    What is FT's point anyway ? That Adam became truly alive by turning to sin ?

    I know, and I know where he probably heard it put that way.

    (But, I'm glad that you agree with me.)



    It wasn't a hill I was willing to die on, but he was factually inaccurate.

    It is just a "ditty".

    Yeah, I can't remember exactly who said it, but it was one of 'them' that we would be familiar with.

    Pretty sure it was Copeland, who FT now disavows.

    No, you gotta pay attention... Adam was alive, committed sin, and then because separated from God which is what death is.

    So, Adam became dead by turning to sin.

    Early Copeland had some pretty good stuff that was Bible based... now he is into the pope.

    It's one of those comments that sounds spiritual but is really non-sensical and unscriptural

    GIMJ explained it in post 16

    How is that being "born-again"?

    Being born is to begin to live, to be made alive, to give life

    We are "made alive together with Christ"


    Death is the absence of life.

    Adam was created by God, he disobeyed and then he died spiritually.

    Being born and dying are two different things, and are polar opposites.

    So, your saying that Adam sinned... and did not die?

    It is scriptural that Adam died... that cannot be disputed.

    He was alive and he became dead. He was in fellowship with God, and became out of fellowship with God.

    This is basic, simple understanding of how mankind got into the condition it is in... separated from God and in need of a Savior.

    He's saying he wasn't 'born again' in reverse so to speak. My post above:

    Well, technically Adam wasn't really 'born again' from life to death because we never refer to death as a 'birth' (born). We always speak of going from life to death as death, dying, etc, not 'born'. Having said that, I 'get' what FT is saying. Is just not really accurate in how we use the English language, or in any body else language for that matter. As I said we never refer to one dying as a 'birth/born'.

    I get what you are saying when you say Adam was the first 'born again' man going from life to death, but in the way we use our language, we never use 'born' or 'birth' in regards to death.
