The Nature of Death: A Biblical Perspective

The discussion emphasizes the connection between death and sin within a biblical framework, highlighting that death is not merely a biological event but a consequence of humanity's rebellion against God. Theologically, death is perceived as a curse introduced by the fall of Adam and Eve, which ruptured the relationship between humanity and the Creator. Prior to the fall, while decay existed in nature, human death was not intended, as Adam and Eve were meant to have immortality through their covenant with God. This distinction highlights that while mortality is a possibility, the actual penalty of death stems from humanity's disobedience, leading to a separation from God.
