[Austin]

Spiritual death is nothing more than spiritually separated from the fellowship with the spirit of the Lord. It is not death in the sense of non-existence. The spirit of man is not dead. If fact the power of God's existence is what sustains life of living being in the flesh.
Adam and Eve were given the GIFT of eternal life by God's grace and personal will long before the event of the partaking of the fruit. As a penalty of their actions and because now they knew right from wrong by the law of God in their hearts they now faced condemnation on a daily basis.
But what happened to the original debate on infants and sin on this post?
