God declared it "very good" at the conclusion of Genesis chapter 1. Romans 8:20-21 says, "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God." Creation has had this problem ever since the fall.<br /><br />The Romans 5 passage does refer to man's death, but taken with Romans 8 I believe that all death is a consequence of sin.<br /><br />Death is never spoken of as good in scripture. It is not part of this world as God intended it. It will not be a part after Christ returns.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-7279000202480707702012-09-01T15:20:44.075-04:002012-09-01T15:20:44.075-04:00Hey Eric,
I can definitely see your point here. ...Hey Eric, <br /><br />I can definitely see your point here. I guess I have a couple questions (non-sarcastic tone). One, do you think that it matters if plants died before the fall, and two, doesn't it seem like the passage in Romans is only referring to death coming to <i>man</i> through the fall?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.akingdomfamily.com/johns-blog" rel="nofollow">John</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
