I thought you may find this discussion interesting and profitable:
The more mature a man is the older he is. When corn gets too old, people say it is too mature.
But Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, NO ONE can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." So if Adam was not born, he could not be born again. So are you saying that Adam could not enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus speaks with perfection. What Jesus said is TRUE is every case, there is no exception, or it would not be totally true. What Jesus said can never ONCE fail. EVERY man must be born again. Therefore Adam must have been born, so that he could be born again. Jesus is just and full of mercy. Certainly we know that Adam could enter the Kingdom. So Adam had to be born, so that he could be born again. Find me in scripture where it says Adam was not born ! It is NOT there. You are assuming, that is not faith. We are to believe the scriptures, not the traditions of men.
You are making assumptions that are simply not in the scriptures. The scriptures interpret the scriptures. We know that Adam was born, so that he was able to be born again, like all men are given the opportunity to make peace with God.
Adam was never perfect. That is another false assumption made by many. Only God is perfect. Adam was given the opportunity to be perfect, by being given the opportunity to chose to obey God. BUT HE FAILED and sinned. Perfection can not fail. For if a bridge fails it was NOT perfect. Adam was created INNOCENT, that is the ability to chose to be righteous. Please dear brother, show me the scripture that says Adam was created perfect.
Adam was created in the IMAGE of God. I am a example of a man. But my photo is an image of a man, and not an example of a man at all. We are but an image of God, not God. He alone is perfect in all of His ways. We are all sinners worthy of eternal destruction. It is only by the perfect mercy and justice of the Lord Jesus, that we are able to be saved and be with Him forever.
Adam failed, did he not. Perfection can not fail. Certainly God is perfect. God can not fail. Adam failed, therefore he was not perfect.
