Explain to me why you believe what you said because a Loving Almighty God would not give us a life to live which is meaningless and then we die. that verse is their to explain what God had to prepare adam and eve for in the middle of a catastrophic situation.

This life is not supposed to be pleasurable, pleasure is only here to teach us about our purpose, not to replace it. Man is supposed to work, and hate his work, all days of his life, until he finally freed by death.

For those who believe that there is no everlasting hell, you are wrong. The scripture says so. The person above in the comments is misreading the truth. Our Body will be returned to the ground, and our souls will return to God. But then shall we be resurrected. Given a new body, and cast into the lake of fire if we be unrighteous, or risen with Jesus the Savior to be with Him and the Lord Almighty for all eternity in everlasting life if we fight the good fight here.

What to know can my body be returned to ground.

Demitrious Robinson's comment on 2013-09-12 09:18:02:

This scripture proves that people do not burn in a fiery hell. "For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return," is fairly clear.

I have been accused just lately by my step daughter that if I were a good Christian, I would help her and her husband , but their need was caused by a stupid thing they did , they have lied so much to us. We have been used so they can buy drugs, and they have lost their children too because of their habits. I think the verse refers to working the soil, not to be too proud nor lazy to work it, for you were created by GOD from it, and you will become soil again when you die. Your earthly body will return to dust. That is it.
