921 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | azurelaw | 208179 | ||
Dear Steve, My thoughts? Hope it maybe sharpened and blessed through this dicussion :-) I think you might have noticed that my preceding posts on the thread rejected the idea that Eve lied. But "misquoted" (as you say) could happen and this, when based on the scripture written, I agree it my assumption. For I see from the flow of the scripture Gen 2:15-22, it seems to me much of Eve's knowledge (including God's command to Adam) is second-handed (i.e. through Adam), except that she knows God in the first place in person (Gen 2:22). So, am I reasonable to think that Eve's knowledge is to a certain extent inferior to Adam's? She is made as a helper to Adam, who needs to teach her everything for his fulfilling the duty given in Gen 2:15. Since: scripture does not say God gave the command to Eve again directly, it is very likely that she got it second-handed. The way she expressed the command differently does not render that she lied as I have pointed out earlier in my post 208127. For the phrase "God has said" (Gen 3:3), Eve was responding to the serpent's tricky question "Indeed, has God said..." (Gen 3:1). Since she knows there is a sovereign God at the first place, she "could probably" know about the command second-handed and scripture does not record a direct command to her, I still don't feel it strong enough to consider God gave her the command directly but just Eve was responding to the serpent in a misleading way innocently. Did I make myself clear or am I just muddying the water? I have to admit that the above looks pretty much on speculation. However, scriptures seem to leave so much blank there that I am tempted to use my fallibel logic for the course. I am open to correction :-) Shalom Azure P.S. My use of 1 Tim 2:11-14 is in concern of Eve's less submissiveness as demonstrated in her expressing the command her own way (my post 208127) thus causing her fall into transgression. |

Dear Seeker, No, it is for sure that sin did not enter the world unless they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Please re-read Genesis 2 and 3. Shalom Azure |

Dear Lionstrong, No, the other way round : the serpent's misleading question pose onto Eve. She responded in a misled way. I apologzie for the misusage of word (blushed!) Shalom Azure |

Dear Steve, I, too, enjoy it much. By the way, what has just come to mind, I was pondering about the tricky way that the serpent has distracted Eve's focus from her duty of obedience to the consequence. When the focus is on the consequence, could one be easily tempted to see if it is true? I am not referring this to Eve, but to believers when our faith is tested. Shalom Azure |

Dear Cheri, Chuck and John, May I respectfully suggest that we start a new thread "tree of life" in order to reduce the load of the original question on this thread as the discussion tends to start with a new issue. Shalom Azure |

929 | Whats a womens place in the Church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | azurelaw | 180290 | ||
Dear wiley, Is it necessary to have a woman writing a book (or books) in order to show God's putting equal weight on both sexes? Does it need to quantify the deeds of each sex on a balancing scale to prove God's justice? Isn't it that God's view on the two sexes as one flesh? (see Gen 2:21-24) Do you think the appearance (the visible part) of a person that usually draws much attention is more important than his internal organs (the hidden part) or vice versa? Shalom Azure |

930 | Whats a womens place in the Church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | azurelaw | 180304 | ||
Dear 2Tim215, Thanks for your response. Yes, you are right that Gen 2:21-24 talks about man and woman become one in flesh. However, don't forget that out of Adam, Eve was made; which means Eve was in fact part of Adam. Adam was made in the image of God. Therefore, both Adam and Eve attribute to the image of God. For my part concerning degree of importance on the appearance and inner organs of a person, I just want to say that male just like the appearance of a person though getting most of the attention, but female (as the inner organs)is regarded with equal importance even though it seems to gain less notice. Hope I have explained it clear. Shalom Azure |

Dear Steve, Then, did Seth bear the image of God since Adam was made according to the image of God? Do you mean that before Adam's eating of the forbidden fruit, God's image was still reflected on him. However, after that, Adam beared no more of God's image but just a sinful image. Thus, Seth (since he was born after the fall) beared only the image of Adam? Thanks in advance for your elaboration Shalom Azure |

Thanks Jeff, They are helful indeed. Can you explain to me "...because of the angels" (1 Cor 11:10)? I have no idea what did Paul mean on these few words in relation to former verses when I read this portion. Shalom Azure |

936 | A divorced choir conductor cannot serve? | 1 Tim 3:2 | azurelaw | 192265 | ||
I know the topic of divorce has been discussed a lot in the past. However, my quick search on the subject seems could not find me something relevant to the situation. Does this overseer also apply to choir conductor? Are we to terminate the choir conductor's ministry due to his/her recent divorce despite his/her most willingness to serve? Shalom Azure |

Dear Eddie, Welcome to the forum. Thank you very much for your loving kindness shown to the forum users. However, the one you are responding was in 2001 and that was the only question this user ever posted. Therefore, I am afraid you might not get a reply from her. Stay around and enjoy the forum.

940 | Understanding being saved. | 2 Tim 2:15 | azurelaw | 177998 | ||
Dear Liliesofthefield, Your example is interesting, but can you provide biblical examples to elaborate the understanding of sins attributing to Blaspheming against the Holy Spirit? I guess the example you put here is a made-up one not a factual one, thus I have reservation in agreeing to such explanation. I would be glad to see your scriptural based examples to clear the same doubt of mine. God bless. :-) Azure |
