ADAM was told that IN THE DAY that he ate... he would SURELY DIE -- Gen 2:17
He did NOT die a natural/physical death on "the day he ate"... so what kind of "death" did he die? I believe SPIRITUAL, and that the RESURRECTION in CHRIST, is about SPIRITUAL re-birth, not physical.
Adam's PHYSICAL death [second death] took place at 930th year of his life -- Gen 5:5
Hi Willie,
I know you believe this and you may be right, believe me I have considered this a lot. The only thing that makes me think it is the other way around is, first the physical, then the spiritual. Another thing is, Adam did die on that day, if as it says, "a day is as a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years as one day". Adam died before the 1000 years was up, or in that day.
Another thing I thought of was, if some won't be HURT of the second death then how can it be a physical death when everyone will experience it the same. What I mean is, everyone will die this physical death and death is death, dead. Don't know if I explained this worth a hoot or not? I am still studying this subject, so I am not 100% sure of anything yet, maybe you could give me some more pointers? I have read many different views on this. Maybe you could explain to me about being hurt by this death please?
