341 | Genesis 3:14 | Gen 3:14 | srbaegon | 210730 | ||
No, it is not necessary to suppose standing upright. I was simply giving the full quote in its context. I do not think the article proves the Bible account. There is nothing in Genesis 3 that would cause us to think there could not have been a member of the snake family with leg appendages--working or not. Steve |

342 | Is there any scripture regarding whether | Gen 3:15 | srbaegon | 179029 | ||
Hello Edwin, God cannot sin. He is utterly holy. If the Lord Jesus could have sinned, then he could cease to be God. That is absurd. Also, consider Heb 4:15 (ESV)-- For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. The Greek construction of the phrase "without sin" is literally "sin apart" and constitutes a complete inability to take part in anything sinful. Steve |

343 | How many children did Adam and Eve have? | Gen 3:20 | srbaegon | 181594 | ||
Hello shirlrogers, We know Eve had more than two children: Gen 4:25 (ESV) And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him." Also, Cain's wife must have been his sister since no other people were bearing children at the time. Steve |

344 | "Flaming sword" or 'blazing drought'? | Gen 3:24 | srbaegon | 232306 | ||
Hi, I follow your reasoning. I have not attempted a word study on the subject to know if the Hebrew extrapolation fits. If it does, then the drying up of the abundant watering could fit. Steve |

345 | Who was seths mother? | Gen 5:4 | srbaegon | 210016 | ||
Hello beingther, If God had that many people after Adam was created, they would have been born from Adam and Eve. Therefore they would have been siblings. Steve |

346 | Do babies go to heaven or hell? | Gen 5:24 | srbaegon | 154023 | ||
Hello Mark, I think you misunderstand imputation, or I have misunstood your remarks. All babies have imputed sin because they die physically (see Rom 5:12-13). If they did not have imputed sin, they would not die in infancy. What you have described is personal sin which brings God's wrath upon us. Steve |

347 | Do babies go to heaven or hell? | Gen 5:24 | srbaegon | 154063 | ||
Hi Mark, I get confused about whom I'm talking to as well. :-) "God counts our sin as having been committed by Jesus" I would refrain from going beyond 'became sin for us' otherwise I agree with your paragraph. "Adam started it, and we all continue ourselves to sin. Even babies are self-centered, and will steal, and defy authority. Sin kills. Even babies may die." People died physically because of imputed sin through Adam. Personal sin was not imputed because there was no law to break. I think that's the difference between us. Steve |

348 | Do babies go to heaven or hell? | Gen 5:24 | srbaegon | 154071 | ||
Hi Mark, "My understanding is that Adam could only reproduce people like himself, and since he had become spiritually dead through trespass, all his children were spiritually dead as well. Being born spiritually dead, it is only a matter of time until we, like Adam, sin." You have just defined inherited sin which results in spiritual death. "You're stretching my mind :-)" Happy to oblige. :-) May I recommend a free resource? The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology by W. Robert Cook http://www.moulton.to/theology/default.htm Check out chapters 25-28. Steve |

349 | What do the 120 years pertain to? | Gen 6:3 | srbaegon | 56047 | ||
Hello Teacherorr I am of the opinion that the 120 years was speaking of average longevity after the flood akin to Psalm 90:10 (written later when the average lifespan had decreased even more). Steve |

350 | God, Satan, and Job's sons discuss dad? | Gen 6:4 | srbaegon | 58603 | ||
Hello wakesteve It would certainly lessen the misunderstandings, but frankly, few have the years of time required to do justice to the language study needed. Steve |

351 | God, Satan, and Job's sons discuss dad? | Gen 6:4 | srbaegon | 58607 | ||
Hello Ron I agree that there are many helps, and I use several of them. But to tell you the truth, until I started trying to learn Greek on my own, I thought I knew something and did a fair job with it. Now I know better. The person I responded to did not appear to be interested in a literal English translation but only the original languages. That's why I answered the way I did. I've heard good things about Green's translation. Steve |

352 | God alone | Gen 6:4 | srbaegon | 154996 | ||
Hello Dean, I don't think you are stretching things too far. Angels are indeed moral agents. The fall of stars of heaven mentioned in Rev 12:4 is often viewed as an historical event when these angels followed Satan in his rebellion. Steve |

