Dear Prim. It is NOT Ephesians 5;12. It is Romans 5:12. Thank so much for asking me.And finally after a nice warm glass of full cream milk I feel much stimulated to write again Major I be much curious about something very perplexing to me . You say the dinosaur ones be dead long time due to death 66 million yrs ago . But the bible say death was a curse pronounced solely upon Adam & Eve Ephesians 5:12 say ( Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: And so death passed upon all men for that all sinned. ) and the Romans 8: 22 does also state that the entire creation be under the curse of a fallen world and does groaneth very much in pain for the appointed time of renewal. Major I’m some very much confused Are we to conclude that death is merely a normality from past civilianisation and not unique to Adam & Eve ?. I still not fully understanding to what you mean
In this Scripture, Paul states that sin came into the world through one man. This one man is Adam, the first man created from dust by God Himself (Genesis 1:27). God breathed life into Adam and placed him in the garden of Eden with only one restriction: Don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:15–17). Adam, along with his wife, Eve did exactly what they were told not to, and sin entered the world.
The root of your question rests in the world "world,"---in this context, it is specifically a reference to humanity.
The Bible only focuses on mans relationship to God and animals are never in question whether it be life or death.
What's clear from Paul's argument here is that death followed MANS sin, as God said it would.
Romans 8:22 again we see that CONTEXTUALLY it refers to HUMANITY.
