What three parts was Adam created with, and which part gave him fellowship with God?
Adam was created with three parts: body, soul, and spirit. The spirit was the part by which he had fellowship and communion with the Creator. When Adam sinned, that spirit died or became dormant, while physical death did not occur for 939 years.
Les teaches that Adam was first created with body, soul, and spirit, and that the spirit was the part whereby he had fellowship and communion with his Creator. When Adam sinned, God had said, "The day thou eatest of, thou shalt surely die." Adam did not die physically for 939 years, but his spirit—the part with which he had fellowship with God—died. Les says it did not completely disappear, but like a tree in wintertime it was dormant, or like a run-down car battery that is dead until outside energy comes in and regenerates it. At the same time, Adam's created personality became a sin nature, what Les calls the old Adam, with only one bent: rebellion against everything God instructed, taught, or admonished, saying "No."
