341 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | skccab | 208183 | ||
Shalom Steve and all y'all, I had no idea the original question would get so much attention but I'm glad it did. :-) I had mused on it all last night and just couldn't come up with a conclusion on my own. I thank everybody who has joined in the discussion, a lot of really good views to consider. Cheri |

Shalom Steve, Now that's a thought! We don't have a passage with God actually saying that, but I'm sure much was said by Him to many that we don't have recorded. This was just something I was dealing with during my midnight shift. Thank you for offering your thoughts. :-) Cheri |

Hey John, I don't think they mind as long as we don't carry on and on. Done. Cheri |

John, Sometimes working all by myself for 8 hours I tend to overthink things, and miss the obvious!! Isn't it great that this Forum is available with so many great family members? Cheri |

Shalom John and Azure, Gosh, I'd answered this and lost it!!! Doing really good right about now. You're right John, we can't know what Eve was thinking. You know, I think Azure may have hit the nail on the head. I hadn't thought about a lie needing a motive at all (even though I was dealing with Abram's motive and hers being different), but she really didn't have a motive. Possibly she figured if she could convince herself that just touching would result in death that would help keep her from wanting to eat it - didn't work though, did it? Thanks for the help, both of you, dear sister and dear brother Cheri |

Morning John and howdy Azure again You're right about not knowing what she was thinking, that's for sure. But I think maybe Azure hit the nail on the head. I hadn't thought about that at all - no real motive to lie. And lies generally do have some kind of motive. Perhaps if she thought just touching the fruit would result in death that would help keep her from thinking about eating it - didn't work though did it?? Thanks to both of you, dear sister and brother!! Cheri |

Shalom and good evening to you I see what you are saying but then we go back to the point that if it isn't true, it's an untruth or a lie. Even a half truth is considered a whole lie (such as when Abram introduced Sarai as his sister which was true up to a point, but still a lie because it wasn't the whole truth). Now possibly Sarai's motive was more innocent than Abram's, but isn't it still a lie? Maybe I'm over-thinking the whole thing :-) Cheri |

Shalom y'all, The little discussion we had going earlier about lying got me to thinking about this particular scene in Gen. 3:3 when Eve said to the serpent that God said not to even touch the fruit. We know that God created everything perfect, nothing was flawed, so I don't think it could be she was confused or forgetful (after all there wasn't a whole lot to remember, just don't eat from that tree over there, how hard is that?) And she hadn't eaten the fruit yet, so sin has not yet entered the picture. Her spirit was still alive and well. How did she know to lie since that would come with the knowledge of good and evil from the forbidden tree? (I do realize that Adam could have told her that, but then the only change would be how did Adam know to lie?) Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or better yet, done some study on it? Just thinking :-) Cheri |

John :-) No I wasn't talking about that at all. Not now. I just thought maybe you got confused, being up so late last night!! (Your email must have been around 3:30 am your time!!) And I thought I was the night owl. hahaha Just wanted to remind you. Cheri |

Shalom, good morning John No, David was not a priest, those were the Levites, and the higher up priests (for lack of a better term), I believe, were of Aaron's lineage. Messiah was of the seed of David, of the tribe of Judah 1 Chron. 2:3-15. Be blessed Cheri |

Shalom and good morning Tim, OK, you DO have me on that one :-). Of course, if saying nothing were an option, that would definitely be the one to use, agreed. Have a great day yourself Me? I'll be having a discussion with the sandman after working all night shortly. Cheri |

Hi Hank, I'm not wishing for a debate either. Nor am I wanting to appear short and curt, but (there's that word again) I didn't want to be rude by not responding or have you think I was ignoring you. You're too nice to ignore or be rude to. :-) Thank you for your post. Shalom and have a great night Cheri |

Tim and Azure, shalom, One last time, let me see if I can get this straightened out Tim, you said: "We should have enough faith in God to trust Him to save, or, if it is His will, to die for Him. Can we imagine the apostle Paul lying to avoid being beheaded? What if Christ had lied to avoid the cross? I remember the story of Bishop Polycarp inviting those who came to arrest him to sit down for dinner with him. All of our lives are His to use as He sees fit." I say Amen! I thoroughly agree with each and every one of you in that area. And I would hope if it came down to it, that I would not lie to save myself, I hope I could just say 'Lord, I'm coming home, maybe a little sooner than I planned but hallelujah I'm on my way!' I was talking about being complicit in the harming or death of someone else who is not guilty of anything deserving bodily harm or death. Such as not telling the whereabouts of someone to a group of vigilantes. Maybe I'm wrong, but if that person is taken and harmed because of what I said then I see that as myself being a part of harming or murdering that person. (And just to make sure -- I'm not talking about telling the truth or not telling the truth in a legal court system.) Cheri |

Shalom Tim, I'm bowing out of this discussion with this: if history ever repeats itself (and it does) where being a christian is against the law and punishable by death (and it could happen in our country) you have just told me that many here would turn in a brother/sister rather than lie. That's sad, and it sure isn't edifying to know that a member of God's family would turn another over to wicked evil. There is also nowhere in the bible that says it's OK to be complicit in the death of an innocent person. Cheri |

Steve, I read Bowler's post with the view that he was stating the Pharisees saw the act as breaking the Sabbath law - for the Sabbath law requires no work to be done (Ex. 20:8-11), hauling an animal out of a pit certainly is work. But the exertion required to save the animal out of a pit is the letter, not the spirit of that law. That's how I read Bowler's "teachings," Actually, I don't see that he is "teaching" anything, he's stating his understanding of lesser and greater wrongs. I stated my position once, and that is enough. Cheri |

Shalom Steve, I will give you the last word on this. Bowler already did a marvelous job in his answer to Azure in post number 207920, I see no need to parrot him. I'll just simply say - "What he said!!" Have a great day Cheri |
