NO, Romans 8:18-25 is not... about Adam and Eve's fall.
It is about God having placed His 'creation' (Greek ktisis) in 'vanity', in bondage to corruption. Paul says the CREATION there, NOT Adam and Eve, so I don't know why you would tell a BLATANT LIE against the Roman 8 Scripture there.
Rom 8:20-22
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
KJV
Where is Adam and Eve mentioned in any of that above? No, Paul is talking about the CREATION with Greek ktisis.
That Scripture is linked with what God said in Jeremiah 4:27-28 about His not making a full end of the first world earth age He destroyed, but that this 2nd world earth age the earth would 'mourn', and the heavens above would be black (representing the storm weather of today's 2nd world earth age).
The Jeremiah 4:23-26 Scripture is pointing back to the destruction that God caused back at Genesis 1:2. That is when He began placing this 6-day creation of today in bondage to corruption like Apostle Paul showed.
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“Cursed
is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat
of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall [
f]bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you
are,
And to dust you shall return.”
But whatever, even Derek Prince believed GAP. It's not a salvation matter.
The ground was cursed because of what Adam did. Death came through one man,the first Adam.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned
There could not have been a race of men before Adam that died in “Lucifer's flood” because
1 Corinthians 15:45 tells us that Adam was the “first” man.
Genesis 1:29-30 teaches us that the animals and man were originally created vegetarian. This is consistent with God's description of the creation as “very good.” How could a fossil record which gives evidence of disease, violence, death, and decay (fossils have been found of animals apparently fighting and certainly eating each other) be described as “very good”? Thus, the death of billions of animals (and many humans) as seen in the fossil record must have occurred after Adam's sin. The historical event of Noah's flood, recorded in Genesis, provides an explanation for the presence of huge numbers of dead animals buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the Earth.
The first world is the world before the flood of Noah. No way soft tissue can stay in a dinosaur for billions of years. I can't believe that. And dinosaurs are described in Job.
