Romans 5:12-13
God is talking about spiritual death... the serpent is very subtle... it attacks adam and eve kung saan sila mahina - physical and human pride. Pleasant in the eyes and will make them wise.
No, Romans 5 is different. It's about the effect of the the fall of man. It does not discuss how Adam understood God when he was warned about the forbidden fruit.
The result of the fall of man was both spiritual and physical death, but the resulting spiritual death was not clarified by God as part of His warning to Adam.
God's only warning was, "in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
After Adam sinned, sana sinabi ng Diyos kay Adan, "Do you remember what I said about you dying on the same day? I meant spiritual death." Pero wala namang sinabi ang Diyos na ganon.
Instead, God cursed Adam to "
return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." Since physical death was the warning, then physical death was the penalty.
But religious pastors can't explain why Adam did not die physically on the same day that he ate the fruit, that's why they say Adam died only spiritually and not physically. E di lusot na. Hindi niya kasi kayang ipaliwanag, e ...
Which brings us back to the original question. If on the day he eats the fruit, Adam would surely die physically, why did he continue living for many more years?
The key is accurate translation. Here's the rendition from YLT (Young's Literal Translation):
