Do you believe we are in a greater or lesser estate because of their transgression? And thanks for responding.
I think the ultimate question is this:
Do you believe the Truth of what God has said in His Revealed Word?
You are among a number who have asked this question in one form or another. Thanks for responding.
Perhaps... the real question on the subject of the loosing Salvation is: "Why would one want to believe that you can lose Salvation"?
Here are a few thoughts upon why some may think it is possible:
1) They don't believe what God has promised.
2) They put to much reliance on self and not on Jesus Christ.
3) They err in "Works Salvation" and don't believe that Salvation is a gift of Grace.
4) They have witnessed church members "fall-away" and can't believe that they were never saved to begin with.
5) They were taught lies, contrary to Scripture and continue to see this subject through those glasses.
6) They need to believe that Salvation or the loss thereof, is in their hands.
7) They refuse to give God the Glory.
If I may, the answer to your question is well documented in the Scriptures. By our words and our actions - bring Glory to God.
I believe we are in hell on earth because of what they did. However, Jesus has provided us a way out and I am very thankful for His sacrifice.
Had Adam and Eve never sinned, would we have the Holy Spirit inside us? Would we have become partakers of the divine nature?
We would have been in Gods presence as Bible talks of him walking in the garden with Adam and Eve. I don't know how to answer a question really that I have no experience with because they did sin and all I know is the invisible God that I wish I could be in his presence and speak with him face to face but in this world, this life and in this mortal sinful body it is not possible other than contact with the invisible God.
We can be in God's presence now. And not just in the cool of the day. We have greater access because the Spirit lives within us.
We do possess a sin nature that wars against us but as long as God works all things to our good, this, too, is ultimately better.
