  • 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.

Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything he had captured.

When we think of Creationism we look directly at Moses as being the Father of Creationism. Because after all Moses gave us Genesis in the Bible. Yet according to Kabbalism there are people that believe the Oral tradition goes back to Abraham and even Adam because they are the first to enter into a covenant with God. It is more difficult to understand the part that Melchizedek has in all of this. We know that: "Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine:" Salem today is the city we call Jerusalem. All Christians know about Bread and Wine because this was a big part of the last supper. So here with the story of Melchizedek we have a reference to the last supper that Jesus shared with His disciples before He went to Calvary to sacrifice Himself for us so that we could inherit the promises of God.

This thread has to do with the ORIGIN of Creationism looking to see if Moses was the FATHER of Creationism or if maybe Creationism goes back further then Moses to Abraham or maybe even is it possible that Melchizedek was the father of Creationism.

As a foot note: Salam means peace. Today we have Jerus-alam because without Jesus there is no peace in Jerusalem. This will be His capital and we will rule and reign with Him for 1000 years.

Isaiah 24:23 "Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously."

This is why we read in Genesis that man is to: "subdue it: and have dominion" over all of Creation. When "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord" Rev 11:15 As we say many times God knows the end from the beginning. When Melchizedek brought out the bread and the wine to Abraham he was telling the story of Jesus at Calvary.

If you try to separate Jesus from Jerusalem you will have no peace and you can not separate evolution from creationism. There is no peace with anti theistic evolution. Only Theistic Evolution tells the whole story.

I believe Moses only compiled the book of Genesis; he didn't write it.

Adam wrote Genesis 1 & 2.

Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

An aside on Melchidesek:

In the Bible, you have prophets, priests, and kings.

A man could serve in the capacity of prophet and priest: such as Samuel.

A man could serve in the capacity of prophet and kings: such as David.

But under no circumstances could a man serve as priest and king.

Two men tried it, and two men immediately suffered the consequences.

1 Samuel 13:8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
1 Samuel 13:9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

2 Chronicles 26:16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.


Melchizek was another matter though.

He was both "king of Salem" and "prophet of the most high God."

In other words, He was the preincarnate Christ.

Perhaps that is why Paul says: Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life.

7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually *.
7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

As a general rule we call upon Abraham as Father. Even though the Gentiles are adopted into the family and they are not natural branches the way the Hebrews are. So is Abraham the Father of Creationism?

Yes, indeed!

I know of one lady in our church who used the expression, "Father Abraham."

Personally, I have reservations about it.

Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Correct.

No.

Adam is ... by authorship.

There are people that believe that through the language of Adam God created the world. Even some people believe that Eve spoke the same language as Adam.
