Bible Question:
Thanks Tim. [quote from Tim] "The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal. It only says that, like God, they had come to know good and evil." How is it that evil came about? Where did evil come from? Obviously it was around before any creation took place. |
Bible Answer: zerotheory, "Where did evil come from? Obviously it was around before any creation took place." Are you really thinking before you write? Before any creation took place, only God, the uncreated Creator, existed. The logic of your statement is that God is evil. And then there is the fact that creation is not only of material things, but also purely spiritual unseen things. Emmaus |
