  • 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.

Was Adam created outside the garden?

You are correct.

In Gen. 2:7 it says "the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground....

Then in v. 8 it says "And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

So man was formed first, then the garden planted to be his home.

Again in v. 15 it repeats: The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden....

Since God had to put him in the garden, he was not created in the garden.

WHat happened to the animals after Adam and Eve were banished from Eden?

Were the animals cast out along with them?
Were there already animals outside of Eden?
Were the animals outside of Eden the same as the animals in Eden, or were they different?
Were the animals free to come and go from the Garden of Eden to the rest of the world?

The bible makes no comment on any of these questions. So you can dream up any answer you like and no one can say you are wrong.
