If Adam and Eve had never sinned, the Scriptures teach that they never would have died. When Satan targeted Eve and Adam to become sinners, Satan knew that mankind would NOT continue to have everlasting life. Thus Satan is really to blame for every human death that has ever occured.
(Genesis 2:16,17) Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die."
(Genesis 3:1) Now the serpent... began to say to the woman: "Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?"
(Romans 5:12) Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin
Jehovah is eager to undue everything that the Devil has done, and Jehovah has assigned Jesus Christ to perform this restoration. It will be accomplished soon.
(1 John 3:8) The Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil.
(1 Corinthians 15:21) For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man.
Those who do not believe that the earth will be restored to Edenic paradise conditions seem too-quick to believe that a lowly creature (such as Satan) could actually CHANGE the divine purposes of Almighty Jehovah God. Jehovah put mankind in paradise earth, and Jehovah will make sure that mankind lives forever in paradise earth, despite a delay which will shorter and shorter as human lifetimes extend toward infinity.
(Isaiah 65:17-25) For here I am creating new heavens and a new EARTH; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart. ...21 And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. ...25 The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull [caps added]
(Revelation 21:1-4) And I saw a new heaven and a new EARTH; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. ...Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. [caps added]
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'

God's promise to people willingly submissive to His rule. Interestingly, meek does not mean without backbone or unable to stand up for your beliefs. It would be amazingly stupid for people to assume they could continue bullying such meek ones. A little leeway maybe given out of respect, but that should not be considered constant either by the meek or by God.

The Sermon on the Mount replaced into needless to say addressed to the Jews for the Jews and worded in a fashion the Jews could draw close surely. The bible account is obvious approximately who have been amassed their on those hills in Galilee. Jews all of them. no longer Christians, no longer Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics or every person different than Jews. it particularly is Jesus be conscious options that make the sermon so efficient to his listeners, You asked: "Why do godless human beings attempt to respond to a query approximately God? And why do godless human beings attempt to respond to a query approximately Jesus while they declare he did no longer exist? Oh, and contained in the approach, fail to respond to the question?" because of the fact some individuals are no longer confident yet. does not believing the bible to be the interest of God, negate that is fee as a a possibility source of historic interest? somebody very clever wrote or pronounced those words on that mountainside 1000's of years in the past. Does the actuality that i ought to question the paranormal claims of starting to be from the ineffective, healing, and being the God on the earth, replace my opinion of the words he expressed. No it does not. So I stay attracted to what human beings such as you peacelilly, 360, Annsan, talk Boldly, and a few others (sorry ought to no longer pull up the avatars/names on the 2nd) ought to declare. I examine and evaluate all evidence, it particularly is the only precise factor to do. in any different case i could ought to call myself an atheist, I nevertheless evaluate myself agnostic, so consistent with possibility there continues to be desire for me.????

Those that continually steal, kill, and wipe out others to take over the earth, and reject Jesus, lose it in the end.
Those that believe in Jesus, that He is God, and that He died for our sins on the cross and rose again, and let the Lord handle things, are the meek, and inherit all things.
