101 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | ebrain | 187038 | ||
Hi Doc. An excellent post, I find myself in complete and total agreement with the wise sentiments you express, in fact it would be churlish of me not to say so. Bless you brother. In Him.. Edwin. (ebrain) |

102 | Is there any scripture regarding whether | Gen 3:15 | ebrain | 178942 | ||
Jesus did not sin, but I do believe that it was possible for Him to do so. If He had done what the verse below says, then He would have sinned, but He did not do so. Mat 26:53 “Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? ebrain. |

Hi NewPilgrim. Welcome to this forum, it;s great to have you on board. I find myself in complete and total agreement with all that you have said, you must have a brilliant teacher. Might I add in support of what you have written, our Lord's words when He said "not my will but thine be done". This statement of His only makes sense if it were possible for Him to go against His Fathers will, if as others have said "Jesus could not do this", then they are calling Him a lier, and my Jesus is not a lier. I look forward to further input from you. Every blessing. ebrain. |

Hi Steve. You said. "I think we can agree that He had the ability to call on the Father", What is the point of His saying this, if as you maintain He was incapable of doing it?, it just does not make sense. If He said He could do this, which He did in fact say, but it was impossible for Him to do so, then you are calling Him a lier, and as I have said in my post to "NewPilgrim" on this topic, (which post I suggest you read), "my Jesus is not a lier". Please tell me what Coll 2:9 has to do with this? "in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily", so what, how does this relate to what Jesus said at Matthew 26:53?. |

Steve. Greetings Brother. There is no need for you to apologize, you have not offended me, dismayed perhaps, frustrated possibly, but offended no. I asked you to look at my post to NewPilgrim, which you do not appear to have done, as you have not made any comment on, "not My will but Thine be done". Your problem as I see it is one that is all too common with a lot of christians, that is an inability to reconcile the Diety of our Lord Jesus, with His true humanity. Let me ask you a number of questions, but before I do so let me state that I have no problem with the fact that Jesus is God, as anyone will know who has read what I have had to say on that subject on this Forum, and as the many verses of Scripture I have quoted indicate. What follows might seem as if I am playing the Devil's Advocate. This is not in fact the case, but the verses I shall refer to could be used by his servants to undermine a believers faith. Unfortunatly this is helped along by thoes Preachers who will say "Although we are considering the humanity of Jesus, let it be clearly understood that at no time was He any less than God". This teaching plays straight into the hands of the Evil one, who will try to use it to his advantage. Jesus is refered to as "My Servant" at Isaiah 52:13, which is where one should start to read Isaiah Ch 53. Tell me how can the servant of God, also at the same time be God? Psalm 22:1. Jesus cried out "My God My God", Tell me how it is possible that He who is God could possibly address Himself as My God? only someone who is not God could say this. Hebrews 2:9. "Made lower than the angles". Hebrews 10:7. "To do your will O God". 1 Corinthinans 15:28. "Then the Son himself will also be subjected to him.....God". John 5:30. Please tell me why it is that God has to say "I can of my self do nothing". Why God has to say "As I hear I judge". who does He take advice from? Why is it that the only way in which God knows that His judgment is righteous, is because He dose not seek His own will? Why are we told at Acts 2:22, "God did through him", if it was Jesus who performed the Miracles? Phillipians 2:9. How can you give someone what they have allready got? Note see Isaiah 45:22-23, for the application of this mame. Rest assured that I have no problem with the verses I have quoted above, they do not prevent me from rejoicing in the fact that Jesus is God. Refering now to Coll 2:9. This is a verse that I especially love, and have used many times to indicate that the entire Godhead, that is all three persons suffered and died on the cross, and not just only the man Jesus. The Lord bless you Steve. Edwin. |

106 | Is there any scripture regarding whether | Gen 3:15 | ebrain | 179044 | ||
Steve. I have never at any time said that God could sin, I am in full agreement with you, God cannot sin. That however is not the question. What I have been dealing with is the humanity, and not the Deity of Jesus. It is written of God that He "will neither slumber nor sleep", Psalm 121:4. (ESV), Jesus went to sleep in the back of a boat. Tell me would this refer to the Divine nature of Jesus, or His human nature? When Jesus said "not my will but thine de done". He is indicating His ability to chose, are you saying that He did not have the ability to chose? Please explain to me why He said this, if He was icapable of free choice?. Would you also please respond to the other questions that I have asked in the post to which you have replied. Edwin. |

Greetings Steve. Let me try once more to make my position clear. At Matthew 26:53, Jesus said "Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father" (ESV), please tell me Steve would I be right in interpreting this as "I can appeal to my Father", I am able to do it, it is not impossible for me to do this , however, although I can, I will not, as if I did, how would Scripture be fullfiled?, (verse 54). Please, Please tell me Steve, have I completely misunderstood what Jesus was saying, and if so how then should I have understood it? If Jesus were to have done what He clearly said He could do, and thereby have prevented Scripture from being fullfiled, would He have sinned?, Yes, or No. For what it is worth my understanding that Jesus could as a man have sinned, but did not do so , causes me to hold Him in much higher regard than if it were impossible for Him to have done so. In other words it is not a problem for me, but in fact causes me to rejoice, and be exceeding glad that my Saviour is such a wonderful, brave , and courageous person. Every blessing. Edwin. |

