We can understand only from His charity by His words, not depend on our own.Does God have some “need” for glory?
He is the alpha and omega, ----> every things should come from Him.
Why should He create all things ?.
All His creation shall bring glory to Him,cause all the glory should be for Him only, that is why He creates , but God has a special plan with men where from them they shall glorify Him with their mouth,mind and hearth .I get the “glory” answer lots of times, so a tree brings glory to God by being a tree, what is the difference with man?
Can people not bring glory to God and other people do bring glory to God, so what is the difference?
Angels do not inhabit the earth, are not like and resemble to God , neither sheep .That does tells us what they will do but not why they were made in the first place? Why did God not make angels or sheep to do that?
Only men are.
No they did not,Did Adam and Eve bring glory to God on earth by what they did?
If all His special creatures (names are listed in the book of life before the creation of the world) He created on a same time ( not only A and E but all in once ) , and all of them He placed in Eden with no satan there , and after reached the time where satans were thrown to the lake of fire, then they were asked : " why do you be here in this wonderful and so glorious land without sick, old, sorrows and not being thrown to the lof like satans ?", they surely answered: " absolutely yes , cause we are the glorious creatures , we are created like and resemble to God " ---> does their answer glorify God ?.
If every things run as now we are , then finally we are asked : " How can you be here in this new earth full of happiness and without tears ,not as them(satans and his followers) who are thrown entirely to the lof ", they surely answer : " actually there is no difference between us , we started as the spiritually dead too, who with our own will we always oppose and rebel Him, but how we can be here is only come from His Glory and His Charity " ----> this is the glorifying statement (the purpose of creation ).
God gave Adam special maid for His goodness ( just only one woman among all women that fit to him , this special maid is to help him cause he is now imperfect creature ( incomplete rib = unfortified )),see Gen6 to explore profoundly about this.If Eve was made suitable for Adam would that mean differently emotionally, psychologically, and maybe even intellectually and not just with different plumbing?
Eve was made to meet the needs of Adam, so Eve might have some lesser qualities than Adam even though Adam can meet the needs of Eve?
Before men exist , the sources of sin already existed , God only uses them for His sake to bring Him Glory.Does sin bring glory to God?
Glorious state = eternal state , eternal dead also = eternal state.This physical body change is not in there. Their bodies with the help of the fruit from the tree of life could last forever.
Gen3:22 Then the LORD God said, "Now the man has become like one of us and has knowledge of what is good and what is bad. He must not be allowed to take fruit from the tree that gives life, eat it, and live forever."
In this eternal realm they will never be able to bear their kids.
Suggestion : find the relation between " why should God create A and E first( not all the names listed in the book of life )" and "Rom8:20 For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope" and "Eph1:4 Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love"
Gen2:17 except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. You must not eat the fruit of that tree; if you do, you will die the same day.The Garden story does not present the idea all humans are spiritually dead from then on?
It does not talk about “salvation” per say?
There are some relationships among these verses that can help us understand the substances God want us to be understood .
Gen2:3 He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as a special day, because by that day he had completed his creation and stopped working.
Exod31:13 to tell the people of Israel, "Keep the Sabbath, my day of rest, because it is a sign between you and me for all time to come, to show that I, the LORD, have made you my own people.
31:14 You must keep the day of rest, because it is sacred. Whoever does not keep it, but works on that day, is to be put to death.
31:15 You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is a solemn day of rest dedicated to me. Whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.
Hebr4:9 As it is, however, there still remains for God's people a rest like God's resting on the seventh day.
