1 | Adam and Eve and the Chinese characters | Gen 3:1 | theoflus | 74330 | ||
Some interesting observations have come to light thru the study of Chinese characters. Theirs is a picture language, and there are suggestions as to why they made pictures of certain things which do not at first seem to have any connection in our minds. Please see: www.icr.org/pubs/imp/#top which contains a list of more than 300 articles on Christian evidence. The article dealing with the Chinese charactes is #169, and contains more information than I can include here. The Chinese character for snake is a picture of an *upright* creature with a big head and prominent eyes. There is the suggestion of hair or wings. When the nations were parted at the Tower of Babel ancestors of the Chinese and Japanese went to the East. In establishing their written language they used pictures. They were aware of the events we have recorded in the first eleven chapters of Genesis, and apparently related many of their ideographs to those events. Possibly the ideograph for "snake" is related to what he may have looked like before God condemned him to wriggle on the ground. Note that the OT had not yet been written when these ideographs were created, so their knowledge would have come thru their immediate ancestors, not thru the Bible. In their state of innocence Adam and Eve were likely clothed in light, as God is said to dwell in light. When Eve ate the fruit **her light went out!** Adam, seeing this knew what she had done. He was not deceived (I Tim 2:14) but of his own free will joined her by eating of the fruit. They made garments of leaves possibly, not to conceal their nakedness from each other, but in an attempt to conceal from God what they had done. Another thought, Gen 3:6 reads: "So when the woman *SAW* that the tree was good for food,..." If Satan had been ostentatiously EATING of the fruit himself, and was apparently unharmed by it, Eve might have been deceived into disbelieving God's word. HOW ELSE COULD SHE *SEE* THAT IT WAS SAFE TO EAT? |

That is very interesting how chineese letters ties in with the Adam and Eve account in the Bible. It is also good to point out that the Egyptians who were also settled out from the tower of babel used pictures for there writing as well. There is much scientific proof of the Bible and more and more is always being found that disproves of the common beliefs of modern secular history. Many of these discoveries hopefully will someday go public, and people may have to either ignore the truth based on "factual evidence" or actually rewrite the text books. Another good web-site is www.drdino.com. There you will find many articles on creation and well documented evidence on creation. |
