LOL the scriptures do say that
is the thing you just refuse to accept it. if it is written, its written. thats all im saying, and i dont have a denomination, nor do i follow any sort of theology courses or seminaries. if you wish to place a label on me, i like " disciple of and believer in Jesus and His Gospel" im not sure how the scriptures saying what they say, is somehow an issue.
the issue is men and our understanding of things because as that psalm clearly says things are out of order because of what adam did. if you take the time to look at adam well actually here
this is Gods will for mankind, no reason, Just Because God Loves mankind made after Him....
Genesis 1 " And God said,
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God 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.
29And God said,
Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:
and it was so. 31And
God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."
mans purpose is to rule the earth, to have dominion over all the earth all that God made Look at How God treats adam and look at the authority adam expresses and note, that adam is free to eat of the tree of Life.
Genesis 2 " 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. <<< mans life came out of God
8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of
every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17But
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and
brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. ( adams authority) 20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man.23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ( again adams authority and adams word) 25And
they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
were not ashamed."
Now this is before transgression. note there is no Law of moses, no teaching that we shall not kill, steal , lie ect, there is God blessing man for no reason Just because He is Good and Loves us and desires to have a family that will choose to Love Him. then look How man changes after man changed and Jesus came to change us Back to what we are meant to be.
adams intended place was fellowship with God, comfort in His presence, even naked adam had no shame in Gods presence, freedom to the tree of Life, Gods favor, Gods abundant blessings upon mankind..... he followed the One who is come to steal kill and destroy and cursed creation being its ruler or cmmander or " authority" as adam went so went man, as Jesus goes so goes man. one led us astray, One leads us Home. to eternal Life which we were created for from the start.
i suppose it would matter what one defines a god. is immortality ? divine nature? a spirit of holiness? being claimed by God as His child ? having faith that can do impossible things? the scripture says alot that never gets discussed because of theology courses. men teaching men how to understand things never works, its strange the bible doesnt mention courses and schools for theology it really only makes mention of the setting here
2 timothy 4 " For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
The bible teaches the spiritual gift of understanding, through seeking and prayer. I sort of believe the many teachers have been at it for centuries.