353 | How does foreknowledge preclude free? | Gen 6:6 | srbaegon | 118481 | ||
Hello bstudent, Concerning God's foreknowing: Isaiah 46:8-11 (ESV) "Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, [9] remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, [10] declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,' [11] calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it. Regarding God's foreknowing and foreordaining an evil thing: Acts 2:22-23 (ESV) "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— [23] this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

354 | How does foreknowledge preclude free? | Gen 6:6 | srbaegon | 118489 | ||
Hello bstudent, As Tim Moran has pointed out, foreknowledge and foreordination are separate issues that can be confused. You are correct that we proceed with caution. However, foreknowing does not logically lead to foreordaining. I offer the following: Luke 10:13 (ESV) "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Here is a clear example of God knowing what would happen under a set of conditions, yet it never does. This demonstrates that God knows all--both the real and the potential. Can you demonstrate Scripturally that God does not always choose to know the future? I haven't seen it, although I haven't read all your posts either. Steve |

355 | How does foreknowledge preclude free? | Gen 6:6 | srbaegon | 118591 | ||
Hello Dan, You said: "I would interpret Jesus statement at Luke 10:13 as hyperbole, in the sense of Luke 18:25" and then gave an explanation based from your theological view rather than let the text speak for itself making your assumption invalid. Concerning Abraham, you asked: 1. "Would God have made that statement if he knew in advance that Abraham would obey this command?" I don't see why not. It's a statement of assurance in Abraham's faith spoken for his benefit. 2. "Would it have been an honest test?" Definitely. Tests are designed to prove the character of the person (1 Cor 10:13; James 1:2-4; 1 Pet 1:6-7). Concerning Gen 18:20-21: Again this was stated for another's (Abraham) sake. God gave Abraham an opportunity to show his heart by interceding for the cities on behalf of any righteous. Let's face facts. The only Scripture which you can possibly consider using is Gen 6:6-7. All the others deal with God explaining His actions for the benefit of men. Again I quote: "Here again, this indicates that man’s actions are not predestined by God." And, yet, I showed you a passage in Acts that stated otherwise. How is this resolved? Steve |

356 | How does foreknowledge preclude free? | Gen 6:6 | srbaegon | 118594 | ||
Hello Dan, Be careful of using the word "chance." Proverbs 16:33 (ESV) The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord. It may look like chance when it isn't. "God's original purpose for the earth was 'very good' - perfect." No, He said that was its condition. It's purpose was for habitation and to glorify Himself. "Those selected by God to be part of that class, however, must prove faithful if they are actually to attain the reward set before them." This is dangerously close to a righteousness based on deeds. Could you explain yourself? Steve |

Hello Dan, Your response is typical of those who cannot respond to the truth. Steve |

358 | Noah, a bad evangelist? | Gen 6:18 | srbaegon | 145328 | ||
Hello T'oma, You bring up an interesting point. Noah was 500 when he fathered his sons (Gen 5:32). Noah's sons were married when God called Noah (Gen 6:18). And Noah was 600 when the flood began (Gen 7:6). Interesting indeed! Steve |

359 | how did satan survive the flood? | Gen 7:23 | srbaegon | 147907 | ||
Hello 29602004, Actually, I did answer your question. Spiritual beings do not have to go anywhere while the physical world is being affected. I can give no better answer because we have no idea what the spiritual world looks like. The flood did not put him on the run. Living (running) water was a word picture the Lord Jesus used to help the woman of Sychar understand who she was talking to. It had nothing to do with Satan. Gen 7:23 says nothing about Satan watching all the people of the earth go to hell or having the victory. You assumed that. Steve |

360 | The earth divided in Peleg's time? | Gen 10:25 | srbaegon | 190212 | ||
Hello oo123, There is the possibility of land being separated at that time. There is a theory that the entirety of the earth's land mass was one unit that separated over millions of years (notice how South America looks like it should fit next to Africa). This may have happened violently during Noah's flood, and then more movement occurred later. But that is just a hypothesis on my part. We simply don't know for sure. Steve |
