Which is not included in Adam's introduction of death?

• A. Physical Death
• B. Spiritual Death
• C. Eternal Life
• D. Annihilation of the soul

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is what death includes when sin enters humanity. Adam’s action brings in two forms of death: physical death, the end of life in the body, and spiritual death, the separation from God that sin creates. Eternal life, by contrast, is the life promised to believers through Christ—a positive, ongoing relationship with God, not a consequence of Adam’s sin. Since Adam’s introduction of death describes the results of sin, eternal life is not part of what he introduced; it represents the remedy and the life God offers after redemption. Annihilation of the soul isn’t part of that initial description either, but the key point is that eternal life stands apart as the opposite of death.
