    Genesis 1 Q&A

    i think that essentially, yes -- Adam willingly chose death so that she would not be alone in it. because he loved her, he gave himself for her.

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    Romans 5 tells us that sin and, poignantly, death entered the world through Adam. In Genesis 3, with the cursing of the dust. 1 Corinthians 15:26 calls death an 'enemy' Shouldn't we say therefore it's error to think that God created a death system before the fall and called that system with no...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    In the big bang model the universe begins infinily dense and becomes more sparse as God stretches out the heavens. Photonic light has a finite wavelength related to Planck's constant. So there is necessarily a period of time between the beginning and the point where the density of the universe...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    Cathode ray tubes have electron emitters, sending an electron beam ((not photons)) though a controlled magnetic field, striking a surface that then emits photons. Space is infinitely curved in the center of a black hole, and moderately curved near less massive objects like simple stars. In...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    No. Gravity affects space, and magnetic fields can affect the medium photons pass through.

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    I'm sorry that I misunderstood and was trying to correct what I saw as error, not to ridicule you. I'm not great with personal skills. The quintessential QM demonstration of existence depending on conscious observation is a photon in a double slit. Photons are massless; you could say they are...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    sorry if i've misunderstood you, but.. in the context of replying to whether creation is ex-nihilo or not, you said: and this gave me the impression you were saying creation was not ex-nihilo, but rather, that the energy pre-existed God's creation, and His 'creative act' was just to mold it...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    um, God made atoms. so if 'most christians' believe atoms existed before God, before "the beginning" -- then 'most christians' are wrong. when you're trying to figure out what the Bible means by saying "that which is unseen" then your first course of action should be to find everything the...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    of course most of my comments here were concerning ch. 2-4, and we'll get to them in more detail later. but let me just address this: Here's the opening of Genesis 3:22 in Hebrew -- ויאמר ׀ יהוה אלהים הן האדם היה כאחד ממנו here's a breakdown of the first few words: וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ And said...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    that's nonsense, little bro. the context here is a courtroom, not a laboratory. just as God says to Satan, 'because you have done this' and pronounces His judgement, when He says to Adam 'because you listened to the voice of your wife' it is not causal but evidentiary.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    dust you are, and to dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:19) Adam & his wife have eaten poison and are full of death. God pronounces the repercussion of this to Adam, saying, he is dust, and he will return to dust. And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    you're contradicting scripture and accusing God of evil. you're repeating "the lie" of Satan - just like the Israelites in the wilderness who said that God had brought them out of Egypt expressly in order to murder them, their children and their animals. you say God created Adam expressly in...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    "not willingly" is a contrast. it indicates that "willingly" exists.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    1 Timothy 2:14 tells us Adam was not deceived. that means his wife did not deceive him. that means she did not coerce him to eat. your interpretation is contradicting scripture. Woman answers to God, confessing that she was deceived by the Serpent. God curses the serpent. Adam answers...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    All of Genesis is pictures of Christ. The whole Bible is. See John 5:39 IMO until we are seeing Him testified of in the narrative, we are not fully understanding what the narrative is really about. They are real, literal events - and they are portraying aspects of our Lord all of it is like...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    There are reasons to keep flocks besides eating them. We have to understand why they are making an offering. Is this the first time they have done this, in Genesis 4? I do not think so. I think this is commemorating the first passover, when God kills a Lamb to make tunics for their parents. I...

    Genesis 1 Q&A

    I don't know that I'd call 'gaining firsthand experience in committing sin and experiencimg death' becoming more sophisticated. Every indication is that Adam was/is extremely intelligent and wise. Satan could not deceive him. He named every living soul apart from himself. He recognized and...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Cains answer to God: Genesis 4:9 "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?" Result: Cain is cursed. Woman's answer to God: Genesis 3:13 "The Serpent deceived me, and I ate." Result: The Serpent cursed, Woman not cursed. WHY?
