The Narrow Path Ministries

I don't know why this jumped out at me, maybe because I have been in many conversations on grace thru faith but... Romans 8:23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this...

What I seem to see in scripture is that Adam was created with the possibility of immortality and sinlessness. After he choose wrongly, as an act of mercy God booted Adam out of the garde...
