Bible Question:
Before the flood were people really advanced? John |
Bible Answer: John: An interesting question. I do not believe that Adam who was made in the image of God, began as a caveman looking for fire. In fact he was given dominion over all the earth and was caregiver to God's creation. The Bible is silent as to how long Adam walked with God in innocence. Nevertheless, Adam was God's link to the human race which would develop. In light of this God taught Adam many profound things which would be passed to his people. As we approach the time of the flood we find that physically and mentally humans are gifted. Sadly, their unrepentant wickedness brought judgment on all except for 8 souls. Just a few thoughts: I am open for suggestions Robert |
