"Adam was Superman, not Tarzan"


Snippet from Melinda Selmys' timely article Before Sin: Creation, Adam and Eve, and the Garden of Eden. In the May / June 2011 issue of This Rock magazine.


"Adam was Superman, not Tarzan.

"Human beings in the garden were not subject to the frailties and failings of our present life.

"They possessed the preternatural gifts of:

"Impassibility (freedom from pain)

"Immortality (freedom from death)

"Integrity (freedom from concupiscence, or disordered desires)

"Infused knowledge (freedom from ignorance in matters essential to true happiness)..."

And then along came Satan and snookered them into the wickedest con job of all time! :(
