Re: Adam has to be real.

Psalm 139:13 is a staement of God foreknowing David before he was even born. I think Psalm 139:13-14 goes beyond foreknowledge 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know ...

Re: Adam has to be real.

My point is that whether or not Adam was the first man who ever lived doesn't matter in this context. Genesis 2 says that Adam was specially created for a purpose. God created him, breathed life into his nostrils, and placed him in the garden. I can't see how that leaves open the possibility that A...

Re: Adam has to be real.

Reread Genesis 2. Adam was formed from the dust, then God breathed into his nostrils. Then God placed the man in the garden. Sounds like Adam was a special creation. Whether or not one believes in evolution, it seems that Adam was a special creation. Let me reiterate that I am not a Theistic Evolut...

Re: Adam has to be real.

So did God give him one for decoration? :P Well... the OP did ask... How do theistic evolution people try and get around stuff like Adam? So I'll bite... :) The famous belly button question comes down to this... When Scripture says that God formed Adam from dust in Genesis 2:7, does that in and of ...

Re: Adam has to be real.

Hmmmm, did adam have a belly button? y:-? n5uujMb_hbo Well... according to the attached video, the reason Mr. Lunt did not have a belly button was because he was a gourd. And since a gourd is technically a fruit then Mr. Lunt would not be expected to have a belly button. Now the Biblical Adam was a...

Re: Adam has to be real.

And since it mentions the earth being formed out of water through which the former world perished the only other flood we can find is Genesis 1:2 which you acknowledge the earth has water on it,yet reject a flood? There is no flood mentioned in Genesis 1:2. There is no world that was destroyed by a...

Re: Adam has to be real.

First off let me say that this not be a reason to divide us as Christians. Amen! :) But I'm trying to understand how you claim 2nd Peter 3:5 is reffering to Genesis 1,then in 2nd Peter 3:6 claim these waters that flooded the heavens(cosmos)and the earth and that the earth was formed out of changes ...

Re: Adam has to be real.

The earth was formed out of water in Genesis 1 as you seem to have acknowledged and not Noah's flood like others overlook to claim this is talking about Noah's flood and it was formed out of the waters that caused the former world to perish,look at verse 6 therefore it is still pointing us to Genes...

Re: Adam has to be real.

Some brief thoughts on the relationship of the Gap Theory to the Original Post. From the Original Post It feels like there is so much evidence against the world-wide flood and a before flood world. One of the issues the OP is struggling with is the apparent conflict between Scripture and Science reg...

Re: Adam has to be real.

Guys I'm not going to lie I'm starting to crave to the world. It feels like there is so much evidence against the world-wide flood and a before flood world. I can't take on theistic evolution though because Jesus Christ, his genealogy can be traced all the way back to Adam. I honestly don't know wh...

Re: How do you view heaven?

That was the original purpose for Eden. As I've been deep diving Genesis 1-3 recently, one of the significant topics that inevitably comes up is "what was the purpose of "The Garden of Eden?" And I am convinced that The Garden of Eden "Paradise" was a localized preview in M...

Re: How do you view heaven?

Wright is one of my favorite theologians. I think that sometimes we forget that this HERE, Our Planet Earth, is where God has always wanted us to be. Yes, when we die our spirit returns to God BUT come the resurrection, we will live here on a New Earth and we will be able to travel between that New...

Re: What is the aim of the mankind ?
