Life or Death

      Man is born, but cannot escape death. Man  eventually have to die, have you wondered why has our almighty god, made us go through this painful process? In the bible, Romans 5:12 "Therefore sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-" we understand that we we have committed sin that deserves death punishment.
      If we consider the above verse, it is a serious matter that tens of billions of people have to die because of one man, Adam. Have you considered why did almighty god allow Adam and Eve to commit sin? To this question many would say god gave them the freedom of choice,and they chose to sin, but is this the correct answer? How would people rebuke this verse? Revelations 21:4 "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death..."
      Why did god not give the freedom of choice , but get rid of death? If we are given absolute freedom in heaven, should not there also be freedom to chose from death of eternal life? Through further study I realised that eternal life was not guaranteed to Adam and Eve, but eternal life was given under certain condition, Genesis 2:16-17 "And the Lord God commanded the man, 'You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die.'", Genesis 3:22-24, "And the lord said,'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.'"
       God has longed knew that Adam and Eve would sin and have planned a way for salvation to save his people John 6:53-54 "Jesus said to them,'I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." and this is the feast of Passover that he celebrated with his disciples before his crucifixion. The hope for eternal life may be hidden in the feast of Passover that was lost over 200 years ago due to the abolishment rule set by the Council of Nicaea in A.D.325.
