Perhaps we need to look into how closely man's condition is tied to the rest of the planet. Could it be that there is a vital, but still unknown, link that caused the entire planet to fall when Adam and Eve fell? Or maybe a cursed planet, with its dangerous animals and difficult-to-maintain foliage, is exactly what fallen man needs in order to regain his lost glory, so that's what God gave him? There may be truths out there that we haven't yet discovered. Hmmmm...

I answered this. Enoch needed more that Jesus' death so the answer is not yes or no. He needed Jesus death and life. If Christ was not raised, then the gospel would be moot. Enoch is saved the same way all of us are saved, but Jesus death and life. It was asked how this could be work given that Christ had not yet died. This would be limiting God to time. Something we have a hard time grasping.

Where exactly is the bad logic? Please tell me how we inherit traits from our father that are not in the genome. I'm not speaking about culture. There is education, but this is what EGW calls "cultivated" habits. She is clear and I agree, there are inherited and cultivated tendancies to sin. What does a child receive from his father that is not culture? He/She receives 23 chromosomes in a protein cap. No cell nucleus, no cytoplasm, no cellular organelles. 23 chromosomes, that's it. So, how else do we inherit traits? Please explain how heredity is not genetic.

• It would have been an almost infinite humiliation for the Son of God to take man's nature, even when Adam stood in his innocence in Eden. But Jesus accepted humanity when the race had been weakened by four thousand years of sin. Like every child of Adam He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity. What these results were is shown in the history of His earthly ancestors. He came with such a heredity to share our sorrows and temptations, and to give us the example of a sinless life. {DA 48.5}

Can you plainly say that EGW it not talking about genetics in this quote? If she is not talking about genetics, please identify what she is talking about. I anxiously await your reply.

Or maybe we are blind to what is right in front of our eyes.

The fallen world is a world full of sin. Did Got create the cactus with thorns? No. The thorns are the result of "Satan's ingenious methods of amalgamation". This quote of EGW is talking genetic engineering: DNA manipulation.

• Christ never planted the seeds of death in the system. Satan planted these seeds when he tempted Adam to eat of the tree of knowledge, which meant disobedience to God. Not one noxious plant was placed in the Lord's great garden, but after Adam and Eve sinned, poisonous herbs sprang up. In the parable of the sower the question was asked the master, "Didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?" The master answered, "An enemy hath done this." [Matthew 13:27, 28.] All tares are sown by the evil one. Every noxious herb is of his sowing, and by his ingenious methods of amalgamation he has corrupted the earth with tares. {16MR 247.2}

How are thorns and are transmitted as an inheritance - genetics. It is really that hard to think that we receive tenancies to evil by genetics? After all, we are flesh and blood, ALL of which is coded in our DNA. The DNA is a fantastic information storage and transfer system. God has written his Law on every nerve, muscle and fiber of our being, quoting EGW. And again EGW, man was amalgamating man and beast, "genetic engineering", which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion everywhere.

Please read my post again. That was not my question this time.

So, while abiding in Jesus, good fruit and the evils of the heart combine?

After man sinned, the problem was both a relational (or healing) one and a legal one. God has always been willing to forgive man, but, in order to do so, God had two problems:
1- Leading man to repentance, and
2- Finding a way to forgive man without sacrificing the honor of His law
The cross accomplished both objectives.

Exactly!
Any "model" that tries to separate the two is a distortion.

I do not equate the healing with the relationship as you appear to do. They are separate. Sin is not merely a broken relationship. It is true, that Romans 2:4 ... the goodness of God leads you to repentance... There is reconciliation at the cross, Romans 5:10 ... we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son ... We are reconciled in that we see that God is not the executioner.

You point #2 is interesting in that you say God has always been willing to forgive, but somehow had to find a way to forgive? Again in this thread, there are 2 kinds of forgiveness in the NT, Charizomai, which is the typical kind of forgiveness we thing of, that that is God not holding anything against us. And Aphiemi - which is what God does in us, as in 1 John 1:9.

God did have to uphold His law. He did this at the cross, where He showed His son publicly dying, showing what the wages of sin is. And the reason we are saved is not because we are simply legally forgiven, it is because we are transformed. God and fix the problem of sin. It is real, and physical. EGW in the book Steps to Christ, Chapter 5, explains that we need a total transformation of the whole nature. Without that transformation, there is no salvation.
