I need more clarification
Hey TJ, Happy New Year! Forgive me for my tardy reply. I was away from my blog for a few days busy with other things and trying to make proper sense of your post. If I understand you well, you're saying that we can actually live that perfect life Jesus atoned for us here on earth; that there is no hell or some form of life after our time here on earth. I may not have understood you well, you know, you're getting more and more into church theology which somehow deprives me of understanding. I'd be glad to learn more. Thanks a million, happy and prosperous new year; that is, if you recognize it!

Thanks Prince. I'm sorry my post was confusing. All I'm trying to get at is that while most people acknowledge that Jesus' blood can save us, they tend not to have a working understanding of how it saves us. If you clearly understand that the Bible teaches that what Jesus gave up for us is of the very same worth of what Adam lost for us, then it should make sense.
As far as life after death, does some part of us really live on after death? Think of it this way, Jesus obviously preached the coming resurrection, yet if we all live on after death anyways, either in heaven or hell, why do we need a resurrection at all? The famous English Bible translator William Tyndale put it this way about the dead: "In putting them in heaven, hell, and purgatory, [you] destroy the arguments wherewith Christ and Paul prove the resurrection."
Understanding these simple concepts, that Jesus and Adam were both perfect men and that dead means dead, will make the Bible much more open to you and straightforward in its meaning.
