My Eve Challenge

[AV1611VET]

Why does 'thanks' have to be run through Lord Jesus Christ?

The prayer formula is:

Pray to God the Father
Through the Lord Jesus Christ
By the Holy Spirit

Jesus is our Great Intercessor and Mediator.

And how should apocalyptic (hidden) truth be handled?

If its 'hidden', then its existence is just by means of belief.

I'm thinking of a number between one and ten: what's that number?

I don't know .. but if I ask you, then there's a good chance you'll realise the answer in your description .. after all, that's what you just did when you asked about that 'number' .. I know what you meant when you used the word 'number' .. (otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue about what you were asking), so we'd agree that at least, that that 'number' is real during that particular interchange.

This is how language works y'know .. even when its language from the Bible (for eg). The meanings create reality for all of us, as we move through a conversation. Most of us completely ignore that though .. its like a total blind spot we've all developed for some odd reason, but its abundantly objectively evidenced.

I'm holding an apocalyptic truth.

And if I want you to know it, I ... as the holder of that truth ... am the only one who can reveal it to you.

Yes, sure .. its a truth of your own choosing alright .. until you realise it by using words that convey its meaning in ways I can understand (and/or verify for myself).

Thank you for that ..
So, does the opposite of 'thanks' also run the same way?
Eg: if I say something nasty, does that also go through the Great Intercessor and Mediator?

It already went through Him… while He was on the cross.

But I haven't said it yet ..

 

[inquiring mind]

But I haven't said it yet ..

Give 'Thanks' then.

I think it represents the patriarchal notions of a given society. It's probably based on what would have been a common observation that men are often times bigger and stronger than women.

Kind of also explains why Adam wasn’t the one to bite the apple.

Give 'Thanks' to myself .. before I've even said it?

Its completely sexist right from the outset!
Condemns women to an eternity of inescapable subservience, guilt and disrespect!?
Yet Mary (for eg) is worshipped (for some obscure reason)?

Bone; a substructure that reveals species. Adam named the animals looking for her. The rib cage protects the internal organs especially the heart. One of Adam's ribs is made into a wife. It probably hurt since God put Adam to sleep before it happened. She wasn't like all the other animals. Adam seemed to have been through a trial of some sort, At last bone of his bone ! Rib cage ...crib cage....i dunno

It was sexist for the ancient world to recognize that men were bigger and stronger than women?

I like what one preacher pointed out.

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

God parades the animals past Adam, so Adam could name them; and in so doing, put the desire for a wife in his mind.

Adam: "Mr & Mrs Gorilla; Mr & Mrs Giraffe; Mr & Mrs Horse ... hmmm ... something's missing!"

Why? was their eyesight that poor?

 

[OldWiseGuy]

The creation of Eve mirrored the creation of Lucifer; God's 'special angel'. Unlike the other angels Lucifer was created out of the very substance of God, his 'rib'.

 

[Hans Blaster]

What "eyes"?

It's EVE, not EYE.

Eve ... as in Adam's wife.

We'll I guess that explains the verse. I think I need my eyes checked as I added a descender to the "v" as a challenge on "eyes" would actually fit the purpose of this board.

Do that mean the substance of God is not pure and incorruptible?

Lucifer also had the autonomous parts as well but it's beauty, brains, and talent came from God. It then 'corrupted' all those God-given qualities.

Are you saying Lucifer was a mix of the substance of God with some impurities ('autonomous parts'?), or that the substance of God is corruptible?

God deemed Lucifer's actions corrupt. Without God's judgment those actions would have been 'amoral'.

Lucifer sounds like he was hit with some kind of random mutation, perhaps?
