Bible Question (short): Again, was Adam there? (Part II) |
Question (full): Robert, Seasons Greetings to you also, in His Holy Name! I appreciate your insightful answers. I pray you realize that the ultimate answer to this question in Genesis, and many other Scriptures, will come only from Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when we meet Him in the clouds. It matters not to me whether or not Adam was at the scene, at the precise moment when this conversation took place. What does really matter is, that it happened, and was the cause for our downfall. Since Adam was a type of Christ, if he were there, his action(s, or lack thereof) were certainly not Christ-like attributes. It's illustrative of one of the central themes of Scriptures, in that, man cannot make it in (to Heaven) on his own, without help from above. In spite of having a "one-on-one" relationship with the Father, Adam chose to take the 'easy' way out of situations, and not take responsibility for his own actions. I pray, continuously, that if faced with a similar situation(s), that He deliver me, lest I tend to "judge" Adam too stictly. Again, thank you Sir! Holiday Greetings, and Blessing to you and your family! |
