the Kingdom to take us back to the beginning. God always finishes what he starts, even if there is a detour. (Isaiah 55:11)
Do you know the difference between everlasting life and immortality? Most people think they mean the same thing, but they are completely different.
Yeah but why didn't He just nor create a tree of knowledge of good and evil if He didn't want them knowing good from evil?
It was a test to see if their free will would be compromised by disobeying their rightful Sovereign and stealing something that did not belong to them.
I don't know the exact scriptures but He said He and the Father are one and that if you've seen Him, you've seen the Father?
Jesus said a lot of things but he also said "
the Father is greater than I am". (John 14:28)
John 1:1 calls Jesus "God" but does it call him "THE God" or just a "godlike one"? John 1:18 answers....
"No man has seen God at any time. The only begotten god...has explained him". If no one has ever seen God, then how do you explain how many people saw Jesus?
How can God be in three different places at once...or why does one part of God need to pray to himself, or to know things the other parts don't?
Jesus called his Father "my God" when he was on earth, but he also called him "my God" when he returned to heaven. (Revelation 3:12) How is that possible? Does one part of God worship himself?
Once you start to take the trinity apart, you will see that it is a satanic lie. It forms the foundations of Christendom....but it is built on sand... that monumental edifice will collapse when the storm comes.
