The text God's Garden can be interpreted as the author proclaiming God's authority over the garden, stressing the situation as much as to name it God's Garden. It's origin can be read completely terrestrial to this world from His seven day creation plainly explained by God's word.

You are also OK to believe what you believe now, but I respectfully disagree with your theory. Salvation is main reason for the bible, our understanding takes a second seat to that. Let iron sharpen iron when discerning the texts, but let us be know by our love for one another. I see human...

I see two kingdoms, the kingdom of God and Satan's kingdom. Every created being falls into one or the other. It is God alone who is sovereign over both. Shalom

You use your worldly logic to explain away God's obvious text in the Bible, His word. proven by 10 verses still waiting. Why would you use logic to understand God, and not the bible? God is Spirit. He can not be contained by your logic, but by the texts He gives us His nature is revealed. The...

Genesis 6:5-6 “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” The first have of this verse betters my...

Fact. Evil exists. Fact. We were all created sinners thereby we are all evil. Fact. God does use evil for His purposes. Look at what He did to Egypt. Do you think Pharaoh would call the plagues good? How about the death of his first born, was that good for Pharaoh...

Wow. Actually the first I have heard it. At first I laughed, cardinal of me I guess. I believe we should pray for all sinners towards repentance. It will definitely ruffle a few feathers. The prayer is profitable, but the slogan may be counter productive.

God is good because light conquers darkness. God is good because it is the wicked He hates. God is good because it is the meek who inherit the earth. God is good because there is a plan for this eternal damnation. Separate from God? Never. Tell me is your love for this world or God? God...

I think you miss the point that God is Love. God is eternal life. God is also just, for He despises evil. He is holy. Do not leave your first love. For I do not love evil, and the creator is not the creation. You stand judging God or that which He created? I implore you in the love of...

If God is the only good, then what is all of creation? I'll give you a hint. We were not all created good, but created - - - - (it's four letters) :rolleyes: Joy is a state of being, and it is God who sends the joy, as well as sends the calamities for our terror. Now heres the big...

I will repost Mark 10:18 Luke 18:19 God is the only good. We are created. As sinners we are condemned to death unless born again, a baptism of faith, through Jesus Christ. Shalom

Let me also remind the brethren that these concepts are states of being, as evil is a state of being. Aside from God, we are in a perpetual state of evil. Evil does exist, evil didn't spring up from nowhere. Satan was the first to sin, whatever the sin was does not matter. The bible with its...

The reality is this. God condemns sin. Sin is evil. It is God who laid the foundation for the ability of sin and evil by issuing the ability of free will and giving the law. We do not worship an evil deity, for God is the only good. It is God who created Satan, and not the latter, or so to...

What about peace joy happiness longsuffering goodness faith meekness These are also concepts. Did God not create these also?

Now for the omniscient description of God. Job 37:16 Psalm 147:5 1 Samuel 2:3 Isaiah 55:9 Job 28:44 1 John 3:19-20 Hebrews 4:13 Isaiah 46:9 Matthew 10:30 Psalm 139:4 If anyone believes God is not omniscient please first explain the meaning of these verses, then give supporting verses showing...

I have posted ten verses supporting God's omniscient nature. God, being omniscient, foreknew all things before He created anything including Satan. To say any different would be saying God didn't know what He was creating. Are you willing to make that claim about God? Everything I stated is...

Funny you make my determinations for me, do you pick the clothes I wear in the morning also? Again I have seen no scripture supporting what you claim, I have provided plenty, and can continue to do so. Mine is not to blame the Father, or even Satan for that matter, only to understand God is...

I understand the view of the two creation theory, I simply don't fully believe it. You mention apostles but no verses. For the king of Tyre the comparison between the two is drawn, (Satan and the king) but the subject is the earthly king.

Now as for John's texts, John 8:44 1John 3:8 I see the garden with Adam and Eve still naked in chapter two. No children, no transgression. That, to me, would be the beginning. I will agree Satan is the first to sin, with Eve then Adam following. It is God who planted the tree, and God who...
