then he does not ever really die at all- his form of existance just changes, then Satan did not lie after all when he told Adam and Eve that they would NOT die. And what is the point of a ressurection if you never really die?

Gen 3: 4 "You will not surely die..." where Eve was told she would not die.

hmmm, can you write on recycled paper? How many times can you recycle that same sheet of paper before it becomes useless. "Resurrection" may be more aptly termed "Graduation", in that we may never be recycled again and rejoin the Creative Force that started it all!

There existance as they knew it ended, they died, they were seperated from their parent, creator. They were given the knowledge of good and evil and the will to do either, which they didn't have before, this is not a gift..God as any parent would was protecting them until He felt would have been the right time maybe to explain it to them but they chose to find out for themselves so God allowed what they had chosen...
Just because some say we become spirits instantly doesn't mean we do...we need to die to find out right, some say we come back to earth many times to perfect our spiritual experience or to experience things for God...what do you think.

according to God .. we are made in His Image and He is Spirit..so that means we are spirit as well. He also says He knows us before we are formed in the womb.
Before you go into some tizzy about repeating lives.. or being born a grasshopper or something.. stop. That is NOT scriptural ... and is not necessary... so it does not happen.
We do not change.. because we are spirits. All that happens is that we shed the flesh and then go to God. The flesh is needed so we can learn our own weaknesses as well as those of others.. and our strengths as well as those of others..plus the learning of right from wrong from the ONLY One who does not sin . WE are the children. Not God.

In the beginning, God simply formed that body out of the dust. It was all there but it was not alive. The heart was there, it wasn't beating. The blood was there, it wasn't flowing. The brain was there, it wasn't thinking. And then, the Bible says, that God put His breath into that body. He did not put a soul in. He put in the breath and the text says, "man became a living soul." Now I hope you'll remember this, friends. When death comes, that breath returns to God. We found out that the spirit and the breath are the same thing. Whatever God gave, now it returns, and it's called "breath" in one text and "spirit" in another, but they are one and the same thing! The spirit returns to God and the body returns to the dust as it was, and so the life ends right there.

Satan did not say they would not die. He only said they would be like Gods. WHich was a lie, because we can never be as wise as strong as pure as God.
