Animals are living "things". They don't have souls the way people do. They along with nature are the only things created that did not sin against God. Nature and animals obey God. Man does not. Nature and the Univers have fallen as a direct result of Adams sin in the Garden. like it or not we live in a fallen world.
Not according to the Bible. God allowed adam to live 900 years in order to populate the earth. since man in his wickedness and rebellion against God has continued God no longer allowed man to live that long. Scriptures: OF THE FALL OF MAN, OF SIN, AND OF THE PUNISHMENT THEREOF Paragraph 1. Although God created man upright and perfect, and gave him a righteous law, which had been unto life had he kept it, and threatened death upon the breach thereof,1 yet he did not long abide in this honor; Satan using the subtlety of the serpent to subdue Eve, then by her seducing Adam, who, without any compulsion, did willfully transgress the law of their creation, and the command given to them, in eating the forbidden fruit,2 which God was pleased, according to His wise and holy counsel to permit, having purposed to order it to His own glory. 1 Gen. 2:16,17 2 Gen. 3:12,13; 2 Cor. 11:3 Paragraph 2. Our first parents, by this sin, fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and we in them whereby death came upon all:3 all becoming dead in sin,4 and wholly defiled in all the faculties and parts of soul and body.5 3 Rom. 3:23 4 Rom 5:12, etc. 5 Titus 1:15; Gen. 6:5; Jer. 17:9; Rom. 3:10-19 Paragraph 3. They being the root, and by God's appointment, standing in the room and stead of all mankind, the guilt of the sin was imputed, and corrupted nature conveyed, to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation,6 being now conceived in sin,7 and by nature children of wrath,8 the servants of sin, the subjects of death,9 and all other miseries, spiritual, temporal, and eternal, unless the Lord Jesus set them free.10 6 Rom. 5:12-19; 1 Cor. 15:21,22,45,49 7 Ps. 51:5; Job 14:4 8 Eph. 2:3 9 Rom. 6:20, 5:12 10 Heb. 2:14,15; 1 Thess. 1:10 Paragraph 4. From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil,11 do proceed all actual transgressions.12 11 Rom. 8:7; Col. 1:21 12 James 1:14,15; Matt. 15:19 Paragraph 5. The corruption of nature, during this life, does remain in those that are regenerated;13 and although it be through Christ pardoned and mortified, yet both itself, and the first motions thereof, are truly and properly sin.14 13 Rom. 7:18,23; Eccles. 7:20; 1 John 1:8 14 Rom. 7:23-25; Gal. 5:17
Just because you don't see something with your eyes does not mean that it does not exist. Seeing is not necessarily believing. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1
Not according to Scripture. In heaven everybody will recongnize their loveones. just as the disciples recognized Moses, Abraham etc on the mount of Transfiguration in the Gospels.
Another question for you Christians: Gen 1:26 Says animals were created before man. Gen 2:18 Says Man was made before the animals. Which is correct, or as Christians must you accept both as true?
"Not according to scripture ".... According to the Bible, Adam did not sin by wilful transgression. Both Adam & Eve would have been incapable of doing so.
