Greetings Brian and all who love the Lord Jesus Christ, I still plan to address our previous discussion as I had promised but I am not quite ready. I would like to briefly comment on your response as shown, <<< That snake of old told Eve ( she was still called Adam at the time and had not yet fallen into "independent" thinking so-called. ) that she could eat and not die >>> Prior to the Fall of man Adams helper was called " Woman " denoting of who " she was ". It was after the Fall of Man she was called Eve, denoting of what " she did " ( Gen 3:20 ). <<< Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likenes and let them have dominion over ...>>> God is a Spirit and man was made in His Image as a spirit being. According to 1Thess.5:23., " Now may the God of peace Himself santify you entirely, and may your spirit , soul and body be preserved complete..............>>>. Man is tri-partite, spirit , soul and body. When God breathed into man the breathe of life, it was mans " spirit " ( Not Holy Spirit )that was given to man. When this spirit came into contact with his body , the dust of the ground, mans soul was produced. The breathe of life became mans spirit. We must be carefull not to confuse the Holy Spirit and mans spirit. Romans 8 :16 states thier differences, " it is the Spirit ( God )Himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are the Children of God. ". This breath of life we receive gives us life , Job 33:4 " and the breath of the Almighty gives me life ". Must go for supper Brian , will hopefully talk with you later. Grace and peace be unto you and your family. Robert |
