What Does It mean To be "In Adam?"

[webdog]

Too much speculation here.
"Adam would not have died"???
Adam would have lived eternally, perhaps--only if he had partaken of the fruit of the tree of life. There is nothing in the account that says for sure that they would have eaten of that fruit and lived forever. We can't read back into history and conjecture that which could have been.

Death entered the world through sin. Adam was not created with sin, hence he was not created to die. It's really not speculation but what the Bible says.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but please let me say this. I don't know about this you posted, Brother. What is the penalty for sin? Death. So if Adam had not sinned, then how could he have died?? Just sayin'......

I am simply saying we can't speculate too much. It seems to me that the only way they could have lived forever was to partake of the fruit of the tree of life.

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (Genesis 3:22)
--That is what I learn from Scripture.

Webdog, why don't you study before you speak? You are misleading your brothers. You may not care, but God does. Why not study, and learn what He is teaching you before spouting off in this dogmatic way?

EVERY WORD OF GOD'S IS INFINTELY OR IMMENSELY IMPORTANT!!!!

Christ was not under the curse of sin, this is the entire doctrine of the virgin birth. Why do YOU say that the Holy Spirit had to concieve a child? Why is it that Christ(The creator of the universe), had to "Learn obedience"?

Why don't you study, take years to learn these things before opening your [ offensive language edited ]? Even the Scribles KNEW these things even if they couldn't relate, you don't seem to understand or relate.

Christ was not under the curse? How was He able to die physicaly...and what does Galatians 3:13 say?

I've been a believer for 32 years, btw. Not saying I'm the most learned Bible student, but strive for truth.
