    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Sorry i didn’t mean to come across as belittling you, I was just surprised! First of all, Peter didn’t use the word Hades there; he wrote tartaro’o. That’s not hell, aka the Grave. And secondly, those in the Grave, ie., are dead mankind. They are not judged by what they did in the past...

    He did, only because he sinned. He made a choice — the wrong one

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    The Bible says this. 2 Peter 2:4. Peter is referencing the “sons of the true God” in Genesis 6:1-4… which Jude also does, vs.6 And they will, at Jehovah’s appointed time.

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    You answered your own question! You said “like the angels”! Are the angels immortal? No they’re not, they can be killed. (The Scriptures even tell us that the disobedient angels (demons) will be destroyed.) But angels can live forever, if the ones who are faithful, stay faithful. I’m amazed...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    What?! I thought you knew the Scriptures? Jesus did. Perfectly, under difficult trials. (We have the account in Luke 4 that Satan himself even tried. But he didn’t stop with one try…. Luke 4:13, “…until another convenient time.”) Then tell me, why did Adam — and his descendants, up to 9...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    There are no viable DNA links in fossils! Come on.

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    You mean like how most didn’t accept Jesus? Because to many, he started a cult religion; it could be classified as such. Did you never read Daniel 12, ‘In the final part of the days true knowledge will become abundant’? It wouldn’t. So maybe it’s not the Holy Spirit… rather, another spirit...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    No, I’m giving you reasons to accept the text. The explanations are not improbable, when precedent is available. Courts accept evidence that have precedent, all the time.

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Aren’t we to “hate what is bad”? Although it shouldn’t include people; but hating teachings that alienate people from God, such as hellfire, or that misrepresent Him, is entirely appropriate. What did Jesus state, @ Luke 10:21? To whom does God, Jesus’ Father, choose to reveal His Word? And...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    I have time to discuss another supposed discrepancy… The Greek term used here, may be rendered “chief priest.” That’s why Mark 2:26 says in the GOD'S WORD® Translation “Haven't you ever read how he went into the house of God when Abiathar was chief priest and ate the bread of the...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    RedFan, I hope this finds you well, my cousin. I’d like to address this first seeming discrepancy (and the others as I get the time).… It has been suggested that Jehoiada may have had two names, as is the case with others in the Bible. When you compare Matthew 9:9 with Mark 2:12, is it a...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Which theory? CD (common descent) evolution, the concept proposing we all have a common ancestor, a “LUCA”? That one, yes It sure does contradict! But the empirical evidence, what they’ve observed so far, like with MRSA, Darwin’s finches, the LTEE by Lenski, or the Drosophila experiments… none...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Hey, RedFan, hope you’re doing well…. They didn’t have to get old before procreating. For instance, prior to the Flood, we’re only given the line to Noah. IOW, those fathers had other children. And nowhere does the account say that Enosh, Kenan, Ma·haʹla·le·el, Ja’red, Enoch, Methuselah...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    We have no idea of the capabilities of near-perfect DNA. To claim it’s “too” anything, is to imply we know more about genetic science than we really do. There is so much more to learn! Why does the Bible state Adam & the subsequent generations descending from him — up to nine generations...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Well, we have Matthew 19:4-6. Jesus was directly speaking about Adam & Eve, quoting from Genesis.

    Anybody else?

    The Bible says the soul is mortal. It has always said that. Please, look at those Scriptures with a Lexicon / interlinear. At Genesis 2:7, when Adam was created, he “became” a soul; he wasn’t given one. And when he rebelled, God told him (at Genesis 3:19): “You will return to the ground, for...

    Anybody else?

    That’s why i asked you to use a Lexicon. So please, it would help you to gain accurate knowledge. In some of those verses I posted (and others), which in a few English versions even say “corpse”, the Hebrew word is ‘ne•pes’” , “soul”.

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Hello Wrangler. You keep posting it, but don’t seem to realize it’s importance…. Yes, He did back then. But what does God command - present tense - today for Christians?? Follow & obey Jesus. —John 15:12,14,17-19. Yes, it’s this very topic that spawns much of the world’s hatred during...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Boy, aren’t you trying to be slick! We don’t use that Scripture, to explain where we get our name. Jesus said that, not Jehovah. You didn’t know that? You did….. For those who’d like to know… The name Jehovah’s Witnesses derives from Isaiah 43:10-12. I would suggest, if you have questions...
