21 | WHAT IS THE "BREAD" THAT IS REFERENCE IN | Bible general Archive 4 | TCfromCoventry | 195992 | ||
OOOOOOOOPPPS! I've only just joined, I'm still getting used to the website!!! Now I've seen the whole thread, I agree with DocTrinsograce; it can surely refer to both! "Your will be done on Earth..." is very clear, pragmatic and concerning our everyday life, as impacted by the supernatural (..as it is in Heaven). Jesus quoted Isaiah "Man shall not live on bread A L O N E"; confirming that we need physical bread, "..but by every word.." - our spiritual food. I've heard that Matt.6:11 means "every legitimate thing we could need for our whole well-being". Nourished by the Fellowship and Word of God, yes; but in Western society, a car is now pretty much essential! (I'm not saying that's good or bad, it just IS). So if we have no car, it's legitimate to ask (Abba) Daddy for a car. He caused us to be born into this generation and society. I'll leave it there - I'm starting to ramble!! | ||||||
22 | Who did Cain marry to have children? | Genesis | TCfromCoventry | 195983 | ||
Answers in Genesis (www.answersingenesis.org) explains it in terms of genetic mutation/degradation. Adam and Eve were created perfect, therefore had perfect genetic information in their DNA. From the Fall (which affected the whole of Creation) onwards, mutation (DNA degradation) started to set in, but for many generations, was so slight that brothers marrying sisters would not have caused genetic defects. By the time of Moses, genetic degradation had increased to a level that the law about close intermarraige had to be brought in. God is very practical isn't He?! By the way, this means that the Human Genome Project has mapped a genome with many generations of degradation in it!! What a waste of time! |

24 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | TCfromCoventry | 195981 | ||
I hope someone with better knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong! As i unerstand it, it cannot be said with any certainty whether satan's fall was before or after Creation. In either case, satan's presence was a test for Adam and Eve's obedience (note: God gave His command to Adam; Eve would only have heard it from him; it is unlikely to have been "genetically" passed to Eve when God took the rib from Adam). God wants us to love Him (Hosea6:6).Obedience should be a fruit of love. Love can only be given freely - it cannot be forced (1 Cor.13:5). Hence, either a) God needed to know if Adam and Eve would love Him by being obedient (in this case God is deliberately limiting Himself, by denying Himself foreknowledge of His creation - God often does this in respect of the free-will He gave us), or b) God wanted ADAM and EVE to discover for themselves if they loved Him enough to be obedient. Think of all the different possible results! 1) Eve could have said "I DON'T believe you, serpent! GOD, there's a serpent here trying to trick me!!". Adam's response? "Well done, Eve!!" 2)Eve could have given in to temptation but Adam could have said "Eve! What have you done?! Have you forgotten what I told you about that tree??!" 3)Eve could have said "I'll have to ask my husband about this!" - in which case Adam could have either resisted temptation, or HE could have taken the fruit and said "Seem's alright to me!!". There could have been other variations too. The important thing is that GOD knew there will be a GOOD outcome, whatever happened - just different routes to that good outcome. Option 1) is the only one where a New Creation would not be needed (because sin failed to enter the world). Any of the others, sin would have entered the world, redemption required, then a New Creation for the redeemed to live in the restoration of eternal life. By the way, your 'kid in the candy store' would only be correct if sin was ALREADY present - before the temptation was presented, Adam and Eve had no trouble leaving That Tree alone. Do we genetically inherit sin? Have you noticed how you don't need to teach kids to be naughty??! |
