Well, maybe I HAD to look at it from VERY CLOSE?

Adam was under the Edenic Covenant... which was conditional on him obeying God, which he did not do. Then came the Adamic Covenant which was unconditional....Genesis 3:17, the foreshadowing of Jesus.

I'm not getting all my alerts...I almost missed this. I don't think good and evil are subjective....I think everything is objective. It doesn't take much to know if something is good or evil. I mean both morally evil and naturally evil....I do have a different definition of evil than some here...

Maybe it CANNOT be reconciled?

Yes. What we need here is the definition of: sin transgression iniquity I'm going to start a thread on this later when I'm home... (unless you care to).

Agreed. He said: Lord make me an instrument of your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith Where there is despair, hope Where there is darkness, light And where there is sadness, joy O divine master grant that I may not so much...

Don't be confused. Adam and Eve were the first man and woman. God made them good...they already had the good. God told them not to eat of the tree so that they would not know evil. After them, every man that was born, was born with the sin nature. We all have some good in us (contrary to what...

This has nothing to do with the Mosaic Law which did not exist at this time. God had given no such Law at this time. Abraham was under no such Law at this time. Abraham obeyed the voice of God and in so doing was obeying what later would be in the Mosaic Law. Stranger Hi Stranger, I...

What a nice post! Good to see you here Netchaplain.

OK. But think of this, or maybe you have. Everything falls into one or the other category...it's either Good or its Evil. Nothing falls inbetween. I can't think of anything that is neutral... Can you??

yes. We do know you two don't agree.

The very fact that evil exists means that God allows it. Nothing can exist unless God so wills it. That's what I said. Let me just add this: There is moral evil and natural evil. Moral evil is what you're speaking to...when we sin we do evil. Natural evil is more what I'm speaking...

Mathew 6:3-5 3“But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. 5“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to...

I think I explained it in my post. Evil is not a something to me,.,,it's a "someone". It's satan,,,it's the enemy and his influence on things. God equals all the good. Satan equals all the bad and/or evil. I'm just not addressing the fact that evil is disobedience to God... of course it is...

The tree of the K of G and E was both, thus the name. The fruit of that tree was evil fruit. God had created A and E good; everything He created in the Garden He declared to be good. So...A and E already knew the GOOD. They had no evil in them. But the tree had both good in it AND evil in...

Well U, now you're speaking my language! Of course God wants to see who we will follow...and the one we follow is the one we'll go with for eternity. BTW, I don't accept evil = disobedience. What causes the motive inside of us then? Disobedience is sin. Sin is evil. But not the kind of evil...

Why do you translate the Lord as Yaweh and also the LORD as Yaweh? (highlighted in red).

Has anyone mentioned that God ALLOWS evil? I have no scripture for this. I know God is a God of Love so I don't understand why He would,,,but I don't dwell on this anymore - I used to when I was a new Christian.

Actually, Aspen, CREATE means to make something out of nothing. We use this word incorrectly and have lost its true meaning. MAN, for instance, cannot create...but we like to say he does because some persons are creative, so we say they "created" something when really they didn't because they...
