Point: When Adam sinned, because he was the god of this world and all things were subjected to him, all of creation (animals inclusive) also fell.
Why do mosquito bites cause malaria? Is it because Adam sinned too?

Well, before Adam sinned if a mosquito happened to bite him he wouldn't have been sick with malaria.

Why?

He was filled with the glory of God. All one needs to do is look at Jesus (The second Adam) if a mosquito had bitten Jesus, would he have been sick?

It's a supernatural life. The divine life. And Adam fell from it.

GOD doesnt promise humans they wont die 'physicaly" frm adam but he was talkin of spiritual immotality .Gen 3.22. (God pushd them out of garden to prevent them eating tree of life)

In fact let me help you more with your explanation.

Gen 4: Cain brings an offering up to the Lord from the fruit of the ground and God rejects it because He had caused the ground.

Abel brings a sheep and God respects it.

Now, according to the topic: why do animals die if they didn't eat the fruit.

Firstly, we know diseases didn't occur until after man's sin. Now animals today die naturally because of diseases. Well, did they eat of the fruit? Why are they partaking in diseases?

Secondly, Animals yes could be killed by man as one was even killed by God to provide clothing.

The same way Adam could also strangle Eve or stab her with a knife and then she would die. Or bleed to death.

But He couldn't do that because even though that was possible he had not yet known the knowledge of evil.

Or before the fall, would have man's flesh be impenetrable from a knife attack?

Point: Animals can also die of diseases naturally because of Man's sin. Or you want to tell me they could have died of diseases there in the garden.

If you do so, bring forth your strong reasons.
The bible never said animals have no disease in the garden of Eden , but we are told that unlike man whom is created to live forever , animals are " born Naturally to be caught and destroyed " 2 pet 2:12 nature create them to be caught and destroyed . Their desruction might come in any form which include sickness that leads to death . Or been caught by the WILD beasts of the field ( carnivoures animals )

The points are Very valid and scriptural , anything can happen to a creature thats naturally meant to be destroyed .

Its Adam that made we humans join the league of born to be destroyed , which then invites sickness and death to humans too . But because we are so precious , thats why Jesus came to ransom mankind from decay and corruption , nd in the future we have a real hope of ressurection . Jesus said " the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and COME OUT" John 5:28,29 . The ressurection hope distinguish us from animals whom as stated in 2 pet 2:12 are naturally meant to be destroyed .

That dear I don't know Tne same way I don't know how Christ walk on water or turn that water into wine But God said he will make all things a new and redeemed the while creation setting them free. How he will do it I don't know but we can always Trust God for His words. That is what makes Faith in Christ a unique and hard path.

I like your humility , but yet I know Jesus died for humans not animals . ( john 3:16 ) therefore the idea of redeeming animals through ressurection doesnt work with Jesus sacrifice . I know there is what the bible call RE - CREATION , new animals might be created though

Yes new animals will be created that will be void of diseases.

That's redemption. As they join in the glorious liberty of the Sons.

You can't tell me that animals God created in the garden that He saw and called good could also die of diseases.

As pointed out by captvator , They are to die and anything can cause their death/destruction , they are naturally born to be destoyed not live forever . ( 2 pet 2:12 )

Caught by humans not diseases.

BTW, animals before the fall were herbivorous not one was carnivorous. Gen 1:30.

So that should tell you something. cool

If destroyed by someone. As that scripture says. As Adam and Eve also could be destroyed.

The question you asked was why do they die. Implying natural causes.
Re: Why Do Animals Die ? by Princewell2012(m): 3:23pm On Sep 19, 2015
Yea, animals dies simply because they also partook of the sin of Adam.
Or did you think that Adam were eating those animals in the garden?







Check my thread, will animals also make it to paradise?
Re: Why Do Animals Die ? by Jeromejnr(m): 3:26pm On Sep 19, 2015
The whole point is:

Adam was given authority over the earth. All things were subject to him as he was the god of the world.

But when he fell, all things fell with him. As the devil used that authority to wreak all kinds of havoc on the earth.

Sicnesses, diseases all kinds of natural disasters were brought forth.

God in deut 28 called sickness a curse. If animals could be sick in the garden, why did God create them with a curse.

If the animals were supposed to be dying, why didn't God allow them eat each other in the garden? Why wasn't Adam and Eve eating meat only herbs?

Its simple logic.

Think before you speak.

Why do we have earthquakes and the rest?

Was it supposed to be like that if man didn't sin.

And God went on to say : let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds , domestic animals and moving animal and WILD beast of the earth according to its kind " Genesis 1:24 , which kind of animals are called wild beast , carnivorous or herbivorous ? Why is there teeth specially tailored to tear meat ?

Adam named a particular animal LION, its hebrew meaning refers to violence . Why would he give such a name if he hadnt studied its violent attitude ? He also name some birds like hawk in relation to their ability to catch prey .

Gen 1:30 said i give you plants as food ! Not a decree that only plant you must eat .

No 1. God says what He meant and meant what He says. Don't twist the scripture. He said all should eat herbs it was later after the fall He gave the permission to Noah and his family to eat meat.

No 2. You mention wild beast. Why don't you do a research yourself on google and see that wild beasts was never mentioned in the original Hebrew text.

That was added by the translator to point to the animals we know of today.
