I don't think Adam was immortal either. The tree of life was probably able to sustain life longer than any other tree, nurturing the thymus gland more efficiently increase its active state. It's ability to train young T cells ends now a days at 18, boot camp is over at that age.

Shalom, BeyondET.

Actually, Adam WAS immortal, but they were not yet incorruptible.

Neither tree had "magical powers." BOTH trees were given names that were symbolic of their functions, and the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" was even named ironically.

The tree of life was a tree with MEDICINAL value. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was named BECAUSE it would be forbidden. Before, the tree's fruit was eaten, Adam was good, they were innocent, because they were obeying God's command. AFTER he and his "woman" ate from the tree, they had done evil for the first time. Now, their deeds were evil and God was still good! There was a difference that could be known, and they knew it because they instantly had a conscience and the guilt drove them to cover themselves with what they had available - the fig leaves.

It was a CONTEST! They were to eat of every other tree in the garden, but not to eat of the one tree. Nothing is said about the location of the tree of life, but they would have "stumbled upon" it eventually had they continued to obey God. After all, there were only so many trees in the garden, even if they had a great variety from which to choose!

So, when they LOST the contest, God stepped in to assure that they would NOT eat from the tree that could have healed their bodies in their lost state, preserving their lives for millennia, EXTENDING the pain and suffering!

When God asked Adam his questions, He already KNEW the answers, but He had to make sure that Adam knew as well. They had to admit to their guilt and they had to suffer the consequences of their actions. Only then could they experience remorse and contrition and be ones for whom God would atone. They had first to understand godly sorrow and repentance and come to God out of the shadows where they were hidden.

In the curse, they instantly BECAME mortal - able to die. Now, they were both mortal and corruptible - able to decay.

You said in the post I quoted Adam didn't sin until 930. If Cain killed Abel isn't that a sin?

No, I didn't say that.  I said Adam's death was 930 years AFTER his rebellion/sin.

Adam DIED at 930.  His first sin was 930 years before that.

My point was that we don't know actually how long Adam lived BEFORE his first sin.

Yes you did but if you meant something else I'm all ears.

Your statement below quoted

"I believe that Adam's age (930 yrs) was based on when he sinned,"

Adam physically died at 930, did he have all his children in that year?

Genesis 5:3-27

When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son who was like him, and he named him Seth. After that, Adam lived another 800 years. He had other children and died at the age of 930.

I NEVER said Adam sinned at 930 years.  I was clear enough.  The age at which Adam died was based on when he first sinned.  Which was 930 years BEFORE he died.

Some think the 930 years was from when he was created, but that can't be accurate.

It wasn't clear but I think I get what your saying that Adam sinned 930 years before he died is that what you meant?

Yes.  He lived for 930 years after eating the forbidden fruit.  Some people think that Adam lived 930 years after being created in Gen 2:7.  But, the Bible doesn't indicate how long he lived before he ate the fruit.  Could have been thousands of years.

Did Adam have children after eating of the fruit, if so then the bible mentions Seth being born when Adam was a 130 years old not 3130 years old.

Adam had no children before his sin.  Or they would have been born without a sinful nature and wouldn't have needed a Savior.

I don't see where 3130 years comes from.  

I believe that all the mentions of Adam's age are AFTER his sin.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
