  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Were there thorns and thistles before the Fall of Adam?

ESV, Gen 3:

17 And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
Were there thorns and thistles before the fall of Adam?

Probably not. Before the Fall, there were species of the progenitors of the thorns and thistles. When God cursed the ground, they mutated to produce thorns and thistles to protect themselves against some animals. It signifies the beginning of the struggle between plant life and animal life.

Before the fall everything (all of nature) was in perfect harmony ..... after the fall everything was effected by sin entering in.
