    What you call giving a body of dust, I call the separation of the male and female qualities (as explained in my op) which created a void in man. The first man Adam became a living soul (my op says so too) whose life depends on the life giving spirit, the word of God and subject to freedom...

    The first man Adam sinned and in turn planted the sinful seed in the human race who continued to nurture and grow this seed that yields the fruits of ungodliness and death. Jesus came, uprooted the sinful seed and planted the seed of righteousness in mankind. In the same way we have nurtured...

    I forgot to mention that I did not discuss about the makeup of the soul in my op otherwise, the aspect of the body would have been mentioned. How can we live on earth without earthly body? Man was not made that way as the scripture makes us understand.

    I saw where you quoted Gnosticism in one of my posts. You seem to be applying your understanding of their belief system to my op. if what they believe is what you have noted here, then, my belief is different and theirs is not compatible with what I have written in my op.

    "ForestGreenCook, posted Doesn't the scriptures say that Jesus was the only man without sin? Yes, the scriptures say so and I believe it. The first man Adam sinned and "planted" the seed of sin in human race. Ever since all have sinned and come short of the glory of God as it is...

    "posthuman, posted i hope it's clear that i agree man is not merely dust but a soul, quickened by the breath of the spirit of life. an hallmark of classical gnosticism is the teaching that the body is either (1) of no consequence or (2) evil or (3) some combination of bad & irrelevant. so...

    "Magenta, posted Are you saying Adam was incapable of sinning? Sin entered the world through one man: Adam. The Adam that was wholly Spirit - driven is incapable of sinning. If you notice in the garden of Eden, before Eve was made, Adam had a perfect relationship with God. Sin entered when...

    posthuman, posted God disagrees with you on this point. see Romans 8. we, and all of creation, eagerly await the final redemption of our bodies.
