782 | is God the father of everyone ? | Gen 1:27 | Hank | 35818 | ||
jajoje: The answer is a resounding "YES"! Please read the first few chapters of Genesis, paying particular attention to Genesis 1:27. Then go to the New Testament, to the fourth Gospel, which is John, read the first chapter, and underscore verse 3. --Hank | ||||||
783 | Do you believe that God was a man | Gen 1:27 | Hank | 35831 | ||
Leftwich -- the "Lady with the Vision" -- If God revealed himself to some people before He created them, then pray tell, who were they and where did THEY come from? And where do your ideas come from? --Hank | ||||||

785 | If Gen 1,2 are not true, then what is? | Gen 1:27 | Hank | 85284 | ||
Well, Radioman, even though it is possible I suppose that the dictionary is filled with myths, fables and fanciful stories, we must give the compiler credit for putting them in alphabetical order which, unlike the forum, makes access easy. On the forum they are scattered all over the place. --Hank | ||||||

787 | Hpw may years from Adam to Jesus | Gen 1:27 | Hank | 179450 | ||
Donald - Scripture does not reveal the number of years that elapsed between the event of Genesis 1:27, the creation of Adam, and the event of Luke 2:7, the birth of Jesus. Many Bible scholars down through the years have drawn up genealogical charts and constructed elaborate timelines, but they have amounted to little more than guesswork. Scientists have tossed in their guesses too, but they have turned out to be as useless as anyone else's. The truth is that no one knows. --Hank | ||||||
788 | Replenish the earth | Gen 1:28 | Hank | 8029 | ||
The problem, Cephas, is not one of theology, because there was nothing for man to replace. It is neither a problem with the King James translation; it is right. The problem is with our tricky English language. The verb "replenish" does not always mean to replace. I cite the Merriam-Webster Collegiate dictionary. The first definition given for "replenish" is this: "To fill with persons or animals." Fill, not refill. An archiac definition, which the 1611 scholars may well have had in mind, is "to supply fully." A second definition of "replenish" is "to fill or build up again" but that is not the definition that is in harmony with the context here, to which modern versions attest by their usage of the simple word "fill." --Hank | ||||||
789 | Having children | Gen 1:28 | Hank | 63862 | ||
Here are a few passages to get you going. Gen.1:28; Ps.8:2, 78:4, 103:17; Prov.17:6, 20:11, 22:6,15, 29:15; Matt.11:25, 21:15,16; Mark 10:13-16; Acts 2:39; 1 Cor.7:14; Eph.6:1,4; and Col.3:20,21. The list is not exhaustive by any means. There are many passages of Scripture that speak of children. An exhaustive concordance or topical concordance will lead you to other passages. --Hank | ||||||
790 | is conception a sinful act? | Gen 1:28 | Hank | 63871 | ||
Hello, Pamtas. I missed your question of a few months ago and just now came across it. I've been on this forum a long time and have been exposed to some truly nutty ideas, but the idea espoused by your "evangelist" wins a blue ribbon! To assert that conception is a sin is placing God Himself in the role of a sinner! If you don't think this is true, read Matthew 1:18. Your "evangelist" is nothing less than an unvarnished crackpot, a false teacher of the first water. Avoid him and others of his stripe as you would a deadly plague. --Hank | ||||||
791 | contraceptives and bible | Gen 1:28 | Hank | 200498 | ||
Dear jedal :: My, but you're a persistent fellow! :-) That's fine. Nothing to be ashamed of. More often than not, persistence pays, as the saying goes. .... Jedal, the subject of birth control (contraception) is a complex one and even among Christians often a controversial one. The Bible says a great deal about being fruitful and multiplying and next to nothing about birth control as we use the term in our time. Even birth control and contraception are not always terms pertaining to the same thing. In a broad sense one could label abortion a form of birth control but it is certainly not a form of contraception. Deliberate and willful abortion is not contraception; it is murder of a human being who already has been conceived but is developing in the womb awaiting the time to be born. ...... Since, as I've pointed out, this is a complex subject, I've opted to cite for your inspection three articles from a web site that is conservative, biblically based and doctrinally sound. The name of the site is gotquestions.org and from it I have chosen three articles for your reference. The URL's are as follows: http://www.gotquestions.org/birth-control.html ..... The next one is http://www.gotquestions.org/permanent-birth-control.html ..... The final one is http://gotquestions.org/abortion-Bible.html ..... If any of these links should fail to work for you, simply go to gotquestions.org and, using their search engine, type in key words birth control contraception for the first two articles, and abortion for the last one. ...... I hope that these essays will provide you with at least some answers to your question. Thanks for posting on Study Bible Forum. Grace to you. --Hank | ||||||
792 | no milk and beef in old testament | Gen 1:29 | Hank | 3897 | ||
Genesis 9:3 permits meat to supplement the vegetarian diet imposed by Genesis 1:29. From creation, mothers, human and animal, have nurtured their young with milk, the consumption of which has never been forbidden. --Hank | ||||||
793 | is it wrong? | Gen 1:29 | Hank | 105117 | ||
Do you customarily consume nightshade and hemlock, sickhead? Along with pot, they too yield seeds. Why are nightshade and hemlock foods for you -- or are they? They are deadly poisons, or didn't you know? Why should you think that any seed-bearing plant is good food? Tried any ragweed or poison ivy in your salad lately? --Hank | ||||||
794 | why did God create the Sabbath | Gen 2:3 | Hank | 160454 | ||
Felicitous greetings and a hardy welcome to you, nodrog (or, spelled backwards, Gordon!) -- Scripture's teaching on the Sabbath is clear and gives no grounds upon which the subject should become a dividing issue. The Sabbath, like so many other mighty acts and truths of God, has its genesis in the book of Genesis. Genesis 2:1-3 tells of God's sanctifying (setting apart) the seventh day because in it He rested from His awesome work of creation. Later the Sabbath was set aside for a day of worship in the Mosaic law (Exodus 20:8-11). In Mark 2:2 Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man. Colossians 2:16 and other New Testament passages make it clear that the Mosaic Sabbath has no ritual or symbolic place in the New Covenant. The church began worshiping on the first day of the week in commemoration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:1ff and Acts 20:7). ....... I trust that this thumbnail sketch of the Sabbath answers your questions of why and when God established the Sabbath. ..... I gather from your post that you were a Forum reader before you became a registrant. Someone who has expert knowledge in these matters said some time ago that the Forum has a very large number of readers who never become registrants, and to them we say, "It's good to have you and God bless you all." --Hank | ||||||
795 | What caused the mist? | Gen 2:6 | Hank | 114742 | ||
Chusarcik: As EbB has said, the Bible doesn't reveal any details about the mist and its cause. If you'd like to read some educated guesses by a group of Christian scientists (not Christian Science!), go to www.icr.org. They offer some fascinating stuff on the creation, the flood, etc. --Hank | ||||||

