The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum What exactly was meant that death came about due to Adam and Eve's sin

1. Your sarcasm will gain you nothing here.
2. Acts 17:28 simply understood is that in contradistinction to the pagan idols which the residents held as their gods and which Paul told them was nothing short of foolishness for these idols were made by men... the one true God created all things and rules sovereignly over ever facet of the lives of men. There is nothing whatsoever in the passage about pre-existent souls. To suggest such a thing is ridiculous.
3. As stated before along with links to my article(s) and others, salvation is NOT, to use Billy Graham's statement from his book How to be Born Again "God has done everything He can to save you. Now, it's up to you." Salvation is of the LORD (Jonah 2:9). It is ALL of grace and not of works, including the fantasy of man's "free-will" which makes God a servant of the creature and an idol of man's fallen nature and quest for autonomy.

That's all I shall say to you. And I withdraw and adopt jta's position that what is needed at this point is a clear understanding of the Gospel by you and prayer for your soul.
