I totally rewrote this post ... got way off topic... sorry. Rushing Yes, JudgeRightly, I thought I remembered you questioning whether what Adam said was present tense or not. I do understand when something is quoted as if it was spoken at the moment it took place versus when Moses relates...

Hello out there. Are just bots stopping to fact check? Just wondering LOL. Some of the TOL members interested in, at least, checking out my threads would better understand from where I'm coming when I write responses if they checked out this thread. A number of my conclusions are based on this...

Guess I should have said: IT/Adam's words were quoted as if Adam was making the statement exactly when things were happening. Of course, I know Moses wrote and informed us about what Adam had said long ago, but it was quoted as I've stated above. Here is a simple example. True Moses was...

I believe the narrative in Ps 82 makes these points clear: God is the judge. Satan is standing before God pleading his own defense at this own trial. His defense is this: God you are an unjust judge ... the reason being that you accept "these persons" who are needy, poor, fatherless, in physical...

Derf, I am sorry to say I have not had time to post. My life!!! So busy! Also I do not follow 7djengo7. When I first returned here to start posting again I ran across about 4 individuals who really were confrontational. They immediately labeled me as this and that and when one finally starting...

To me "of this age" refers to the time between the Fall and expulsion from the Garden and to this day. The sons of this age refers to mortal sons of Adam. Yet, there is another "age" coming. The age of the Resurrection. After the resurrection of those who are worthy, things will be different...

Well, yes... God had a language of some sort. In Fact, the WORD was God and was with God and God spoke things into existence. QUESTION: But does that rule out that humanity didn't? The human language began with Gen. 2:19. Moses pointed out the exact time this began. 19And out of the ground...

Derf said: This doesn't seem to allow for the other interpretation that creates men in the garden besides Adam and Eve. My conclusions: God did not create other men in the Garden. The LORD did not need to breathe into the nostrils of any other...

How do you delete an accidental "reply"???

Is there a better punch line?

No, I'm not confusing the two. So glad you asked this question. It gives me a chance to share more about how I see Gen. 1,2,3. Of course, I differ with some things I've typically heard. Here goes: PART ONE: FIRST ABOUT GEN ONE AND TWO ... THEN ABOUT GEN.3:20 at the bottom. Gen...

ONE pink elephant. At least, that is what the Irishman said.

Why were Mankind and Satan both told to partake of the dust of the ground [Elements from which creation was formed] ? It was God's way to get rid of Satan and lost mankind. So goes the cursed elements of this world so goes lost angels and humanity. God will renew the world and death and hell...

Great. The way to find the appositives for the words "gods" and the antecedent of the pronoun "you" is important. And finding these is totally based on understanding the content of the event. First to make it easier I will just say I agree with you that gods refers to angels. And Ps 82 makes it...

God called this firmament boundary - Heaven. My thoughts and questions about the possibilities of the firmament / Heaven are these: That firmament named Heaven is a boundary between men and angels but it is also a place - a realm - where things could exist. Perhaps a place for The LORD...

Hello every one. I love symbolism. Since water, waters, to me have to do with measures of life. Just as Jesus told the woman at the well that he had an additional measure of "water" to give her from which she would never thirst again. He was talking about eternal life/waters. So when God...

YES! You've got it. There is only ONE LORD/YHWH! One God. One image representing HIM! The name given to the image/visible presence belonging to the one God is LORD. God introduced that name to Moses as HE passed by in all HIS Glory. Yes, yes, yes. God's presence was given a name and not just I...

Derf, you had suggested this in your post: Lack of reproduction by no means eliminates the possibility of a being being a sexual being (no typo there). I assumed the beings mentioned were angels who were not able to reproduce. Right? Well, I haven't studied that issue. Is there...

Adam was charged by God with creating language ... naming things. He did quite a bit of that in the beginning. Moses was telling us what Adam said the name Eve meant. Adam changed Woman's name to Eve and he is the one who stated: She WAS the mother of all the living. She actually had not had...

Adam said it .... and he was in the present. Just saying.
