MOSES

Yes, the kind of life Adam was promised is the kind of life Christ merited condignly for the elect, namely, the glorified state. I believe this is proven by a careful reading of 1 Corinthians 15.
One thing that I am curious about in regards to this view.
If Adam could have obtained the glorified, heavenly, eternal life that Christ gained for us, then what would of happened to all of Adam's posterity if he had kept the covenant of works and entered into the glorified state?
Because we know that, according to Jesus, there is no marriage or procreation in the glorified state. Would it of just been Adam and Eve in heaven then and no humanity at all?
If Adam had kept the covenant and entered into the glorified state, then none of us would ever of been born!
Note: In Rev. Winzer's view though, that Adam could of gained eternal "earthly" life only, there is not a procreation problem.
