Do you think that time itself could be a consequence of original sin?

[DarnerJose]

Hmmmmn. Interesting question. I do perceive time as a consequence of original sin because without it we'd all live long and know no death and without death the idea or rather the concept of time is almost useless.

[Isaac Chiso]

If original sin brought death and decay into creation, then time as the measure of change and passing might well be a consequence of the fall.

[Irene Kana]

I do not think that time is the consequence of original sin. My argument is based on the fact that by the time Adam and Eve came into the picture, there had already been five days of created things and Adam was created on the sixth day according to Genesis, therefore there was time already in existence because there were events that already happened in existence i.e trees, animals etc before sin was committed. Death is the consequence of original sin not time, whether spiritual death or physical death. Romans 6:23 New International Version (For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ our Lord.

[Esther-David]

I don't know if I have the expertise to answer this with full understanding. I do not believe so, though. From Genesis, God created day and night is mentioned before the Original Sin of Adam & Eve happens. So, I do not think the separation of day and night and the passing of time is directly a reaction from sin. However, I think that humans not being able to live infinitely is a direct consequence of sin.

According to the Bible, time is a consequence of the original sin. The interpretations of Genesis support this idea, suggesting that humanity's fall from grace transformed existence from a timeless state to one governed by time, as the curse affected all creation. If Adam and Eve had not sinned, then perhaps we would have lived forever.

[Tukuna Sahu]

Yes, I believe that time itself could be a consequence of original sin. Some name it as "Karma." In science we have a statement for this. Every action has an equivalent opposite reaction.

[Chinazo Anozie]

From the Bible, I think God intended for man to live forever in the Garden of Eden. But this was cut short after the original sin and man was banished and made mortay. In fact, God also reduced man's mortality to 120 years, so I don't believe time is a consequence of original sin.

[Asher Willams]

I think time is a consequence of human sins, not just original sin. This is because, from Adam and Eve, the time given to humans kept decreasing until Good pegged it at 120.
