What did God give Adam and Eve besides bodies?
A.He gave them souls that could never die.

Besides bodies, God gave Adam and Eve souls that would never die. People are more than bodies. The soul is the part of us that thinks, loves and knows God, and it continues forever. The next two questions apply this to the child himself.
What can we ask our children?
