721 | agree between Creation and Evolution | Genesis | Hank | 38524 | ||
Chico, Evolution is not a science; it is a theory. More than a theory, it is a religion. So the issue is not to find a common ground, a means of reconciliaion between creationism and science. The issue is whether to believe the lies of Darwinist evolution or the truth of God's creation. --Hank | ||||||

723 | Was Eve the first female | Genesis | Hank | 51773 | ||
Winfieldd -- Yes, Eve was the first woman and Adam the first man, the first and only two human beings that God ever created according to the Genesis record: we have no evidence that He created any other human beings. The rest of the human race are descendents from Adam and Eve, born of their seed and not created in the sense that Adam and Eve were. Your confusion obviously stems from your assuming that Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are describing two accounts of creation, but they are not. The second account is merely an expansion of the first. One God, one creation. Many posts are in the forum archives on this topic and may be accessed by using Search and the key words _creation account_ --Hank | ||||||
724 | The three Earth Ages | Genesis | Hank | 53526 | ||
Toni [TxRedBelle] -- All we know about the biblical account of creation is contained within the first two chapters of Genesis. There is no account of any pre-Adamic race or of a former world that God made, subsequently destroyed, and started anew. There is no time chart in Scripture to shed light on the age of the universe. Neither can science furnish any hard evidence about the age of the universe. Theories abound, speculations flourish, but no one knows except God, and He has not revealed this information through His word. What He has revealed is His love and grace in giving His only Son so that we through faith in Him might have eternal life. Apparently He considers it more important that we know the Rock of Ages than the age of rocks. --Hank | ||||||

726 | Artifical insemination | Genesis | Hank | 104162 | ||
Marnie777 - Permit me to answer your question with three questions: [1] Do you believe that human beings have ever been able to improve upon God's design for marriage and family? (Please see Genesis 1:28 and 2:24) .... [2] Do you see any problems inherent in a single woman being artifically inseminated? (Hint: start by considering the word "artifically" and continue thinking through the issue with the child's welfare in mind: how does one explain to the child who its father is, for example?) [3] In light of what Genesis teaches about God's design for marriage and family, what do you think about artifical insemination? Is it God's plan for procreation or man's perversion of it? If it isn't God's plan, is it a sin or not? You decide. --Hank | ||||||
727 | Did God create people to inhabit Hell? | Genesis | Hank | 122741 | ||
halltrip: Your question might possibly be dealt with more satisfactorily if you would identify the meaning you attach to certain words and concepts contained therein, viz., the word "elect" -- what is your understanding of the meaning of this biblical term? And whence came the implied concept that God continues His process of creation beyond the sixth day? It is easy to infer by your question that you believe that God continues to create human beings. Does He? Read the first few chapters of Genesis. It will teach you not only about God's creation but also about His plan for procreation. Count the number of times the phrase, "after its kind," is used. ....... Scripture does not teach that God "created" any human being for the purpose of dooming him to hell. Consider 2 Peter 3:9. --Hank | ||||||
728 | Creation Studies. | Genesis | Hank | 165766 | ||
Dear Lionheart: One would be hard pressed in my view to find any better materials on creation from an orthodox Christian point of view as well as a truly scientific point of view than what is available on-line at Institute for Creation Research (icr.org). Additionally this organization has a vast amount of excellent books and videos available. I urge you to check them out. I recommend their materials without reservation. The founder and president-emeritus of ICR, Dr. Henry Morris, is the author of a fine study Bible called "The Defender's Study Bible" which I own, use, and recommend highly. His annotations on Genesis are the finest I've ever come across in any study Bible. His notes throughout are orthodox, moderately Calvinist in soteriology, and reflect a high view of Scripture. I'm personally acquainted with Dr. Henry Morris' son, Dr. John Morris, who is now president of ICR. They are based in El Cajon, California. --Hank | ||||||

730 | Who was Cain's wife? | Genesis | Hank | 207234 | ||
Rondajean :: Cain's wife was a descendent of Adam and Eve, the only two human beings whom God created. Read the Genesis account of the events of creation leading up to Scripture's mention of Cain's wife, Genesis 1:1 through 4:17. Any attempt at an explanation beyond what Scripture reveals is pure speculation. --Hank | ||||||

