  • According to the book, Reasoning from the Scriptures, published by Jehovah's Witnesses, humans grow old and die because they inherited sin and imperfection from their first parents Adam and Eve. They were given the command Not to eat from "the tree of the knowledge of good and bad," yet they chose to disobey God.
  • Romans 5:12, 17, 19 states: "Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned-...By the trespass of the one man death ruled as king...Through the disobedience of the one man many were constituted sinners."
  • To illustrate: Imagine you have a baking pan with a dent in it. Every time you use that pan to make a cake, the cakes come out with the same dent. Similarly, Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command and became sinful creatures. Since we are their offspring, they have given us the same "dent" of sin. The consequences of sinning are growing old and dying.
