And, this should be read right along side other things Jesus said... where He said there are things believers can do that will result in them being lost
Hello Lamb,This very distinguishing of the tripartite of man invariably leads to the discussing God's essences..
My " but" was simply a conjunction, nothing more nothing less than the combining of two thoughts...lol
I don't see how it can mean that. I have to just go with the passage itself. "The day you eat you die." I believe it's true.
Don’t worry @marks....be back later,I will have to scroll back to find it...What was your question, I'm sorry?
Much love!
Because, the OSAS peoples keep telling everybody that it's not possible to lose your salvation
You too...God Bless.Thank you for the discussion everyone.
When adam and later eve were created they were not born again . But they were not yet dead in sin either .Ok, we differ in our opinion....so you believe they died straight away, physically?...or do you believe they died in their spirit?...which in honesty, dying in their spirit doesn’t make sense to me....anyway I shall give it over to God...
Don’t worry @marks....be back later,I will have to scroll back to find it...
I will pray about it Brother...always a pleasure to discuss with you...Praise God.
I edited your post in quote.Hello Lamb,
Something you said here reminds me of the simple lay out.
God breathed life into Adam - he became a living soul.
Adam and Eve - had spiritual life because they were able to communicate with God, while in the garden.
Disobeyed a command - Sentence was give, and they were cast out with their sentencing, yet God still loved them enough to sacrifice a animal to make them some better clothes. Eve later praised God for her son Abel, which means " breathe, vapor."
The spiritual connection of being able to have access with God so freely was cut off - and because of this leaving this place into the new world, seems to say that all people start of spiritually dead, until they become spiritually made alive. (Ephesians 2; Romans 5:1-17.)
Thank you for your opinion @amigo de christo ..When adam and later eve were created they were not born again . But they were not yet dead in sin either .
The day they ate of that tree THAT DEATH CAME UPON THEM and from then on the only way back to GOD
to truly enter into LIFE , would come by JESUS CHRIST . He alone is how one can be born again .
Even adam , eve , to david , to all slept now in the dirt . These did die in faith beleiving in a COMING MESSIAH .
WHEN JESUS AROSE THESE AROSE too from the grave . And in mathew twenty seven we see them write about it .
Many of the saints that slept arose from graves and many seen them .
THE KEY is once adam and eve ate of the TREE DEATH came upon them and upon all mankind ever since .
THE KEY , BORN AGAIN . that which is of the flesh is fleshly but that which is of the SPRIIT is SPIRIT .
Its so very high time the church gets busy pointing everyone and all BACK to the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST
and folks better make darn sure its the JESUS OF THE BIBLE and not some other version of him they be a following either .
Now raise those hands , Cause i do believe the time on deck is YET AGAIN , LORD PRAISING and THANKING TIME
in the building and round the earth . Dance a jig of praise to the glorious LORD .
I'm just saying at the moment that I believe God's Word was fulfilled, and that on the very day they ate, they died, regardless of how we understand that death, I believe it happened.Ok, we differ in our opinion....so you believe they died straight away, physically?...or do you believe they died in their spirit?...which in honesty, dying in their spirit doesn’t make sense to me....anyway I shall give it over to God...
Thank you for your insight @marks ...very interesting read.....I’m going to get stuck into Genesis....God Bless....I'm just saying at the moment that I believe God's Word was fulfilled, and that on the very day they ate, they died, regardless of how we understand that death, I believe it happened.
This is from another thread . . .
It's entirely possible that the time would have come when God would have permitted man to eat of the tree. Again, just my speculation, but here it is . . .
Why hadn't man eaten yet from the Tree of Life? Why hadn't he eaten that first? It was permitted, and was the Tree of Life, one of the two special trees. My guess, why that would be, is that the Tree of Life had not yet produced fruit.
And I wonder, if perhaps they had not eaten from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, that fruit would have then formed on the Tree of Life. And had they not eaten from the forbidden tree, this would have shown the stability of Innocent Righteousness, and they could have eaten from the Tree of Life, becoming immortal in Innocent Righteousness.
And it may be that then they could have received the knowledge of good and evil without it corrrupting them, I don't know.
Or it may be that tree would remain ever uneaten.
The thing is, though, I don't think Innocent Righteousness is a stable state. God is good in and of Himself, that is, He is intrinsically good. Man was created good, his goodness imparted to him by God. But man was not intrinsically good. And therefore what man had received man could lose. And lose it he did! Boy oh boy did he!!
Like I said, just some thoughts on these things . . .
To add another . . . the difference between we who are in Christ, and Adam before he fell, is that his spirit was alive and in fellowship with God being created good, and being innocent, and therefore having remained good, righteous. We, however, having been born with our spirit dead, are now spiritually alive and in fellowship with God because we've joined to Jesus' life, and share His righteousness and fellowship with the Father.
Much love!
From my studies, I've come to see death as referring to separation.
Physical death, the soul separated from the body.
Spiritual death, the soul separated from God.
