Well, the powers Adam had obviously were before any universe change. Point? Man fell, but the earth, apparently, was still affected by the laws that goverened the universe. The ground was cursed, I don't recall that reaching to the stars, or center of the earth?!
Then you need to actually read the Bible sometime -- your knowledge of it would be considered pitiful, if you merited pity.
Romans 8:21-22 said:
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Paul here is referring to a post-
Fall, not post-"Split" world -- please note the phrase "the whole creation."
You really should confer with AV1611VET on this one, dad -- at least he makes more of an effort to be Biblically consistent.
That depends if He gives someone a job, to be master. Obviously the Head Honcho is God. No one suggested, as you know, that Adam was master over God. Ridiculous.
Adam was certainly not master over all of Creation -- there was at least one part of it which was off-limits to him (Tree of Knowledge)
No mystery? Tell us how, then. The bible also tells us Jesus became a man, rose from the dead a man, as well in an eternal body, He still has.
Technically speaking, I suppose you could call it a "mystery," even though it isn't -- the "mystery" of the Incarnation. It's so simple, only the willingly dense don't get the concept: Jesus was fully human, but at the same time,
fully God.
This serves to differentiate Him from other mythological heroes, who, as sons of gods, were 50% God, 50% human. Jesus, OTOH, was 100% human but paradoxically enough, also 100% God.
Being 100% God makes Jesus' accomplishments child's play.
This is basic Christianity, dad -- I'm a bit surprised you don't know this.
Surprised, but hardly disappointed.
We shall be like Him, it says. Not sure why you seem intent on debasing men, even after they come to His glorious kingdom.
I can see why you would covet Jesus' power for yourself, dad. This time, I'm neither surprised nor disappointed.
I heard an idea that Adam indeed was originally to rule over the powers of nature as well. (Vernon Magee) I have no reason to doubt it. Not have you given us any.
Well, I heard an idea that Adam was originally to have the power to exude Cheese-Whiz from his pores on alternate Tuesdays. Seeing as how the story didn't go that way, we can speculate just about whatever we want without fear of being proven wrong.
What I can know, is that science does, and cannot know. That is what we are looking at here. As well as the absurd conclusions that so called science must come to, in the end of their wrong reasoning, based on a false foundation.
Which then raises the question of what makes
your foundations any less false? Seems that you only reject that possibility because you choose to -- thus putting your own beliefs (at least in your own mind) on the same level as established science -- this despite the fact that half of your beliefs are incoherent blather.
Religion has great potential to make the impotent feel important -- but don't let the illusion of power go to your head, dad.
There are cluse as to the actual state of things in the future, and a clear similarity to the far past.
Similar, if we accept the "clues" at face value, but not identical -- that's all I was trying to point out originally, before you got insecure.
Better than what? In what way? The people living on earth will have similar life spans, and crops will grow fast, etc. It will be better, in most ways than the period from the fall, till the split, since Jesus is here! But the new heavens do not come till after the thousand years.
See now? All you had to do was say that -- State "A" + Jesus = State "C."
It was deep, so it would require more than a sntence or two to result in any undertstanding. We could keep it simple, and say that the past and future are different than the present.
And also different from each other -- that's the point I was getting at.
Why you pretend that I said be astounded at me, I have no idea. Seems terribly childish, patronizing, and foolish.
That's ok dad -- we're used to it. After all, you're going to rule the universe someday, right?
And, I am not sure what you think you heard in the bible, funny I never heard a thing about a different state universe, myself, before?
Ah, so you did make that part up -- kudos for your (much-delayed) honesty.
Again, you really need some sit-down time with AV1611VET to get your story more in line with Scripture.
(And given the nature of the debates I've had with AV, I'm sure he can appreciate the irony of me recommending him to you)
Neither did I read about the partially different state affected surface of the earth in the pre flood, and 1000 year reign of Jesus? Ask around, if you think otherwise.
Nope, turns out you did concoct it all from whole cloth. Too bad people still laugh at you -- the joke will be on us if you actually get it right.
