yes as a jew you would think that but in the New testament it speaks of a new creation. one were sin no longer reigns over man. this is the christian state. our once dead spirit was made alive again when the Holy Spirit (whom you also reject) entered us. No we are not sinless beings like Adam was before the fall but we are as close to the restored man as one can get. this is what G_d meant in the OT when he said I would write the laws on man's hearts. What he meant in Joel 2:28-32 when he said he would pour out His Spirit on all flesh...
I'm not a Jew, though I wish I was Jew or Hindu=] - I simply am not blind to all those misconceptions born in Christianity through centuries. I do not believe in Holy Spirit as some funky part of Godhead, first - that's polytheism, second - there's no mention of it in Tanakh, thus it must be something made by Christians, talk about not corrupting Jewish teachings...
What he meant in those verses was moksha - state when soul, be it intellectual animal's (dolphin's, human's), normal animal's or non-living object's, reconnect with Brahma/God/Oneness/etc. For more data visit wikipedia.org.
G_d told Adam that when he ate of the fruit, HE WOULD DIE. Adam lived another 930 years so what died in him? his Spirit died!
People hit by cars do not die immidiately, but usual being already in the hospital. People suffering from cancer do not die immidiately, but several (up to 30+) years after it all has started. In the end (after eatting the fruit) Adam has died, but not because he ate it, but because God cursed the whole humankind.
The bolded part - that's what normal people call textual manipulation. Nowhere in the text is said anything like what I have quoted - you have made this up and you made it on purpose, that shows how Christians really are.
Another thing is that Jews notice, that snake didn't lie about the Tree - Adam didn't die through eatting the fruit, but because of God's anger.
How can a human with no spirit ever relate to or dwell with a G_d who is Spirit? his dead Spirit must be made alive again. the only way for a fallen Adam to be in heaven is to be made perfect (whole) again - a living Body, A living Soul & a living Spirit.
Ditto. Also, Heaven is not a physical state (as Christians make it look into) - there's no need for a body. What Christians commited was mixing The World to Come concept with the concept of Heaven into one concept, making it all lack sense whatsoever.
How can G_d make man's dead Spirit live again? by putting His life giving Spirit back into man. If Adam's sin killed the Spirit in man then a New perfect man would have to come to deal with Adam's sin that perfect man was God himself taking on human flesh in the form of Jesus.
Ditto. God in flesh is blasphemy. Tanakh clearly states that God was not, is not and will be not coporeal, will never have body. Jesus worship is called idol worship and is forbidden by the Bible.
When God died to remove Adam's sin then the way was clear for Him to send his Spirit to make man whole again. You see the reason for a New testament is that with the close of the Old Testament, Man was still lost in his sin & only had the promise of life. Jesus fulfilled those 300 prophecies & gave life back to man.
Ditto.There was no close of the OT, at all - that's a concept made up by Christians to reason NT. Jesus did not fulfill any of the prophecies, at all.
