Adam had Spiritual life He received his spirit when God breathe the breath of life in to his body.. There is no evidence that his spirit died when he sinned. Afterwards Adam had no inability to speak with God In fact he built an alter and placed a sacrifice on it. So did his sons Cain and Able. God was pleased with Ables sacrifice but not Cains.. It's odd isn't that none of the first family had any problems talking with God. So much for the nonsense of an inability.Now that the previous thread was closed down, want to attempt to show that this passage by Paul does not directly address the issue if Adam had spiritual life before the fall or not!
Adam had speiruallife from God when created, as was with a sinless human nature, so relationship with God, but he sinned and took on a corrupted sin nature, and he died to relationship with God then! That is why after, not before the fall, he needed a Messiah to restore him back to God!Adam had Spiritual life He received his spirit when God breathe the breath of life in to his body..

I don't believe so until we sin. Our sin is what causes separation from God I don't believe in inherited sin. If you think about it Adam wasn't separated from God right away. Because God and Adam spoke with each other in the garden right after he sinned There was no inability to speak and hear God. Even Adam's son Cain spoke with God and from what I read indicates that Cain had no respect for God and God sent him away. Regardless Cain had no inability either.Adam had speiruallife from God when created, as was with a sinless human nature, so relationship with God, but he sinned and took on a corrupted sin nature, and he died to relationship with God then!

Are we born with sin natures?
the only reason they kept a relationship with god was due to the truth that God had provided to com e the lamb of God, but all of us save Jesus have sin natures, as Jesus needed the Virgin Birth to avoid getting nature like ours!I don't believe so until we sin.
