Does God Create People Today?

[Depleted]

But when the bible says that "Adam knew his wife", I always took that to mean they had sexual relations. So that's different from, say for example, God knowing you before you were born and whispering in your mother's ear to name you Bruce. LOL

I think (as in opinion again, not based on scriptural authority kind of thing) that Adam knew Eve is all of it.
-- Knew her moods.
-- Knew her as a person.
-- Knew her likes and dislikes.
-- Knew what made her happy, and what got him kicked into the dog house.
-- Knew her physically and intimately.

It's that marriage/family kind of know. Other than physically, it's that same know we have with our brothers, sisters, parents and BBFs, (if we have BBFs.)

There was this Christian philosopher named Francis Schaeffer who opened up his home for long discourse in philosophical stuff about God. They would have long sessions of debate all evening, every evening and even longer on Saturday. Whoever wanted to come, just came. But the debates were make-my-head-hurt-from-thinking-too-much affairs constantly.

And then there was this young married couple in the back who kept talking to each other apart from the rest of the conversation. And they kept this up for a few weeks, before Schaeffer pulled them aside and asked what they were talking about.

"We're just trying to get to know each other."

Schaeffer told them, "You can talk to each other from morning to night for the rest of your life and you will still never fully know each other."

It shut them up in a good way. (It's what they needed to hear right then.)

We humans try to know someone and we will never be able to completely know anyone. BUT when God knows you, he has always "knowed" you.

His information is complete. We tend to keep trying to get there. lol

I don't think it's a bad thing to try to get to know someone completely, but God knows so much more than we will ever know.

If Adam really knew Eve - he would think long and hard at this question from her before answering....just sayin'

Mat_24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Rom_8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Col_3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
1Ti_5:21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
2Ti_2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Tit_1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

1Pe_2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
2Jn_1:1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2Jn_1:13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

A little baby spirit?

Close to what I was picturing, and yet, not where I was missing it. Where does the idea that there are baby spirits somewhere come from? I've seen the concept in fiction, but have never heard of it talked about as believers, so I'm completely naive and ignorant.

And if you don't know the etymology of the concept, (and how many people do go around looking up the history for an idea, so I don't really expect you would lol), where did you learn about it? Who taught you and why? Is it biblical? And mostly, what is it? Why are there baby spirits, where do they live, and what do they do? I seriously mean I've never heard of this as a Christian concept, so I don't know.

(Somehow people seem to know a lot more about angels than I do too, so that I don't know doesn't mean it's not real. It simply means I don't know.)

Scripture does say that Adam became a living soul. But, for me to try to state my opinion here of this? Would bring the wrath of CC down on me.

Ha! My opinion would too, and I suspect we're on two different sides on the issue. lol

It looks like we are going to need more coffee and these...

In assorted sizes and colors....

I've got a few dozen of the latter stockpiled, but, sorry. Hubby has a one-cup coffee maker because I don't drink coffee. I just do straight jackets.

(How many people are now thinking, "Oooooooooh! That explains her?" lol)

I will take a medium in turquoise please. Not too tight.

Sorry. We only have XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL and longs. lol

LOL....and I bet you were not on their mind at the time too.

My oldest brother was born 27 months before me. My older brother 14 months. I think the only thought was, "Please, Lord, be merciful, and not yet." Alas...

Why don't y'all just accept the Biblical definition of soul?

Man does not have a soul but is a living soul.

What did Jesus mean by this?....and the word "my" is a personal pronoun.

Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

 

[blue_ladybug]

I'd like to know the answer to this myself. Hopefully she'll come back and elaborate.

My versions says that man became a living being instead of living soul.

We're also told to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all of our strength.

There are other scriptures as well. Yes, we have a soul.

The secret things belong to the LORD our God...

Blue, we all want answers but God has a reason why He keeps some things a secret. But if you REALLY want to know, ask Him but be prepared because the answer might blow your mind.

If God does not create people today ….----à means ; there is no rest in the book of life (names that He is creating physically or sent to this planet for wandering/sojourning) all of them already well sent entirely so the last day is at hand , or today He does not create , but tomorrow or the days after He will create the rest names.

Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

The answer is NO. We were all created millions of years ago. We roamed the Earth in the Spirit until Satan wanted to be worshiped and rebelled. We will again roam the Earth in the Spirit at Jesus return. The following is part of a post I had on another thread.

Three Earth Ages Three Heaven Ages. Not Three Earths Not Three Heavens. At this time we are in the Second Earth Age. The First Earth Age having past after Satan and his followers rebelled. It must have been Heaven on Earth witch it was. Tulips and other plant life have been found in Alaska in the frozen tundra. They wont grow there now but they did then. The North pole is off we know that. There is a difference of about 500 kilometers between Geographic North and Magnetic North poles. Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them and said unto them be fruitful and multiply and REPLENISH the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Notice the word REPLENISH. To fill to a FORMER level. Restore etc.

Wouldn't the soulish part of us be an inheritance from families genes? Body too.

Hi Stone,

Interesting thought!

I don't have a scripture for this, but I believe family genes give us our color for eyes, hair, skin, etc. The physical traits.

As for the soul, maybe we take on some of our parents or siblings personality, and maybe genes play part, I don't know. It would make sense if DNA does have a hand in our personality.

But I really believe at the end of the day we are uniquely ours in personality even though some traits maybe be similar. With 8 siblings, we're all so very different, even if we might share some personality traits that are similar. But not one of us is exactly alike or even close to being exactly alike.

And I also believe that the male and female personality is different in how God created our psyche to be. So in that way I would also agree that DNA has something to do with the personality of the male and female because we're different. It's how God created us to be.

Thanks, Stone. I'll be pondering this for some time probably.

Ive been reading thru this thread, and this exactly.
Will the church at large ever abandon greek philosophy and turn to the original mindset, a biblical simple non mystical mindset.

It was a testimony of what a minister saw when taken to heaven Lynn.
