The point of what I have been saying is that God breathed His life, His breath into Adam.  And that is what he intended for all men.  God intended to take up an indwelling fellowship with man.

But with one requirement.  God would be God.  Man wouldn't.  The interesting thing is that Adam got to choose.  To obey God, or not.  But once Adam decided not to obey God, he could not turn back.  Innocence cannot be regained once it is lost.

Some people want to blame Eve, but God didn't give the requirement to Eve.  He gave it to Adam.

In the letter to the Romans, Paul says: "When Adam sinned, sin entered the entire human race.  His sin spread death throughout all the world, so everything began to grow old and die, for all sinned...For this one man, Adam, brought death to many...Adam's one sin brought the penalty of death...while Christ freely...gives glorious life instead."  Rom. 5:12-17

Adam was the father of modern man.  In the book of Luke, chapter 3, the linage of Jesus is traced  all the way back through the generations to Adam.  This is a remarkable piece of history that is recorded in the Bible.  You go through all the "begat's" and when you get to Adam, it says that he was the son of God.

We can also trace the timeline from Jesus back to Adam, because the Bible records the years that each ancestor lived and when the next in line was born.  It is an amazing historical record.  No other writings in the world can match the Bible.  They don't even come close.

Try reading it.  You don't have to do it all at once.  Little by little this habit will bless your life.