108 | Did Eve hope she would be Jesus mother ? | Gen 4:1 | ebrain | 160549 | ||
I have been told that the words 'with the help of' are not found in the original Hebrew, and that it should read 'I have gotten a man child, the LORD'. In other words she thought that she had given birth to the Messiah, however I am not sure that this is in fact the correct interpritation. I shall be glad to hear what others have to say on this matter. Every blesing. ebrain. |

109 | Did Eve hope she would be Jesus mother ? | Gen 4:1 | ebrain | 160598 | ||
Thank you Mark, and Kalos for your input, perhaps Eve was overjoyed because she had produced the "seed" that would bruise the head of Satan refered to in Gen Ch 3 v 15. Thank's again for your help. The Lord bless you. ebrain, |

110 | Who was Cain afraid of? | Gen 4:14 | ebrain | 166626 | ||
I believe Cain was afraid of persons who at the time he spoke these words did not exist, but he considered would in due course be born into this world. See Genesis Ch 5 vs 3-4, after the birth of Seth, who was born when Adam was 130 years old, Adam went on to live for a further 800 years, and fathered both sons and daughters. I am concluding that Cain knew that as time went on future gererations would be told of what he Cain had done, and as a result, kill him and fulfill what he had said at Ch 4 v 14 would happen. God also knew this, which is why He put a mark on Cain see v 15, in order prevent him from being murdered. |
||||||
111 | Adam's or God's likeness? | Gen 5:3 | ebrain | 160272 | ||
After the fall Adam was no longer in the likness of God, and was therefore only able to father sinners, see Psalm 51 v 5, "in sin did my mother conceive me". The fact that it does not specificly say that Cain, and Abel were "in his own likenes, after his image", does not mean that they wern't. |

He married his sister, at that time it was not forbidden. | ||||||
113 | Cains Wife | Gen 5:4 | ebrain | 160153 | ||
Thank you Eden for your input, it is most helpfull. The question is not so much the question, but rather why was it asked in the first place, does it matter where Cain got his wife from?. Scripture tells us what we need to know, but does not reveal what we do not need to know. The Lord bless you. ebrain. |

Hi rckeel. It might be of interese for you to know that the three persons saved as described in Acts Chapters 8,9,and10, are desendants of Ham Ch 8, Shem Ch 9. and Japheth in Ch 10. ebrain. |

115 | Job 1:6, Is Satan also a son of God? | Gen 6:2 | ebrain | 185735 | ||
My understanding is that, the expression, "the sons of God", refers to angels, and that this is also the case with Gen 6:2, bellow. Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan* also came among them. Gen 6:2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose Satan is a created being, as are the other angles, but he chose to be disobedient to God, and is therefore refereed to as a fallen angel. Others will, I have no doubt have something more to say on this subject. ebrain. |

116 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161358 | ||
The Nephilim were the product of sexual relations between fallen Angels, and human females. The expression "sons of God", when sons is spelt with a small "s" is a reference to Angels. In the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew OT) made about 300 BC, Nephilim is translated "Titan". The Titans in Greek mythology were reputed to be the result of the Greek gods comming down to earth, and having sexual relations with human females. The word Titan is normaly translated giant, which is why the ocean liner which sank in 1912 was called Titanic. A more accurate translation of titan would be grotesque, rather than giant. |
||||||
117 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161401 | ||
The only verses that I can bring to mind which appear to support my view, are found at 2nd Peter Ch 2 vs 4-5. It would appear that the Jews who produced the Septuagint, when looking for a suitable Greek word to represent what they understood the Nephilim to be,chose Titan. If you Doc can quote a Scripture to indicate that my conclusion is incorrect, then please do so, or otherwise give me your considered opinion as to who you think the Nephilim were?. Respectfully yours. Edwin Brain. |

118 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161672 | ||
Thank you Doc, you are of course right, I should have prefaced my remarks in the way you suggest, and not allowed speculation to be considered as fact. What was in my mind at the time was attempting to answer a question that was mearly academic, and in no way could it be considered as Basic Foundational Christian Doctrine. Your point is taken, however, and I shall in future endeavor to be more carefull. Thank you again for your fellowship. Every blessing. ebrain |

119 | Did Abraham, Issac and Jacob respect wom | Gen 12:13 | ebrain | 170052 | ||
Abram showed complete, and total lack of respect for his wife, when at Gen 12:-18. Although the Lord put a stop to this see v 17, it did not stop Abraham doing the same thing all over again see Gen 20:1-11. His son Isaac did exactly the same to his wife, see Gen 26:1-10. No these men did not show respect for women, but treated them with utter contempt, and were prepared to offer their wives to be used sexually by other men, in order to save their own lives. |

Correction. The first verse quoted should read Gen 12:10-18. | ||||||
