SECT. II.
Concerning the Kind of Death, threatened to our first Parents, if they should eat of the forbidden Fruit.
Concerning the Kind of Death, threatned to our first Parents, if they should eat of the forbidden Fruit.
DR. T. in his Observations on the three first Chapters of Genesis, says, P. 7. The Threatening to Man in Case of Transgression was, that he should surely die.—Death is the losing of Life. Death is opposed to Life, and must be understood according to the Nature of that Life, to which it is opposed. Now the Death here threatened can, with any Certainty, be opposed only to the Life God gave, Adam, when he created him, ver. 7. Any thing besides this must be pure Conjecture, without solid Foundation.
