1 | Why did Eve react like that? | Bible general Archive 4 | DUDUTJ | 218500 | ||
Thanks a lot man for your answer I've just got amazed at your reasoning, specially this part: "We have no idea how long they were in the garden before this happened. Perhaps she was still learning about all the wonderful things in God's creation, and in her mind this was just another fascinating discovery." I personally do not believe that God talked to Adam face to face literally, because "no one ever saw God" (John 1:18) but I do believe He used theophanias, aggelos, to speak as God Himself. I really got builded up by your thinking concerning this suject, I've never thought that way. May God keep using you to bless others! |

I have read John 1:18 and have come to the conclusion that John is talking about God the Father that no man has seen. But many people have seen God the Son (Jesus), and I believe that it was Jesus that Adam and Eve were talking to because Genesis 3:8 says that Adam and Eve heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the cool of the day and they hid themselves from His presence (which infers that He would have had to have been there personally). It would take quite some time and space to explain why I believe they were speaking with Jesus and not God the Father, but I can tell you if you really want to know why I believe that. I learned something new! I have never heard of theophanies and aggelos. Thank you for teaching me new words! |

Hi, Tigerwillow... What you are conjecturing about would be called a Christophany. Sola Scriptura is all about asserting all that Scripture says about a thing, but no more than Scripture says about a thing. There are a lot of implications associated with that extreme of a view of Old Testament Christophanies. A thorough treatment of the question has been undertaken by many scholars of the church over the last twenty centuries. As our study of the Bible here on the SBF is rooted firmly in Sola Scriptura, why don't we just accept what the Bible explicitly says, and avoid speculations about things that it does not explicitly say -- lest we become a Speculative Bible Forum. :-) In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc, Would you call Genesis 3:1, Genesis 18:22-32, Exodus 34:11, and Exodus 33:23 Christophanies? |

No, I would not. Scripture interprets Scripture. Take what it says and leave it at that. | ||||||
