    Adam and his wife died physically after eating the Forbidden Fruit. Genesis 2:17 is Literal.

    And you are simply left with the little problem of how, after the died, they were then fashioned aprons of leaves, evicted from the garden and reared children, and died after having lived 930 years (Genesis 5:5). If you adopt your analysis of one little bit of Genesis, you pretty much invalidate...

    Adam and his wife died physically after eating the Forbidden Fruit. Genesis 2:17 is Literal.

    No, it isn’t…. “Yom”, the Hebrew word for “day”, can mean a period of time, an era marking delineation of a set Notice that all the days of 1 thru 6 ended. Now God rested on the 7th day, right? When does Genesis say it ended? It doesn’t. And the Apostle Paul said @ Hebrews 4:4-11 that God’s...

    Did Adam and Eve and animals have genitals before the fall?

    I appreciate your response @URAVIP2ME . I interpret 'day' as being a literal twenty-four hour or less period of time. Nothing in the context suggests that the word day needs to be changed to 'a thousand years'. That again is adding to the Word. In fact, we have the same issue here... Genesis...

    Did Adam and Eve and animals have genitals before the fall?

    In the Bible the definition of the word ' day' does Not always mean a 24 hr. day. Even in English we speak of grandfather's day and Noah's day and know that is Not about a literal 24 hr. day. Please also notice that ALL of the creative days are summed up by the single word ' day ' at Genesis 2:4...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    But they did not die on the day they ate the fruit. Don Stewart: Did Adam and Eve Die When They Ate the Forbidden Fruit? The Bible says that God warned Adam about eating the forbidden fruit: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it...

    What are the attributes of a worthy God?

    Worse are the false teachings of Christendom (so-called Christians - Matthew 7:21-23) who teach torture after death. Adam was told if he sinned he would die. No post-mortem penalty, No double jeopardy in death mentioned. Both Jesus and the OT both teach ' sleep ' Not torture in death. The dead...

    If humans can't unite on religion, is there a purpose to religion?

    I agree that the word ' day ' in the Bible has various shades of meaning, but that is neither here nor there. Let's get back to Genesis. Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. God...

    If humans can't unite on religion, is there a purpose to religion?

    I think ^ above ^ you are speaking about a literal or actual 24-hour day. In 'Bible speak' the word ' day ' has shades of meaning. Jesus spoke of Noah's day which was more than 24 hours. This is also true of our day when we speak of grandfather's day and we know that is Not a 24-hour day. Even...

    More than one God in the OT?

    Add to that the fact that nothing in the Old Testament truly mentions "Jesus Christ". There are just random passages picked out by NT writers that contain "he" or "my servant" and they just find some cockamamie way to attach Jesus to it and say, "Aha! See? Jesus was predicted in the OT so the...

    More than one God in the OT?

    Sorry to disagree with you Tony, but there is nothing in that book that was beyond the ability of human beings to write, which is true of every book ever written. If you think otherwise, produce a biblical passage that you or I couldn't have written. Let's look a some randomly chosen passages...

    Death,Why is it so Scary?

    Thank you for your reply, and yes God told Adam if he ate the forbidden fruit he would die - Genesis 2:17 And law-breaker Adam did die within that 'thousand-year day' time frame - Genesis 5:5 Man needs 'saving' (rescuing / delivering) from the grave. Because of fallen father Adam we can't stop...

    EVE! Legendary heroine of Humanity!

    He couldn't have sinned. To sin, he'd have to have had prior knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil ─ but that had explicitly been denied to him (and Eve, of course). Nothing of the kind is found anywhere in the bible. The claim is entirely unsupported. The Fall is said by Christians to...

    EVE! Legendary heroine of Humanity!

    ' the evening and the morning ' is referring to the ' 6 creative days ', Not the life span of a thousand years. Genesis 1:1 through Genesis 2:4 is about the 6 creative days of unknown length. There is Nothing in chapter one saying if each creative day was of the same or differing lengths of...

    EVE! Legendary heroine of Humanity!

    But none of that is in the Garden story. That's all invented much later, brought into Christianity by Paul's small mention of it, and turned into a Big Deal by Augustine of Hippo. Large parts of Christianity have been about guilt ever since. The Jewish religion, to the best of my understanding...

    EVE! Legendary heroine of Humanity!

    Wrong. Someone is misleading you. Genuine Christians do Not blame Eve - 1 Timothy 2:14 Eve was deceived. Adam was Not deceived - 1 Timothy 2:14 Eve blames the serpent for deceiving her - Genesis 3:13 And Adam wrongly blames Eve - Genesis 3:12 So, with full knowledge it was Adam who wilfully...

    Was the Serpent a Literal Snake?

    Right, because the word 'day' would Not be a 24-hour day, but a thousand-year day - Psalms 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8 Adam and Eve would die within a thousand-year time frame. ( a thousand-year day ) So, with that in mind, please read Genesis 5:5 Genesis 5:27 and you will find No one lived past age...

    Jehovah's Witnesses only: Questions regarding the resurrection in Jehovahs Witness theology

    So Deeje, is only half right about the resurrection in the 1000 years. There are two forms of resurrection in JW theology, those of the anointed and those of everybody else. The first resurrection is already happening. The anointed are raised immediately from death to perfection. I forgot to...

    Did Christ Have An Ego?

    No, I'm saying we don't know that Adam did not live over 900 years. All we can do is look at people these days.

    Did Christ Have An Ego?

    So you are saying Genesis 5:5 contains a wrong estimate?

    Did Christ Have An Ego?

    According to the genealogies it is a natural life span at that time but which went down over time till after the flood God said I think 120 years should be more normal and later God dropped it further. It is not known exactly how long ago Adam lived or exactly how long ago the flood was, but...
