SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN<br />
The body becomes decomposed, decays into various material parts. This is commonly<br />
understood. The reason for it is that the Life giving Spirit just returned to God. This is also<br />
spiritual <strong>death</strong> really. Without the Spirit the body is just organic matter usable for vegetation<br />
<strong>and</strong> animal to replenish their bodies.<br />
If man existed in the Divine Realm, he would have been in constant communion with the life<br />
giving Holy Spirit with an infinite amount of energy available indefinitely so that the second law<br />
of thermodynamics would have been simply reversed where everything will go from order to<br />
higher order, glory to glory. As such he would not have been susceptible to <strong>death</strong>. This is why<br />
Adam was expelled from the Garden of Eden viz. from the constant Divine Relationship. This<br />
was equivalent to a sentence of <strong>death</strong> both Spiritual <strong>and</strong> Physical.<br />
The question that remains is: What happens to the Soul?<br />
Very little is given in the bible about this that we have to rely on indirect reasoning.<br />
Gen 5: 4-5 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred<br />
years, <strong>and</strong> he had other sons <strong>and</strong> daughters. So all the days that Adam lived were nine<br />
hundred <strong>and</strong> thirty years, <strong>and</strong> he died.<br />
