Greetings Brian and all who love the Lord Jesus Christ,
<<< I just can't see God creating Adam anything less than we the re-created Adams of the world.. >>>
1Cor 15:45." So also it is written, " The first man , Adam, became a living soul", The " last "
Adam ( Jesus ) became a life giving spirit. Under this new Covenant we believers are NOW
the " temple of the Holy Spirit.
1 Cor.3:16, " Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you
Ezek. 36 :26-27, " Moreover I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh, and I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will be carefull to observe my ordinances.
Except for a few in the Old Covenant, the people of God ( Israel ) were not partakers of the Divine Nature such as we are now. One of the main reasons I believe that God us given us this " Eternal Life " is that all that we have in Adam has been dealt the death blow at Calvary. God will not and cannot recognize anything that originates from the " old creation ". Our challenge is to learn to hear , heed and follow this Divine Life daily as God conforms us to the image of His Son.
<<< I just can't see God creating Adam anything less than we the re-created Adams of the world..>>>
He hasn't created anything less…………………He has created so much more, We have His own Divine Life.
With our discussion about the name of Adams helper, we are splitting hairs here, we both compliment the Word of God.
I trust this helps some in what I believe the scriptures declare to us. May Almighty God show you His truth in what we have discussed and protect you from any thing I might have said originating from my " flesh ", Robert |
