NUMBER 2
NO DEATH BEFORE ADAM
Is it an important question to ask was death in the world before Adam? The Bible says there was no death in the world before Adam. Is the Bible true? Are you going to the Bible with the preconception in your mind that there was death in the world before Adam, and that the universe is millions or billions or trillions of years old? Can we take the Bible seriously?
If the Bible is part truth and part error, which parts are true and which parts error? We would have to be omniscient to decide. Would an omniscient all wise and loving God give us a Bible that the dumbest of us could not understand? Would it be necessary to have a doctorate in theology before God’s meaning could be deciphered?
If the Bible is part truth and part error, what about the part that says He created all things from nothing in six days? What about the part that says Adam was the first man, and Eve was made from Adam’s side, and the part that says Eve was the first woman, and the mother of all living? What about the part that says we need a savior and Jesus is the savior? How can we believe one part and not believe another part?
What does the Bible say about death not being in the world before Adam?
Romans 5:12 “Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned:”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Corinthians 15:21,22 “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
Adam was created by God on Day 6 and then at the close of Day 6 the Bible tells us in Genesis 1:31 “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” So, if there was no death before Adam, and God pronounced his creation as very good, it is not possible that Adam could have evolved by means of millions of years of death before he was created. Evolution says Adam came through death; Genesis says death came through Adam. Therefore, if evolution were true, the Bible would be false.
Evolution is not science, but only an atheistic religion that tries to prove the origin of all things without God the Creator. Also, remember if death did not come through Adam's disobedience, then the whole reason for Christ the Creator to come and die for Adam’s sin, to redeem man and pay the penalty through justice being served, is erased. Evolution, even theistic evolution as taught by most Christian seminaries would make the death of Christ on the cross meaningless. Atheistic evolutionists know this very clearly. Theistic evolutionists who imagine God used evolution, do not understand this.
We are teaching this religion of evolution, this death before Adam to young people in school, where it is illegal to teach religion, and doing it with tax money.
Is it difficult to understand the increasing crime and lawlessness in our country today, when the population is being taught they are only evolved animals that originated by natural random chance processes, for no purpose, from primordial slime?
Remember the purpose of these Creation Science Messages is to strengthen your faith, remove evolutionary thinking from the church, and restore the authority of the word of God.
