odinson1: there was no mention of that in the book of genesis
LordReed: He knew they were already mortal and were going to die anyway but lied to them that if they ate the fruit they'd die that day. And then you add to your god's deception by saying he meant spiritual death. He didn't say spiritual death because your god is just an arsehole, you guys have made that abundantly clear.
you have to compare scripture with scripture
The final separation of the wicked from God almighty is called second death
Rev 20:14 — Rev 20:15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The first death happened in eden . Frim that time every man coming to the world were born dead because of the sin of Adam which passed upon men .
Rom 5:12 — Rom 5:14 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. . . Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
So what made a man dead is not his personality sin but the sin he inherited from Adam. Jesus refered to people alive as dead
Mat 8:21 — Mat 8:22 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
You see . Theres no deception. If you embrace jesus today you shall be saved from second death . Eternal separation
Faithful4real: When i was reading OP post i was laughing. Atheist don't understand spiritual things. You can't apply the physical with the spiritual and the spiritual governs the physical. Sooooo they will never understand.
[quote author=LordReed post=90687989]LoL! So if they ate from neither tree were humans going to live forever?
They have to eat from the two trees at appointed time . they were made for man.
[quote]Secondly your spiritual death gymnastic doesn't work because god said "that day". Genesis describes day as "the evening and the morning". Several evenings and mornings occurred after the eating of the fruit before they died so yeah god deceived them.
They died that day according to the word of God. The death was spiritual not bodily. death is separation. man God separated ftom God. this was the first death. The second death is eternal separation.
LordReed: Right from Genesis all the way to Revelation the bible god seems to have no qualms with deception, using it himself on occasion.
Wrong
Start with him telling Adam and Eve that they will die the day they eat a certain fruit, which of course didn't happen.
You’re wrong . They died that day . It was a spiritual death . From that day . All men that comes to the world are born dead spiritually brcause they sinned in Adam . Their inner man died to God
[color=Red]Romans 5:12 (KJV) . . . and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:[/color]
Thats why Jesus came so that life can come to the human spirit
sassysure: U just spoiled your tori by saying Drs told him the procedure was unnecessary that a better surgeon has done it Which Dr will open mouth to say this in medical world? Rather, they will conduct more tests, tel you to go back home, report for observations few more times before they will write it off as medical history.
I
You now know more than Doctors . They checked him and said the hole was gone . Remember this is a multi billionaire. The owner of econet. He testified with his own mouth I still have the audio in my iPad
I love what he said about people making personal researches and the importance of creating an educated society that gives room for people to source for knowledge for themselves.
MiddleDimension: when he took the three with him to the mountain where he got transfigured, was he trying to say the other 8 were 'outsiders'?
ubenedictus, donnie and joagbaje, what do you all think?
They would all have been transformed if not for the fact that they were sleeping instead of praying along . But he carried them to pray with him but it was only jesus who was praying
Luke 9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
By the way my answer was not meant for you but others who saw your question. Because it's not allowed for me to try expound spiritual truth to non christian.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
jesusjnr: Hence the frustration of the Holy Spirit because despite being on Earth, He lacks the Word of God to enable Him serve the purpose for which He came to the Earth, which was to bear witness unto that Word.
.
I dont understand this revelation of the holy spirit lacking word. I thought hes the revelatory of the word
Jn 16:12 — Jn 16:13 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
More gossip .. retire from this old business. Let's preach the gospel and leave satan to do his job as accuser. There are countless posts against every minister and your church is not spared.
TruthinAction: I am walking in love does not mean you cover evil that can destroy the destiny of many. If Pastor Chris is accused of sexual sin, it should be proven and not just mere saying. Those he has slept with should do a video like Bisola did. Or those who caught them should come out openly. Otherwise, it is all allegations that is not proven.
Nice one. This is the kind of question our holy brothers should have been asking instead of helping the devil to spread unfounded stories