734 | Than i may know Him | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 7593 | ||
We know from the Bible that God is eternal. But the idea of eternity really is impossible for finite human beings to understand. We think in measurable categories. Our references are always to time or distance. We measure time by the day or by the year; distance by the inch or by the mile. We may have a fairly clear idea of what a day is or what a year is, or even some sort of vague notion of what a million years is. But of eternity in which there is no such thing as time as we know it, and of God's being in "eternity past" forever and forever, having no beginning and no ending -- these are concepts that boggle the mind. The Bible says simply, "In the beginning God created..." But before the "beginning" -- the beginning of creation -- God was. Always was, always is, always will be......So what was it like before God created the universe? The Bible does not say. Science does not know. All we have to go on, which is nothing really, is our imagination, our speculation, our guesses. We do know this: We know that God is a sovereign, all knowing, and all-powerful God. We know that God is not dependent upon his creation for His being, no more than an artist derives his life from his painting.......And what did God do first? Again, all we know is from the first few words of Genesis, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." In your question Jim you pointed out that God said and things started to happen. And what a marvelous testimony this is to the incomparable greatness and might of the living God. He can say "Let there be light," and there is light. He can breathe the breath of life into a piece of clay and it becomes a living human being, fashioned in the likeness of God Himself.God, how great Thou art! --Hank | ||||||
735 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 17523 | ||
Shiner, the best answer to your question is, No one really knows. "In the beginning" refers, of course, to the time when God created the heavens and the earth. We call it the universe. Theories abound, both secular and theological, regarding the age of the universe. The scientific community tends to lean to guesses that are measured in millions of years while many conservative Christian thinkers place the age in thousands of years. The fact remains that no one knows; it is one of many secrets that God chose not to reveal to us in His word. The Bible is very plain about who did the creating; it is silent on the when. --Hank | ||||||
736 | what does in the beginning mean? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 20476 | ||
Joyfull, the phrase "in the beginning" of Genesis 1:1 does not, and cannot, apply to God Himself, because He is eternal. There is no beginning and no ending with God. Therefore, the fourth word of the Bible offers the answer: created. "In the beginning" refers to the time at which God created the heavens and the earth, what we today call the universe. Many believers, I among them, hold that He created it "ex nihilo," -- from or out of nothing -- that He did, in fact, literally by the awesome power of His word, speak it into existence. "Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light." (Genesis 1:3). --Hank | ||||||
737 | christmas tree | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 27078 | ||
ddrundle, there is no passage in the Bible that says anything like, "Thou shalt have no Christmas tree." There is, however, a passage in Jeremiah (10:3-5) that some have understood as Biblical condemnation of the Christmas tree. I do not hold to this interpretation but believe the passage is clearly speaking of the pagan practice of constructing deities for worship. Christmas trees can be trimmed and decorated so beautifully that they attract our attention and admiration, but that is a far cry from their becoming objects of our worship. --Hank | ||||||
738 | How many children did Adam and Eve have? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 28646 | ||
Jeep, the Bible says that "The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters." (Genesis 5:4). --Hank | ||||||
739 | How does God speak to us? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 29260 | ||
How do we know when God is speaking? By listening to what he says in His word! We learn what the truth of God is in exactly the same way the Bereans did, by searching the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). God speaks to us by His Son (Heb. 1:2) and His Son speaks to us in the Scriptures which testify of Him (John 5:39) We do not need a crystal ball or extra-biblical revelation to be able to discern between God's will and ours. The Scriptures clearly reveal God's will and plan for our lives. There is a prevalent and dangerous wind of doctrine blowing across many churches today that Scripture alone is insufficient. The heresy is being spread that we need something more -- anointing, special revelation, tongue speaking and who knows what else -- to give us a spiritual lift and jolt to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. There is the insinuation being made that a believer who doesn't babble in a tongue or get himself "anointed" (whatever that means) is at best only a second-class Christian or at worst no Christian at all. This is raw and unwashed nonsense. We are in deep trouble indeed when we reach the point at which we think the word of God is insufficient. --Hank | ||||||
