What would they disagree with?

We are created as eternal beings. Our soul will live forever. The question is where will we live? The answer depends on our choice.

Since the beginning of our existance we are spiritual beings physically dependent on our creator for our being and sustenance. GOD provides us with sun shine and rain, wind and frost, food and shelter. WE broke that relationship when WE decided that WE could provide for ourselves better than GOD could and that started our downward spiral to destruction.

WE try to live independent of GOD and act like HE is not concerned with our small life as HE has to run the entire universe and keep things in order.

That idea comes from our not understanding who GOD is and not wanting to, because if we understood who GOD is then we would be responsible for our actions toward HIM and our fellow men. (men and women) Which puts our motives and actions in the light of who GOD is and what HE has told us about HIMSELF and us, and what HE expects of us in our actions here and now.

The result of our self willed disobedence is separation from a loving and HOLY GOD and out from under HIS protection. It placed us in a situation we were never ment to be in. BUT GOD foreknew that we would do this and JESUS had agreed to take our punishment on HIMSELF before Adam was ever created or drew his first breath.

Isn’t GOD wonderful! :)

Many would disagree with the premise that we are created as eternal beings and our souls will live forever. Many would disagree that we have any kind of relationship with God, much less, that we broke it. Many would disagree with the whole idea that we were created to love God, heck, many would even disagree that there was a garden of Eden.
