42 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | ebrain | 186915 | ||
Hi Vincent. Your question made me think that what follows might be of interest. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. ebrain. Subject: Fw: The Fall. The popular view on Genesis Ch 3, certainly in this Country is that Adam was a wimp, in that he did nothing to help his wife when she was tempted, however, my investigations have shown him to be a hero. I am interested to find out if others can arrive, or have arrived at the same conclusion. If you have not considered this matter,and wish to do so then I would suggest that you avoid human commentaries, and rely solely on the Divine commentary. The Bible is the best commentary there is on the Bible. Just look at what the word of God has to say else ware about Adam, Eve, and the fall. Good hunting. Yours in Christ. pabrain Time is somewhat limited at the moment, so I will have to be brief. Read Romans Ch 5 v 14. and ask yourself what is meant by Adam being a Type of Him who was to come? What did Jesus do to save His Bride, what did Adam do to save his Bride? Read 2 Cor Ch 5 v 21. "He who knew no sin permitted Himself to be made sin" Also don't forget that Adam was not deceived 2nd Tim Ch 2 v 14. He knew exactly what he was doing. Now how does v15 say that Eve would be saved?. Did Adam go to the tree to obtain the fruit as She did, no he went to her and took the fruit from her,,, he took her sin upon himself. Don't worry about the second part of v 6 of Gen Ch 3. I will explain that another time. Must close now. In Him pabrain My reason for asking this question in the first place was to find out if anyone else arrived at the same conclusion that I had. I once heard a Speaker describe Adam as "A hopeless, helpless, useless, spineless good for nothing, who did not even raise a finger to help his wife who he could clearly see was in danger of disobeying God". The Speaker went on to say that "Eve at least put up token resistance, and as we know from Scripture she was deceived, we also know that Adam was not deceived, which really puts him beneath contempt". All this I found difficult to accept, it did not gel, it did not seem to have the ring of truth. My approach was two fold, firstly from the Divine view point, and secondly from the Satanic view point. The Lord our God created/made all things in 6 days. His comment on the first 5 days was "It is good", regarding the 6th day He said "It is very good" This was the day in which He made man both the male, and the female. I do not think it would be an exaggeration to say that the making of man was for God "The supreme pinnacle of Divine creative genius". He made man in the image of God, and after His likeness, so what likeness of God does Adam display? hopeless, helpless? oh no never, never, not the God that I know. could we say to our Lord "Is this the best that You can do?" I think not. To be continued. In Him stbrain |

43 | 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. |

44 | 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. |

45 | 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. |

46 | 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. |

49 | 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. |

50 | 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. |

51 | 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. |

57 | Lot righteous? | Gen 19:8 | ebrain | 186389 | ||
Regarding your concern about Lot, have a look at the question I came across, and my answer bellow. Question: How did Abraham, Issac and Jacob show respect for women? Answer: 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. However, despite what we may thing of Abraham, God's judgment of this man is shown bellow. Jam 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."* And he was called the friend of God. We may indeed have problems with the way in which persons in Scripture behaved, and the Lord's judgment of them, but who are we to question God? Of Lot it is written. Gen 19:22 "Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. Shall the judge of all the earth do right? |

59 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163442 | ||
Pharoah hardened his own heart, it is unthinkable to suggest that God would do anything to prevent a person accepting Him. Pharoah was considered to be a god by the Egyptians, he allready had a hard heart,and considered that he was in competion with the tribal god of the Hebrews. When it says "the LORD hardened Pharoah's heart", all it means is that an allready hard man was made even harder as a result of what the Lord our God did to the land of Egtpt. It is put this way ,however, so that you have yet another opertunity to exercise faith in God, as required at Heb 11:6. |
