So they were created one of two ways. They
were either eternal with the ability to fall through disobedience -
OR they were created like us which is mortal
and dying as we live with access to the tree of
life?
More added words: you are setting up a strawman, Judy. Go back to
what has been said and see the distinction.
No strawman here
Bill.
When you add the word "dying" to our
words, Judy, you are setting up a strawman. God did not create a dying
people -- John did not say that, and neither did I. As long as A&W
were eating of the tree of life, there was no death in them whatsoever.
Hence, what we are saying -- or at least I am -- is that God created a
people with the potential to die. If you will accept this distinction, I
will be happy to continue our discussion. If not, then there is nothing to
discuss.
