    Working out : Your Salvation

    - You are "made free from sin"., if you are born again and not just water baptized and a religious law keeper. So, if you are confessing sin, then what you are struggling with..... is sin consciousness, not sin. Paul said' "i seen another law warring against ">..= "Inside me". See that? That...

    Are We Descendants Of Incest?

    I’m noticing a lot of people having a problem with all mankind being a descendant of Adam & Eve because it would imply that their children would’ve had to engage in incest in order to populate the world and also the fact that Cain settled in the city of Nod and got married so people often ask...

    John Walton's Lost World of Adam and Eve

    In case anyone missed it, a lecture by John Walton on Adam and Eve. The video covers topics such as "who did Cain marry?" And "was Eve made of Adam's rib bone?".

    The "image of Elohim" in Genesis 1

    What exactly is the image of Elohim, and is it a quality of all humans or only the man in the Garden of Eden? If I'm reading this right, in verse 25 the noun 'Adam' (Man) is used without an article, but in 27 it's with an article.

    Garden of Eden: How long do you think Adam + Eve were there?

    Are there any clues elsewhere in the Bible? Genesis sure doesn't tell us much. But it is curious that it doesn't seem there was any sex in the Garden. There might have been but nothing is mentioned of it. God did command Adam to fill the Earth though and you can't very well do that without...

    Recent article by William Lane Craig suggests the historical Adam lived more than 750,000 years ago

    WLC embraces both sacred myth and some current scientific understandings to locate the historical Adam. Given the recent archaeological findings, Adam and Eve may plausibly be identified as belonging to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, usually denominated Homo...

    Biblical Chronology: From Adam To The End Of The World (introduction)

    While many have made attempts at various biblical chronologies I have not found one that clearly and decisively lays out from Scripture the numbers they espouse. After much study and prayer I have been able to do just that with the help of the Holy Spirit guiding me in my work to accurately...

    When Eve Ate the Tangerine

    I am not a creationist, but I have a question for the creationists. When Eve picked the tangerine from the forbidden tree, and ate it, what if she had kept all the tangerines for herself? Instead of sharing the tangerines with Adam, she could have hidden them so that Adam couldn't find them...

    The Biblical 'World' was never all Planet Earth's inhabitants

    12 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:-- 13 for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over...

    Genesis: Beginning of Dry Land, not Planet Earth

    I believe the bible in its entirety to be inspired by Yahweh Elohim (whom most people call God.) Because of that, I believe that Genesis 1 is not about the creation of Planet Earth but about the creation of one small part of it - the raising of the land that was underwater between the Nile and...

    Which came first: Adam or the Child Adam?

    Hi there, So yes, this is just meant by way of filling in the gaps: Adam was not necessarily an adult, when God made him. Which came first, Adam, the adult or Adam the child? Intuitively, we assert the Child Adam came first, right? That way there is time for Creation to be experienced, before...

    What did Adam know / figure out?

    (Theological brain teaser time:) Maybe seems like an odd question? Yet considering Scripture passages like "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." And Abraham says to Issac "God will provide Himself a sacrifice." Indicate some inkling of knowledge of a redemption plan. Also that the...

    For Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen

    “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth...

    Part 2 - Mankind's Fall From Grace

    Part 1, "In the Beginning: God's Perfect Creation," illustrated creation from the very beginning and concluded with a discussion on Satan's evil plot to destroy the Creator's perfect work. "The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is...

    Was Y-Chromosomal Adam a monkey?

    Darwin and the Bible. If there were no people before the very first person in history, then Darwinism is not right in front of the Church. And if Adam's dad was a monkey, then Adam must be a monkey. And he is the first person. We have come to a contradiction, therefore Darwin is not right.

    The Redemption Of Eve By The New Adam

    I had originally planned to put this in my "Power of the Tongue" series but after spending some time thinking about it I think this blog post would be better off as a stand-alone. For those who have not read the "Power of Tongue" series of posts I am currently blogging about the Bible's...

    Question about Genesis, Adam and Eve.

    Genesis 3:22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever- Hello, So my question might sound a bit dumb but here it is : Since Adam and Eve didn't know...

    Why was Eve not given a name until after the Fall?

    Something I noticed was that Adam was named right away, but Eve was just called "the woman". From however long it was between Eve's creation to the Fall (assuming you take Genesis as literal), Eve was just called "the woman". Why? Is it yet another example of the Bible seeming to see men as...

    Adam incapable of Perfection; Jesus incapable of Sin?

    This is a summary theological statement that I would like to hear critique regarding. Thanks in advance. Statement 1: Adam was incapable of eternal perfection; this is due to the nature of choice / free will; only God is ‘good’ and unless Adam was ‘one’ with God, he would ultimately make a...

    Adam and Eve in Heaven?

    I have asked a few people if they think Adam and Eve will be in heaven. Invariably I get the same answer, "Of course they will be in heaven." I do object to that. 1) Adam blamed Eve. 2) Eve blamed the serpent. 3) Neither of them repented or were sorry. 4) God sacrificed animals to cover their...
