adam and Eve were made of the dust of the Earth from which they came,—they brought their bodies with them. They had lived died and been resurrected before they came here and they came with immortal bodies, and had to partake of the fruit of this Earth in order to bring forth mortal bodies, or nautral bodies, that their seed might be of the dust of this Earth, as they were of the dust of the earth from which they came.
