When Adam and Eve Sinned...?

We are all living, breathing souls and that includes animals. A soul is who you are as a person. When you die your body goes back to the ground. The spirit from God which enabled you to be alive then returns to God.

When Adam and Eve sinned they did not die that moment but their life was cut short. They would have lived forever and none of us would be in the state we are in now but they decided they wanted to rule themselves. Sounds familiar to our day, doesn't it?

We do have hope for those paradise conditions to return to earth once again. We must prove ourselves worthy of that prize. Ps. 37:10, 11, Mt. 6:10, Rev. 21:1-5

This is taken from an article...Do You Have an Immortal Soul?

Is “soul” a part of man that separates from the body at death and goes on living? According to the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary, “often the soul is equated with the total person.” For instance, Genesis 2:7 states: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” The first man, Adam, was a soul.

The understanding that the word “soul” can mean the whole person is supported by other scriptures. For example, the Bible speaks of a soul’s doing work. (Leviticus 23:30) The soul is spoken of as being impatient, irritated, sleepless, fearful, and depressed. (Judges 16:16; Job 19:2; Psalm 119:28; Acts 2:43; 1 Thessalonians 5:14) Referring to a soul as a person, Romans 13:1 states: “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.”

The Bible states: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) The distressed prophet Elijah “began to ask that his soul might die.” (1 Kings 19:4) Likewise, Jonah “kept asking that his soul might die.” (Jonah 4:8) Yes, the soul dies when the person dies; it is not immortal. Since a person is a soul, to say that someone died is to say that his soul died.

Edit: I forgot to share this very nice quote with you that I found yesterday. See what you think...

"All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible. "

George Santayana

a spirit

I think the passage actually refers to the birth of consciousness or self awareness, and morality. It may be an indication that self awareness continues after death, leaving us 'stuck' to an eternity of nothingness.

I ares had hundreds of bones and I are never found a soul in any of thems.

because the physical body will die if we sin

the physical death is not immediate

it will happen though

Ezekiel 18:4

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

the soul in the bible is the living breathing person

the spirit in the bible is what we use today as our soul a eternal spirit

the bible also calls hell the second death

its not a death of ceasing to exist
