1 | Adam and Eve the first people created? | Luke 17:1 | all-cing-i | 70843 | ||
Jim thank you for properly schooling me on what was meant in this passage. I am not on this site to stir up any trouble, but I can honestly say that I do not have total faith in what is written in the bible, for anything man made shall have flaws. Though GOD relayed the message, I believe that there is information missing due to some of the inconsistencies. For example lack of information about Jesus during years before his death. It was like he went from what is now considered a young adult 18 to 33. I honestly want to believe, but the conspiracy theoriest in me will not allow some of these things that I have run across go. Once again thank you for understanding my inquisitive nature and my lack of understanding with certain issues. All-Cing-I |

The Bible gives a good explanation for the missing information. Notice John 21:25. "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written." The gospel accounts of Jesus give accounts of Jesus life for us to examine who He is. The gospel of Matthew looks at Jesus as King. That's why we see the geneology proving the kingly line. Mark depicts Jesus as the lowly servant. Luke, being a physician, was chosen to depict Jesus as man. John depicts Jesus as God, ie., In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1-2) and later in vs 14 "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." As some others have written, the Bible has given us enough information to allow us to make a decision to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. You may wonder why God would have to come to earth. I'm glad you asked. God created man and put him in a perfect environment, The Garden of Eden. He gave Adam all that he would need to live forever and to have a relationship with God. The only stipulation made to Adam was that he could partake of anything in the garden except one tree. Adam and Eve made their first mistake in hanging out there at that tree. They were already on shakey ground. Sin works the same way today. Anyway, Adam partook of the forbidden fruit. Romans 5:12 in the New Testament says," Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--. God had told Adam that in the day he eat of that fruit he would surely die. That came true. He died spiritually immediately and began to die physically growing older from that point on. This spiritual death was a seperation from God. This is the insurmountable problem that the human race is faced with. We are dead spiritually. There is a holy God on one side of the chasm and man on the other. Between the two is this barrior created by sin. We are born in this condition. The sinners Adam and Eve begat other sinners their children. The delimma for man is that God cannot remain holy and receive sinners. God planned for this in eternity past in His plan of redemption. God has declared the wages of sin is death (see Romans 6:23). This is that seperation from God I spoke of earlier. To satisfy God's holiness, a sinner must be seperated from God eternally. However, God's plan to redeem a people for Himself, included God the Son coming into the earth (no human father) as perfect man without sin. He lived a sinless life and died on a Roman cross. He became the Lamb of God slain to pay for the sins of those who would receive the gift. The whole Old Testament sacrificial system was a foreshadowing or picture of what Jesus would do on the cross. What this all means to the person who receives Christ as Savior is that God takes our sin and places it on Jesus and takes His righteousness and gives it to us who believe. By have Jesus' death substitute for me, I stand righteous before this Holy God and He can receive me because my sin is paid for. If anyone will seriously and openly consider Jesus and His life you have to conclude that He truly was who he said he was. |
