Great reply Jovaro...your point is well taken.
I'm wondering just how much different, though, life was before sin entered the world. Did things have to die to give life to another? Was the laws of nature different before sin? There is some thought that proposes for example that the Earth itself changed its polarity as well as the direction it now rotates after Noah's flood. It's as though creation itself was put in reverse of its original purpose. Much like Hell being the opposite direction from Heaven.
You see...Jesus himself was born under a law in order that he might suffer death. He grew older; his skin cells had to be recycled (a type of death to give life); he even died to give us life. When he ressurected from Calvary laws changed for him. He now was reborn (the firstborn from the dead) above the laws that Adam fell under and caused us to be born under. He will not die anymore. He now, as Adam once did, lives above all principalities and powers.
I wonder, was Jesus referring to this when he said behold, I make all things new when heading to Calvary. Could it be that the reason creation itself groans to be delivered (waiting for the Sons Of God) would also fall into this category. Things use to be different for them. It was different for Adam. Adam, before sin, never had to work by the sweat of his brow. He worked by the power of his word (when he spoke...it was so).
God hates death. That is...death as we know it. So I'm wondering...is death, today in nature, different than it was before the sin of Lucifer, Adam and Eve?
It's also interesting to note that when Adam sinned the Sonship of God escaped him. It was only after God came in flesh to meet John the Baptist at river Jordan that we hear the Lord refer to Himself by saying "this is my Son"...as though there were no Sons of God. Another example..."For God so loved the world that He gave His "only" begotten Son". And another where He says "now ye are the Sons of God" before his ascension...which is what happens when one is born again.
Again all inputs are welcomed and asked for.
Thanks Jovaro