Their are things we may not fully understand . BUT What i say next I DO FULLY UNDERSTAND .Thank you for your opinion @amigo de christo ..
Thanks for that above and beyond attention, response. Now I know. But I am particular, so the discussion of the TRINITY pertains to 'what' exactly? Are we just talking about GOD....or am I not allowed to discuss man being triparte and not biparte? I ask and I support that question with a verse.
1TH 5:23 and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;
I break triparte down as;
spirit = WHAT you are (in the image of God)
soul = WHO you are (the motivating lifeforce of )
flesh = WHERE you live ("this earthly tent I live in; Paul")
Someone complemented you a few days ago on your signature line, which I always agreed with...BUT. And I couldn't figure out where that BUT came from. But after reading that text I feel like His word came to me, but I thought better to just not start another non theological conversation;
Believe what you will, but know this, his TRUTH will outlast your beliefs !
BUT His word to me was; This is true UNLESS your beliefs are my truth. Oh, that was good Lord. But I still like your signature.
Very true Brother...I’m giving this one over to God....thank you for your input, very much appreciated...have a great day...and keep Praising the Lord!!!Their are things we may not fully understand
You are correct, friend.Their are things we may not fully understand . BUT What i say next I DO FULLY UNDERSTAND .
And its WHY I shall continue to POINT TO THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE ,the ONLY ONE WHO GIVETH ETERNAL LIFE .
BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST , learn him well for many decievers who preach another jesus have come within christendom
to lead the people as one astray FROM JESUS CHRIST and the dire need to even teach one must BELIEVE ON HIM .
They know how to decieve as does their father the devil . THEY will use the word love and recreate
another image of GOD and of CHRIST through their own version of what they teach as love .
IT has made the ROAD TO GOD VERY BROAD . IT WILL accept sins and other religoins as vaild . BUT IT BE A LIE
and it cometh of the father of lies , the prince of darkness , satan , the ol dragon , the serpent .
RITA its taking captive whole churches now and its moving in faster and faster under the words love and tolerance
and unity and we are one . ITS an all inclusive love rainbow but it cometh not OF GOD nor leadeth to GOD .
It cometh of that which is of anti christ and has led the religoins and more and more christendom and the world
to UNIFY more and more under what IT calls love . Beware it and all who do speak it .
From our lips shall proceed only THIS TRUTH , ONLY THIS HOPE , JESUS CHRIST , cause there is no other truth
no other hope , no other name THAT CAN SAVE . all else is winds of dark love that cannot save and its all in vain .
It was a serpent, not aHello Hillsage,
From my lessons and gleanings from the bible over the years, has gotten me to consider that the soul, is the image of God (it is the mind/will/emotions which all people have.) You can call it spirit if you would like to that doesn't bother me, however to me it is the soul which is the image of God and thus, all of us have a mind, all of us have our own individual will, and all of have some kind of handle or nonhandle on the emotions that one may go through in life.
The Spirit of God, which was there with God, and God's spoken word, is a spirit which is a helper according to Jesus, and also known as a comforter, like a compassionate, loving person who desires to comfort, a lot of Mothers are known for desiring to comfort their children when they are in pain, or are going through a rough sickness, and overall care. Yeshua told his chosen apostles when they received the spirit they would do great and wonderful things, in his name. Many people are out there today, doing the same thing, helping other people out by the Spirit of God within them, which Yeshua was raised back from the dead, by God's Spirit, and he was resurrected on the third day. In that those who are looking faithfully to God, can be comforted by the God of all comfort, and to find compassion, and mercy while turning to Yahava, and letting him know what is going on... mad, pissed, angry, distraught, uncaring, unloving, greedy, tell your Father what is going on with one or not... always a choice there.
Adam and Eve, in my opinion, had spiritual life, while they were there with God in the Garden. Remember when it was written 1000 years is like 1 day with the Lord, and 1 day with Lord is like a thousand years. Think abou their life for a minute and a day, and see what you would have done with such freedom and such unique place which was set by several rivers, I believe that this place existed on earth at one point in time. Mankinds first couple to commune with Yahava, the Lord God of Israel -> which would come shortly after these few years being with Yahava, and he would teach them how to sacrfice because later on you see Abel and Cain going to give sacrifice to Yahava, because mom and dad seen God do it, therefore you do it for him.
That day when the sneaky old orangutang watching and observing these two human beings, the Spirit of Satan, entered into the Animal and the orrangutang talked to the Woman, beguiling here the absurdity of God's authority, just do what you want to attitude. Lead the Woman - Life - Eve, to go and make her own decision looking into the fruit, she seen it was good for wisdom, and therefore she reached out from with-in her soul through her body, and grabbed the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Then went forward and gave to Adam, and Adam was look ... well hunny with a woman like you, ill do anything for you, (only to later blame God for the woman that he gave him!) Oh the absurdity. The Top Drama, of the first few chapters of the bible. And Sentence was given, and that day, when they left the Garden, they were spiritually cut off from that access with God... which now today people enter into because of Yeshua having restored what Adam lost.
Praise be!
