Was there death in the world before Adam and Eve sinned?

Answered by . October 15, 2011 - 10:29 pm

There are millions of years of fossils showing that death was around long before Adam and Eve. In any case, it is impossible to have life without death. Anything eating plants would be causing the death of tiny animals necessary for plant life, not to mention the death of plants themselves. Then there are the […]

How old was Adam when he was evicted from Eden?

Answered by . February 20, 2011 - 7:32 pm

The Bible does not say. Adam’s eviction from Eden could have been as little as a few days after his creation, to over a hundred years. He must have been less than 130 years old because Seth was born after Adam had lived 130 years (Genesis 5:3), and Adam had already had at least two […]

Does Genesis 2:5-9 contradict Genesis 1?

Islam teaches that Adam was ~27.5 metres (90 feet) tall (see hadiths narrated by Abu Huraira [Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. […]

Answered by . July 8, 2010 - 7:09 am

The simple answer is that we are not, but as usual there is more to it than that! In the most straight forward sense we are punished for our own sin: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3 v 23 So we are each responsible for our own […]

Will Adam and Eve be raised to everlasting life?

Answered by . May 8, 2010 - 11:05 pm 4

The Bible doesn’t tell us whether Adam and Eve will be raised to eternal life. It’s possible; God tells us that if you repent, you’ll be forgiven. For instance: Again, when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he shall save his life. Because […]
