a few MORE dying ques.

I wish to ask a few (more) question. Please pardon me if i seems rude in anyway.

We as human are suppose to be born with a sin...non-beliver of Christian will be sent to hell...what have we done as a human to be sinned so greatly when we are juz born, a infant who don't know how to speak is sinned juz because Adam has done a sin (by eatting a fruit?) ? That seems unlogical.

Unbeliver are also sent to hell. Again, what sin has the person done by not being a Christian? Is it fair if a kind-natured non-beliver is sent to hell while an average Christian is sent to heaven? What about those who has not got a chance to get in touch with Christian or someone who is forced into other religion?

The Bible states that even a man who has never heard of Christ knows right from wrong, the law being written in their hearts, and will be judged according to what they have been given. God is completely just in His dealings and judgments with His creation and knows what has been given to each.

Since He is the giver of life, all life goes back to Him and nothing is lost because of Him unless it chooses to not know Him. Those without choice, will, ofcourse, be judged according to His perfect and merciful judgments. There will be no injustice because of God, and whoever has given you that idea has misled you. However, if a person has the opportunity to find the truth but chooses to remain in darkness and refuse the free gift of God, then the judgment will be, again, according to their own actions towards the light of truth.
God is righteous and merciful in His judgments and has supplied eternal life to those that accept the free gift He has given through His owns Son's life and death for our mistakes because He is a Holy and perfect God that cannot fellowship with sin. Why anyone would refuse this offer of love is the question, and if a person has the chance to answer it, then they are held accountable for their decision to accept the love of God or refuse it.

You have not been rude in asking your questions, at all, and feel free to ask as many more as you like. That is what this forum is for, and you have not been disrespectful to ask important questions.

The garden of Eden choice that man made wasn't really about fruit, but disobedience to know God according to God's command. The result has been sin and death which will still suffer from. God has fixed this by giving His own Son's life in exchange for the sin of man that Adam has given us as a inheritance.

God's plan for man has been given to us through His Word in the Bible and has been kept safe for us, through time, to read and study. If you have the opportunity to pick up a copy of it in your language, do so, and continue to seek God with all your heart.

You seems good...raphe...let me ask you one real difficult qoestion.

If the world starts with Adam and Eves, how is it that the people today have different blood type, DNAs and gene? It would quite be impossible to have so much differences even after a long period of time because the world starts with just two person!

Pardon my grammer.

Raphe has done an excellent job at answering your questions, I just wanted to add some to what has been said.

From my Christian perspective, I look at Adam and Eve as God gave them everything in the beginning. He provided them with life, shelter, food, he gave them dominion over all in the Garden. He gave them one rule, not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. It wasn't that this fruit was bad or evil, but that he was testing their obedience to Him. And why shouldn't they have been obedient to the One who provided everything for them? But they were not. You don't go very far into the Bible until sin enters in. We call it the concept of orginial sin. That man since the fall of Adam is inherently sinful, meaning that is part of our nature. Left to our own desires and will, we will sin. Basically, we can't help it. That is why we say we are all born into sin, every child that is born, is born a sinner.

But, God, wanting to reconcile man to himself, sent us a Saviour, which is Jesus Christ. When we sin, we separate ourselves from God. Here is the God of the universe, our Creator, who essentially died for us, in the form of a human in Jesus Christ, and to receive salvation, all he asks from us is to accept that death and accept Jesus as our Saviour. And he leaves the decision to us. We can accept it or we can chose not to. He doesn't force the choice on us. So how is it fair that someone who choses not to accept this gift of salvations when given the opportunity be given eternal life in heaven? It's not how good you are or what good works you do that open the doors to heaven, it's the life saving blood of Jesus Christ and the acceptance of his death that saves you. But when Jesus lives in your heart, you want to do good and help others, so the two sort of go hand in hand, if that makes sense.

I hope that helps.

Re Adam and Eve's DNA, etc. Adam and Eve lived a long time and could have had say 800 children. Each child would have had a totally different combination of DNA. And because they were the first two people in an unpolluted world, their DNA would have been perfect. WOW!

Pardon my grammer.

My grammer is far from perfect, so don't worry.

I recently saw a program on TV that was a scientific statement about mitochondrial DNA. It has proven that all men and women are related to a common father and mother - or tribe. Here is an interesting link about it:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/4055.asp
Also, this index has some more topics/answers you may find interesting, including answers to your query about the great flood and Noah:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/qa.asp
After the flood, we are now all related to the sons of Noah - Shem, Ham, and Japeth, but Adam and Eve were the original progenitors of man, just as the Bible says.
I am no scientist, but I do keep up on the latest scientific theories etc. and every day, I see more evidence being revealed proving that every word written in the Bible is truth. Everywhere we look we will find God's signature and hand.
