Dear Digital, I am afraid I might need your clarification. Do you mean that you prefer ancient Sumerian texts over the Hebrew or Greek texts in the exegesis of the Bible? Thank you in advance for your explanation. Shalom Azure |

223 | Is It Human to Sin? | Gen 1:27 | azurelaw | 188086 | ||
Dear John, Greetings to you. I can understand your feeling (for I feel the same as in doubt with his sincerity). However, may I offer you these scriptures (I believe you know pretty well): Eph 4:26-27 Be angry, yet yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. James 1:19-20 This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. My reading of this user's questions arouse my memory of the below scripture not out of sarcasm but "sadness". How true is our Lord Jesus Christ's Words. Matt 7:6 Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. Shalom Azure |

224 | Is It Human to Sin? | Gen 1:27 | azurelaw | 188087 | ||
Hi,John It's me again. I forgot to end my post with a story told by my elder few weeks ago. Here it is: One day, a christian met a beggar in a street. Out of pitty, he invited this beggar home for a meal. After the beggar finished his meal, he started complaining about the food and cursed God as usual for his poverty. This christian was very angry with this beggar's unthankful behaviour, thus said to himself that he deserves to be a beggar. However, at that very moment, God said to this christian: "This beggar curses me EVERY single day and I still give my provision to him not leaving him hungry, why can't you just tolerate him for ONE single day?" Hope you enjoy the story. While we are enjoying the forum, let's keep praying for the forum and all the participants as well. Shalom Azure |

Dear Jeff, It's very nice to hear from you again. Frankly, I had a moment of feeling annoyed by his unreasonable(?) questions. However, I believe that there are brothers or sisters here who are more loving, patient and able than I to answer his questions. And I also believe that what we need is to preach and God will do the rest through his Holy Spirit. The bible also said that for those who think they are wise and behave proud in front of our God, they will be humiliated. (Sorry, I forgot the relevant scripture) Their words just expose their foolishness in the face of our Almighty God. I love what Jesus said as below: John 12:48 He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the WORD I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. Shalom Azure |

Hi John, What I heard within my society "woman is made of water". By such application (or imagination), when dust mixed with water, man and woman become one flesh as well as a clay in the Potter's hand ......Just my unbiblical fancy thought :-) Gen 2:22-24 Shalom Azure |

Oh..my... I'm muddying the forum :-( But don't you think God's formula is perfect that we are not mud but clay? Shalom Azure |

What I can think of is that how awesome is our God who glorifies us (dirty, muddy and filthy sinners) by making us righteous in Christ and that we may glorify Him even though we were so m-u-d-d-y. Thank you very much for the sharing, Brother Doc. :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Hank, I thank you so much for your great help in providing me such a resourceful and remarkable information. I did not expect such a simple question in my mind (which just pop up suddenly when I read the bible) could be an immense and deep one as you stated. I will try to find out more with the information you gave and hope that Dr. Morris's study and writings would not be too difficult for me to understand. God bless you always. |

Dear Susan, How would you come to the conclusion that Eve was also Adam's daughter? Could you please explain? Thank you. Shalom Azure |
||||||
232 | baptism | Gen 2:21 | azurelaw | 236210 | ||
Dear Susan, Since then as you have rightly put that she was CREATED, and as is in Gen 1:27 recording "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.", and as is in Gen 2:24-25 that Eve was regarded as the wife of Adam, it could not be said that Eve was also Adam's daughter. Shalom Azure |

Dear escar, If I read you correctly, you said "Who's image God and the angels we were made in their likeness..." for your interpretation of Gen 1:26, do you mean that man was made in the image of God and angels? If so, please explain where in the bible said that man was made in the image of God and the angels? Shalom Azure |

Bernard of Clairvaux asked, "Since we read that a fall so dreadful took place in Paradise, what shall we do on the dunghill?" Amen, Doc. Sadly that most Christians (include me) are so ignorant about it in such a so-call peaceful world. I remember the book (by Neil Postmans) title "Amusing ourselves to death". We are so much alike the apostles who fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus urged "keep watching and pray..."(Mat 26:41) Shalom Azure |

236 | what did Eve do in the Garden of Eden? | Gen 3:13 | azurelaw | 193558 | ||
Dear Steve, Eve's misquoting Thank you. I understand why there has always been the existence of the communication problem between men and women for our ancestors (Adam and Eve) are the first couple to have encountered it. :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear keliy, Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. Concerning the "ruling", I refer to v3:16b "...Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." God said this after they ate the forbidden fruit not before. If this does not render the idea of ruling power, how should we interpret this verse. Or should it be understood together with preceding one that the desire and love of the woman for her husband naturally posits the ruling power from the man over her? By the way, your point about God's relationship with the first-born (first animals and Adam) is helpful. Thanks. Shalom Azure P.S. Just to clarify, I am NOT a feminist :-) |

Now, I see your point though it seemed a bit side-tracked from my intended question. No, I am not advocating that Adam possessed that power in him. I agree completely that all powers are originated from God, nothing else. Thanks again for the nice discussion:-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Beja, It's good to see your post again and thank you for your input. Am I reasonable and in biblical sense that God has already granted Adam such superiority or authority before the fall when He created man (first) and woman (later), and only after the woman's being tempted and sinned, through His sentence of punishment, the ruling authority was made or proclaimed explicitly? Would the degree of authority differ according to the setting or context, i.e. private domain or public domain? Thanks again for your further insights. Shalom Azure P.S. I don't quote the scripture at this point as those you have used are applicable in our discussion. |

Dear Pastor Beja, I thank you so much for the fine answer. I do hope that my question triggers gracious discussion for edification instead of pointless or unproductive debate which is never my intent. I thank God for giving you the wisdom and grace in helping me to clarify my doubts on the subject which I had come across with an article brought to me for translation sometime ago. You have been a blessing to the forum and I look forward to reading more of your fine posts in future. Shalom Azure |
