Curious is there any scripture saying God created man to have immortality
in the physical state as in living flesh from dirt?

"Then God said: Let us make man in our image, in our likeness" (Gen 1:26)

"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him"
(Gen 1:27)

yes the breath of life without it the human body is not life, I think the image of God is life in his likeness

Gen 2
7Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

the flesh of man was not created to live beyond the physical universe in my opinion, all souls go back to God.

I'm not sure what Weber is saying, or whether I agree with it,

That's quite alright. Nobody has to listen to me. I scarcely finished high
school; and thus far I'm neither accredited nor have a degree from
seminary. My only claim to fame is forty years an industrial welder before
retiring in 2006. I'll be the first to admit I'm just another armchair
theologian who plays around forums as a hobby rather than a mission field.


but one could infer that the tree of life indicates that God eventually wanted
mankind to enjoy eternal life.

Immortality and eternal life are not the same.

The first speaks of a body that's impervious to death, decay, and the aging
process. For example: Moses' people all eventually died because the manna
couldn't prevent the vigor of their bodies from waning no matter how much
or how often they ate the stuff. The reason is that they were all mortal
rather than immortal.

The latter speaks of something that always was, always is, and always shall
be. Seeing as how humans are a created species-- viz: humans had a
beginning --then of course no matter how long humans survive, whether one
day or forever, it can never be said of them that humans are eternal.

Fears are more than warranted, I really do not think you understand the scope of this problem.

Wrong.... Talk to an epidemiologist who study the numbers .. the numbers increase at an exponential rate... Trump should have done more at the start ...he hemmed and hawed and now there are probably 100 000 infections if not more.

Do you know that there is typically one ventilator for every 100 000 people .... tell me when the hospitals are over run this Covid 19 who is going to treat the person with the heart attack.

The USA is in the worst possible situation because of lack of action.... look at Italy same problem... the predictions for the US is on the same trajectory.
Done more?
Like what?

Lol.
Just the opposite. Take a look at this article from TIME:
"“The current U.S. policy to deny visas to travelers from China and to quarantine returning Americans is not the right approach,” Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist and expert in disease outbreak detection and response at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, testified to Congress on February 5. “I am deeply concerned that these measures will make us less safe by diverting public health resources from higher priority disease mitigation approaches.”
Trump acted right away.
Trumps action was awesome and decisive.
Libs at TIME: "but,but,but...."

You would be absolutely wrong here.

As well "undermine Trump".. now that is funny.... all things and everything a conspiracy against him.:D
According to CDC in the US for the 2019-2020 flu season to date there have been 19 million reported cases resulting in over 10,000 deaths. In relative terms the medical impact for the coronavirus strain, is many times less deadly and with far fewer cases of reported illness.

that's true

but as it seems just about everything is being cancelled, we might all be safer from any virus

of course Mexico threw a giant music festival to celebrate the contagion saying the wall is to keep the US out

the perversity of some mentalities is beyond comprehension and I don't mean only party goers

that is interesting, if we look at all the contagious diseases as a whole across the earth, since January 2020 there have been 2,690,710 Communicable disease deaths this year

of that about 7,131 from the corona virus, so as the numbers stand it more likely that a person will die from other communicable disease rather than the corona disease. death is not that big of a concern considering the sheer numbers of overall death from a contagious disease.

on the flu in 04 80,000 died from the flu the yearly average is about 50,000

You are at the start of the problem ...H1N1 infected 60 000 million in the USA..in 2008 I believe.... this is far more virulent.

I am only telling what I know up to you to pay attention... older people need to stay home

If think you take a closer look his actions you will see they were not decisive enough...
Probably hoping to spare the economy unfortunately the economy is already broken.

Decisive action.... Canada, Japan, South Korea
Taiwan

Any epidemiologist or anyone with an understanding of calculus knows that the numbers do not lie so whoever she is ....she must have fake credentials.

If COVID-19 was more virulent than flu, that would be reflected in the fatality rates also. But as a matter of fact it has far less impact. However, the media are using this for all it is worth to create panic. And China is mocking the West for *surrendering* to coronavirus, while accusing the US of creating this bio-weapon (which of course is total nonsense).

The issue is not the panic, this issue is the toll this virus will take on the health care system and the economy,
And China's draconian measures actually did help.

I have doctors in the family and have had lengthy discussions on this with them and the flu death rate is 1% when the medical system is at capacity .. you factor an overwhelmed health care system and this a recipe for disaster.
Epidemiologist have done the math... this increase is exponential, basic calculus has shown this in studies so far.

You best learn the left and the right are in this together and there no saviours here except for the one true one Jesus.
But the virus is real and it is meant to cause real damage, and I do not know your age but I know your are Canadian.... best thing you can do is stay home.

Scientists working for the Peoples Republic of China created this virus in their Labs...……...Now, one can argue IF God created it through them, or ordained it, or some such, BUT let's put the blame where it belongs.

Not even up for debate. All the evidence found reveals who created it and where it was created. The REAL question is WHY?

so when he closed all traffic from China, the dems were like 'you are crazy, he is over reacting, we don't need to do that etc etc

and now he is not decisive enough

fake credentials

let's see yours ;)
