he spoke to them also beforehand when they were made in Gods image Satan then deceived them from that .
In the beginning the darkness was already there , God caused light to shine and then said the light was good and seperate it from the darkness .
made man in his image of good “ light “ then Satan deceived man into disbelieving what God said about the fruit , this led man to believe satans lie and then the good and evil was entered into them . Do you see the correlation between thier knowledge and what word they believed and obeyed ?
man is designed tomooerate by what’s inside of us the spiritual part of us whatever is in the heart becomes the actions. Satan corrupted our core and that corrupted all we were given all the earth.
all because we believed satans lie and didn’t believe Gods truth. Our nature is based on what we believe and who we believe. Any man who believes Gods word will live it’s only a matter of hearing it .
we went from innocent by design in our heart and mind , to entertaining temptation which is that whisper and pull toward sin
A sinner operates like this and son brings death
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
James 1:12-15 KJV
Jesus taught us revelation of how to overcome temptation before it becomes sin and brings death
what James is saying is “our own lust is what draws us into temptation “ and that then gives birth to our sins it’s what the gospel teaches is why James is saying that our issue is embedded in our nature in our heart
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:21-23
So Gods law that brings repentance and freedom from that part of our nature is to put the lustful thinking aside and not allow it to fester . To fight that lie with the truth that lust leads to hell so we need to stop allowing it into our heart and mind because that’s where God dwells we can’t have lust in Gods home or deceit or hate anger and violence all
Of those things are rooted in that first transgression were offspring of two sinners
if you look at Cain and Abel you see Jesus parable about the enemy planting bad seed among the good Cain was evil by nature Abel was righteous by nature each was produced from the forbidden knowledge of good And evil. It sourced cains nature he had struggled with sin
As we do
“And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”
Genesis 4:6-8 KJV
Sin is a struggle man never should have been in but we are now because of the first transgression and freedom only comes from the gospel
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
John 8:31-32, 34-36
“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:17-18, 22-23
most never come to understand they are serving sin and are captives of the devil
So they can never acknowledge the truth and come to repentance because satans snare is deep within us in our heart and mind where his infiltrating knowledge corrupted us
“In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:25-26 KJV
but it’s hard for a sinner to acknowledge what’s happening at least it was for
Me but to Know that serving sin ( committing ) is serving the devils will opens eyes to repentance that’s why it’s hard to accept the gospel it tells truth and calls for

yes amen but they don’t know it because they haven’t heard the gospel that teaches them about it things like this don’t resonate because belief needs to be formed in the gospel in order to see the unseen things of faith . Satans worst nightmare is for Christians to simply believe the thkngs jesus told us to believe because that truth takes away his only power which is deception so his will is to hide the gospel from sinners because he knows the light will shine
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
2 Corinthians 4:3-4, 6, 18 KJV
We walk by faith in what he said is true when we can’t see it that is how the kingdom of God is you can’t believe it if you don’t hear it but if you hear it you have a choice to believe it and be saved . But belief has to be what he taught us to believe , not what people say to believe about the gospel but what he said applies to salvation.
that will lead us home to God for rose eternal things were promised ahead
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;”
2 Peter 3:13-15 KJV
what happens when we believe the gospel is not changes how we think how we operate inside changes our mind until we begin to accept Paul’s call
And think this way
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
that’s because Christ came to give us the right understanding in our nature to correct what Satan caused
“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:22-24 KJV
Believing the gospel is meant to shape our beliefs and nature into a reflection of Jesus christs morals and judgements which he himself spoke and said were the eternal Judgements of God for all to believe or reject
if we are willing to believe the gospel christs word is able to change us from within through the right understanding
Adams move in transgression caused the state of the world and man but Christ redeems us the same way by accepting the truth we repent of satans deception and therefore sin loses its grasp on our hearts by faith and that gives us power and life to walk upright
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:19-20
what he’s saying is the same thing Jesus had taught them
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
John 17:3 KJV
Imperative the scripture makes believing the gospel for that reason we can’t know him without that
“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”
Matthew 11:27 KJV
salvation is literally coming to know God through Christ and his gospel
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

our spirit is from God mankind’s living spirit . But the body was created from the material . Man is two
Parts a body with no life which God created from dust . And then a living spirit which came out from God
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.”
Genesis 2:7 KJV
so when we die we die those two elements seperate as they came together the body returns to the earth and the spirit returns to God
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
Ecclesiastes 12:7 KJV
the flesh is already separated from God because of sin
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”
1 Corinthians 15:50 KJV
The body is cut off but the soul can be saved through saving the spirit of a man and promising us a new body for our redeemed spirit
our spirit can never die because it is the source of life , so the spiritual death is what many call hell which isn’t actually hell but the lake of eternal fire that’s the death we can be saved from our bodies must die because of sin but we ourselves can be saved and given permanent bodies for our soul once were saved
we’re being saved from our dead body so we don’t die in it in the sins because of we do we have to be judged by every one without mercy but if we accept the gospel and are baptized for remission when our body dies our spirit goes to the lord rather than the grave to await judgement
permanent separation from God can happen if one ends up in the lake of fire but believers will never be seperated from him even when thier bodies die they will go to him to wait for the restoration of all thkngs rhat the Bible has foretold from the beginning
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:14-15 KJV
We can be saved from that death
Parts a body with no life which God created from dust . And then a living spirit which came out from God

So the human body of Jesus was the sacrifice for all souls, not for our physical bodies. I kept thinking every sin ever needed to be in Jesus, but maybe the sacrifice covered them all automatically. For it to matter for our souls, we have to open the door.
I didn't consider hell being a full separation, good point.

yes his death brother covers all sin even non believers it’s why only Jesus can forgive sin or impute sin , he died for all of it for all time.
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
1 John 2:1-2 KJV
See Jesus first appearance in earth was for that purpose to bear sin itself and take it away by his prophecied and foretold death for sin
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
John 1:29 KJV
because Jesus had no sin and gave his life for sin when he rose from the dead it meant this that judgement could now be put in motion and a day was appointed for Christ to judge who bought our souls from death
just because he paid for sins doesn’t mean we aren’t going to be judged we most certainly are but not by Moses law of sin anymore , by Jesus and his word of judgement
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Acts 17:30-31
Christ is coming two times once he bore the sins as the lamb of God and the. He will come with salvation to those who are still in the world and then the final wrath will be cut loose and produce the eternal Lake of fire firstly he was the stoning sacrifice for all sin , he warned and told us what is coming like he did with Noah and said it’s coming get ready . Then he will return with salvation for those still here believing
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
Hebrews 9:28 KJV
when someone ends up in the lake of fire it’s not going to be because they broke Moses law all already have it’s going to be because they rejected Christ and his judgement now in this life , so they then are judged by it at judgement day
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
John 12:48 KJV
but those who accept him and his judgements now are saved from that terrible fate
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”
John 5:24-25 KJV
judgement can be accepted and believed now so we can repent and come into obedience of the gospel and have all his promises. or rejected and then well Be in the other group and have nothing but that expectation of jidgement he stated for those who reject him and refuse his words because he is that judge appointed
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

Every believer in Christ, world-wide, receives a deposit of the holy Spirit prior to redemption. The holy Spirit is within every believer across the globe. This is one of many ways God is omnipresent and the way Christians are spiritually connected.
Ephesians 1:12-14
12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
