Well I base my beliefs on something very different. You see, God told Adam he would die if he ate the forbidden fruit, he didn't say "it's fine if you die, as long as you feed your soul now".
Dear Readers, The LORD told Adam that he would surely die "in the day", he disobeyed:
Gen. 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Satan told Eve:
Gen. 4:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Adam did NOT die within 24 hours and he lived for 930 years after he sinned. Gen. 5:3 Can you tell us if the LORD told Adam the Truth or was it Satan? The answer is simple:
Adam did die "in the Day" he disobeyed because Today remains the 6th Day. The LORD did NOT lie to Adam but Satan did, for Adam (mankind), or every other human, does die on the present 6th Day. It is PROOF that a day is NOT just 24 hours.
In Love,
Aman
The bible says that a thousand years is but a day to the Lord. Therefore Adam had up until 1000 years before he had to die. He made it to 930, Eve even longer. God didn't say if it would be a Heavenly day, or an Earthly day that death would befall Adam.
The New Jerusalem descends from heaven to the earth- where it will be throughout eternity.
Dear pg, Not so. New Jerusalem is in the New Earth of Rev. 21:1. The New Jerusalem will descend into the THIRD Heaven, since our world is going to be Burned. ll Peter 3:10 New Jerusalem could NOT be throughout Eternity here, for our world will NOT be here.
Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for us and Paul went to the 3rd Heaven, the New Heaven. What is your concept of the 3rd Heaven?pg:>>The concept of 'going to heaven when I die' is unscriptural. It is a pagan concept expressed in Buddhism (Nirvana) that was appropriated by the catholic 'church' and mixed in as leaven.
In Love,
Aman
I agree, it wasn't until Jesus died that the dead could go to Heaven, but some elected did I believe. I think Enoch and Moses are two such cases.
Makes sense, but of course it could be any two people alive at the time who are chosen.
Well in answer to your question, NO I do not think a human can live that long NOW. However, I do believe that the very first human probably could have. Perfect genes, perfect air to breath and higher oxygen content, no diseases yet formed to attack humans, no pesticides, no nuclear testing etc etc.
What's a "spirit?"
