This can go either way, but I'd appreciate it if you would first answer my question...
"
So are you saying Adam did not introduce sin/death into the created order? Death was here previous to Adam's sin?
(
Rom 5:12) Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— "
One indication of there being no death before Adam's transgression is...
(Rom 8:20) For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
(Rom 8:21) that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
(Rom 8:22) For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
(Rom 8:23) And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
