†. Gen 3:1b . . He said to the woman,
A characteristic of Eden's world was not only a lack of human death, but also
a lack of fear. Man feared neither himself, nor the other creatures, nor the
dark, nor the boogie man.
The woman displayed no recorded astonishment whatsoever when the
Serpent...

There are people upset with creation's God for not stepping in and
preventing the so-called original sin. But they need to remember that man
holds the rank of a king on this earth and has the God-given authority to
conduct his own affairs as a sovereign (Gen 1:26, Gen 1:28, and Ps 82:6)...
You must be nice to be pretty. Nice and pretty. And there is no real laughter without a smile. Smile and laughter.
There is no such thing as good work without a perfect heart. So there must be a Christian profile behind for the comment to be Christian. On this board most profiles are anonymous...

†. Gen 2:23b . .This one shall be called Woman, for from man was
she taken.
The Hebrew word for "woman" is from 'ishshah (ish-shaw') which is the
feminine form of 'iysh (eesh) which means a human being as an individual
or as a male person. So 'ishshah doesn't indicate another species of homo...

†. Gen 2:18 . .Yhvh God said: It's not good for Adam to be solitary; I
will make a fitting helper for him.
"a fitting helper" is from two Hebrew words. "Fitting" is from neged
(neh'-ghed) which means: a front, i.e. part opposite; specifically a
counterpart, or mate. The word for "helper" is...
You once where a flower, tender and bright.
Once a tender sight, before came the night.
You once were a living breathing being,
Inspiring those looking up at you and dreaming,
But now you’ve changed your glory, lost your life.
Now the walking dead, buried under pain and strife.
Those you once...

The ban on the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, was tempered by a
carte blanche to eat fruits from all the rest of the trees; including the tree of
life. So it's not like God pigeonholed Adam and forced him to eat from the
wrong tree in order to survive. Earlier, in Gen 1:29, God gave...

†. Gen 2:10b-11 . . and it then divides and becomes four branches.
he name of the first is Pishon, the one that winds through the
whole land of Havilah where there is gold,
The Pishon river has yet to be positively identified.
The Hebrew word for "Havilah" is Chaviylah (khav-ee-law') which...

†. Gen 2:8a . .Yhvh God planted a garden in Eden,
The remainder of Earth's flora was planted in a large scale, landscaping
manner. But the garden was specially prepared for Man like someone might
build a home for their family. It's true that Man is a creature and Yhvh isn't
his actual...
Almost right, always wrong.
Almost there, forever gone.
Almost free, in darkness chained.
Almost changed, but forever the same.
Almost saved is always doomed.
Almost there is never in bloom.
Almost won, is lost, lost, lost!
Almost free comes with a dreadful cost.
God, we live on lines of almost...

†. Gen 2:6 . . a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole
face of the ground.
The word "mist" is from 'ed (ade). It's a very rare word and appears only
one more time in the whole Bible in the book of Job.
"See, God is greater than we can know; the number of His years cannot be...
Life use to be simple. Emotions clear.
Friends were friends, nothing to fear.
The kiss of a friend, the shake of a hand.
They were all signs of a friend, an honest man.
But now I look in your face and wonder what you hide.
Wonder what you really think, when you confide.
Now I no longer trust...
There once was a battlefield where all was silent.
From foxholes and ditches rose the heads of men defiant.
The weathered general looked around, looked hard, looked long.
Said to his men, There’s nothing wrong except there’s nothing wrong.
Not long after, they found themselves pinned down...

†. Gen 2:1-3 . .The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their
array. On the seventh day God finished the work that He had been
doing, and He ceased on the seventh day from all the work that He
had done. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy,
because on it God ceased from...

About the singing of the Flamenco style of Spain, it's to simulate cries of woe, meant to be very sad sounding, and thus loud at times. Ah..ouh..uw..ouiee...is like a cry of pain. (I speculate that when the Islamic Moors invaded Spain back in...

†. Gen 1:29-30 . . God said: See, I give you every seed-bearing
plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-
bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. And to all the animals
on land, to all the winged creatures of the sky, and to everything
that creeps on earth, in which...

†. Gen 1:27a . . So God created man in His own image, in the image
of God He created him;
If humans were paternal sons of the Most High-- viz: if people were His
biological offspring --they'd be eternal beings like Himself because God is an
eternal being; i.e. like begets like. But humans...
There once was a question: a question which was to us posed:
Who shall separate us from the love of God? Whom do you suppose?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are...

†. Gen 1:26 . . And God said: Let us make Man in our image,
after our likeness.
The Hebrew word for "man" is 'adam (aw-dawm') which means: ruddy. It's a
very common label in the Bible for human beings.
Webster's defines "ruddy" as having a healthy reddish color. But in this case
ruddy is a...
Before the storms hit, before the doubts assail;
A tiny boy in the world who on his own will fail.
Unaware of what will come and has been,
Reaching up to hold on Daddy’s big hand.
Childhood trust, before one becomes a man,
And finds things aren’t always what they seem.
All alone, a frightened...
