Hanukkah is equivalent to Christmas.It seems as though our Lord's silence at
this time of the "Feast of Dedication" was
equally fitting a when Pilate asked "What
is truth?" He had opened the eyes of one who had been
blind from birth. They knew it and yet
refused to come to the true Light. Hanukkah is no different than the man made
Christmas celebration. There is only one
Light that has any significance in eternity. All who place any importance in these days
and then attached the name of Jesus to it
have failed to see that he does not endorse
such folly. |

“ Fantastic sermon. ”
As an excatholic I had detected an early stage in my conversion that the gospel preached at my Arminien church was nothing more then catholicism,in disguise.As every church I know teaches exactly the same doctrin I am now without a church,and to hear this sermon,only enforces my beliefs? Come out from her my people etc.Thank you Pastor for his boost to my faith in true doctrin. |

"But it is asked, what kind of death God means in this place? .....the definition of this death is to be sought from its opposite; we must remember from what kind of life man fell. He was, in every respect, happy; his life, therefore, had alike respect to his body and his soul, since in his soul a right judgment and a proper government of the affections prevailed, there also life reigned; in his body there was no defect, wherefore he was wholly free from death. His earthly life truly would have been temporal; yet he would have passed into heaven without death, and without injury. Death, therefore, is now a terror to us...
Hence the condition of man after his sin is not improperly called both the privation of life, and death. The miseries and evils both of soul and body, with which man is beset so long as he is on earth, are a kind of entrance into death, till death itself entirely absorbs him; for the Scripture everywhere calls those dead who, being oppressed by the tyranny of sin and Satan, breath nothing but their own destruction. The question is superfluous, how it was that God threatened death to Adam on the day in which he should touch the fruit, when he long deferred the punishment? Then was Adam consigned to death, and death began its reign in him" (John Calvin) |

a] I think you mean "immortal" spirit.b] I think you are confusing the soul with the spirit. The soul would continue on to hell. c] The "Spirit" of life is in Christ Jesus. d] Only those who are born of the Spirit will be with the Lord in heaven. a] No, my use of "mortal" was simply to denote origin.b] Both soul and spirit are immortal. c] The mortal has a spirit too. d] This is NT evangel - not really connected with the survey question. The terms soul and spirit as denotes man are virtually the same, thus both being immortal both may go to heaven or hell, as the case may be.

"The question is directly linked to how God intended: "...in the day that you eat, you shall surely die."" 1) Did they die physically in the same day that they ate? 2) Who lied? God or Satan? 1) No!
2) How about = Neither? To arrive at your answer you return to God's statement. But the survey is; Did the serpent lie? Eve did not physically or spiritually cease to exist.
The question based on Gen 3:4 relates to the immediate result of eating the fruit. Ergo she did not die.
Note also Satans remarks at v5 are borne out by the Lord at v22, so not all he says is untrue. |

Adam and Eve,
How did you know what death was when you were presented with the temptation to disobey? Since death had not entered creation before the curse, what would have been your perspective on "death" and its meaning? May I first ask you a question Christiana, If death had not entered before the curse as you put it; - Why was there a Tree of Life planted in the garden? (Gen 2:9) |

The disobedience brought about spiritual death, not consumption of a food item. The flesh profits nothing apart from the spiritual.
If spiritual death does not occur, then what does it mean to be "born again?" "born again" by implication of the words used means born twice, - as Jesus describes in John 3:5. Note that Jesus does not insist that we die first to be regenerated.In Eve's case she was spiritually alive then by sinning - entered the domain of sin known as "dead in sin" - we are not told whether she is "born again" The question then is, Did the serpent refer to spiritual death or physical death? Considering Gen 3.22 I submit that this is directed at Eve, in reference to physical death.
Spiritual death in this context is invalid since even if the body dies the spirit does not.
Thus the serpent refers to physical death in his temptation. The question is, Did he lie?
Eve went on to live till a ripe old age, therefore it was not a lie at this stage. As to Eve's spiritual life continuity as "born again" - we don't know. But we do know spiritual life does not end with physical life. Ergo...."Ye shall surely not die" - was correct. |

They died spiritually at the point that they ate of the forbidden fruit. God said, "In the day that you eat, you shall surely die." So, there was an immediate death to the relationship that Adam and Eve once enjoyed with God. Physical death came later. That would imply that physical food provides/denies spiritual life since....Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore IF God is referring to spiritual life here, (which clearly He is not), then the fruit of the Tree of Life would be providing spiritual life, - which it cannot. But it was the eternal life of the flesh which was why God denied access to the Tree of Life. "Spiritual death" is a metaphor for being in the domain of sin. But the spiritual life of the unsaved sinner does not die, - he goes to hell. |

Eve, please explain your answer. 1] The Tree of Life provides eternal life.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, AND LIVE FOR EVER:2] The serpent said "Ye shall not surely die" 3] But eternal life was only available via the Tree of Life. 4] Death then was inevitable anyway. 5] Unless they ate from the Tree of Life.
[Note also....
Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.(also Rev 22:2,14)] 6] Had the serpent said the opposite "Ye shall surely die" **UPON eating of the tree of good and evil** - That would have been a lie. 7] (A) They did not die immediately.
(B) They eventually died - BUT only by being denied access to the Tree of Life. |
