The Pauline Paradox

[Ben Masada]

Genesis 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

And you see from here that Adam died twice! For heaven's sake Jamie! Was that for the laughs or for the gags?

 

[jamie]

And you see from here that Adam died twice!

That's what it says.

Genesis 2:17 מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת׃

 

[Ben Masada]

That's what it says.

Genesis 2:17 מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת׃

No Jamie, this has nothing to do with dying twice; and I don't think that any one of your fellow Christians will see the way you do. To die twice is possible only in the NT if you read about Lazarus, the brother-in-law of Jesus.

I gave you the Hebrew but you still don't believe it.

That's all I can do.

I gave you the Hebrew but you still don't believe it.

That's all I can do.

The expression in Hebrew means only certainty as in "You will surely die." Nothing to do with dying twice.

Is that why you are too hard to understand instructions? Sorry, but you can't have your way not matter what.
