Taking Questions on Genesis

[doubtingmerle]

And for the record, I have no doubt they knew which of the two were telling the truth.

Even a dog understands "NO!"

How could Adam and eve possibly have known who was telling the truth? They did my have a king James bible.

One voice said "no, don't eat" and one said "no, don't listen to the first". Two beings said different nos.

They listened to a voice that said no, it just was not the voice you wanted. .

 

[doubtingmerle]

Yup.Nope.

I don't believe penguins existed back then.

But if they did, they were some kind of tropical species.

Wait, tropical birds evolved into penguins in 5000 years? That is what I call accelerated evolution.

Are you serious with this, Merle?

1. Adam comes on the scene and talks with God.
2. God parades animals past Adam to see what Adam would name them.
3. God puts Adam to sleep, takes one of his ribs, and makes Eve.
4. Adam awakes and God presents Eve to him for marriage.
5. Later a dragon shows up, and you're telling me Adam didn't know who was in charge?

How long did it take the polar bear to come on the scene?

There were no polar bears prior to the Flood.

 

[AV1611VET]

ooops......
Time for prayer.

For me or Bear?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

For me or Bear?

I'd rather not say now..... I'm not at all sure it can be explained or revealed or when it can be.

I asked you how Adam knew who was telling the truth. Being in charge is not the same thing as telling the truth.

Besides, If these things had happened and Adam suspected YWHY was powerful, how did he know voice #2 was not more powerful?

For all the animals , including penguins and polar bears,
it took a lot less time than practically anyone realizes.

You're funnin' me, aintcha?

 

[doubtingmerle]

You're funnin' me, aintcha?

Nope.

Might does not make right. Even if YHWY had proven he was mightier, that does not make him righter.

 

[AV1611VET]

You're funnin' me, aintcha?

Nope.

I guess I'll have to leave you in Wonderland then.

Melchisedec. Of all I have read and understand about him the only conclusion I can come to is that he was or is: Jesus Christ. What do you think Vet?

Absolutely!

There are a lot of pro & con sites ... but we're on the side of the pros!

 

[Ancient of Days]

"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."

Genesis and Hebrews are my two favorite books.

 

[Ancient of Days]

Why do you think God created man? I know we were created to worship him but sometimes I ponder what inspired him to create us...

I always pondered it, too...one of the enigmas that led me to disbelief....

 

[Ancient of Days]

Sorry to hear that.

 

[46AND2]

Sorry to hear that.

It was one of many things...quite a while ago now...

Just don't see what possible reason an omnipotent, eternal being would have.