798 | Why did God not create more one couple ? | Gen 2:7 | Hank | 8926 | ||
No one knows why God created only one couple but God himself, and He has not revealed that information to mankind. Neither does anyone know for certain whom Cain married. It has long been a widely-held assumption that she was a descendent of Adam and Eve and thus a near relative of Cain. It is the only assumption that would appear valid in light of the Genesis account. The prohibition against incest did not come until later. By Moses' time, this kind of close marriage was forbidden (Lev.18:7-17) because of genetic decay.... The Bible does not tell us all we may wish to know about the creation or the Creator. To assume it does is wishful thinking. It contains all that God has chosen to reveal of himself and not a word more. It does answer the most crucial question any human being has ever asked or ever can ask, "What must I do to be saved?" --Hank | ||||||
799 | how long has the earth been here | Gen 2:7 | Hank | 32833 | ||
Longer than I can remember :-)Breath, read Genesis 1:1 and you will know as much about the subject as anyone else. Seriously. --Hank | ||||||
800 | why god didn't allow man to pick mate? | Gen 2:7 | Hank | 59956 | ||
SWAZ, back in those days Adam's choice of a mate was, after all, rather limited to say the least, don't you think? :-) Please allow me to pose a question to you: Why didn't God leave it to man to decide other matters, like how many stars should be made, what kinds of flora and fauna should populate the earth, and other details of His creation? The answer, friend, to all the "why did God" type of questions has always been, is now, and ever shall be, because God is sovereign, God is transcendent, God is God. --Hank | ||||||
