questions

[Robertt]

Hi Robert , yes , I agree , it's very easy to misunderstand and to b misunderstood on the internet . So much communication is missed when u haven't met the person face to face , all those expressions , tones of voice , body language etc . I'm sorry if u r dissapointed with this site 😞 please know that it's the same for all of us , just trying to build connections with other Christians . I find it helpful to always assume and infer the best possible from any one , unless it's very obvious that I shouldn't 😆 . Always assume the best about your brother's and sisters on here and remember , it's just as easy for them to b unnecessarily offended by u as it is for u to b unnecessarily offended by them . So , why not b patient , imagine the best and stay with us ? 😁 .

if people just answer questions and stick to the topic makes it a lot easier to keep focuseed .

I find when the discussion moves off topic and queries aspects of words chosen rather than discussing the question it opens way too many other doors.



For another Question i would ask

Why did God need to destroy all the animals when he decided to remove the humans (except for 8) why not just remove life from all those he thought were wrong.

I underdtnd the need to remove the corrupt seed from human kind. but why the animals too

the intersting thing is when did the first negative thought enter Adams mind.

Before he sinned or after ?

surely he had many sinful thoughts before sin. the scriptures say we only sin when we allow our desires to rule.

So Adam could overcome all these thoguths and not act on them. But the lure of his wife offering somethign he knew to be a sin was too much for him to fight.

so we dont know how Adam felt or thought before he eventually chose to sin. AS sin is a choice.

but each to their own thoughts

Thanks Robert. I don't agree that the scriptures say we only sin when we allow our desires to rule. Jesus said:

“"You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Mt 5:27-28 NKJV)

Adam named animals that were in the garden only.

Adam named animals that were in the garden only.

Not according to the bible:

“Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.” (Ge 2:19 NKJV)

Did anyone else have CC parked at Go Daddy over the weekend?

Not sure. What's Go Daddy?

 

[GWH]

Not sure. What's Go Daddy?

I think it is a site that helps with setting up websites,
but apparently you were not locked out of CC for the weekend like I was,
since you did not get a message saying CC was parked there.
Hmmm?

yep you dont agree and yet use a scripture that says it as well.

yes too many interpreations of the scriptures.

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.


i guess if we actually all had the same Holy Spirit withinus we would agree more.

maybe i am jsut a goat and not a sheep like you are. so i will never understand the truth.

all good.

so try timing that.

if it all happens in day 6. The day man was created. how did he get time to name all SPECIES of Animals before God finally made woman


I think we are missing something. .... but again we will never agree as we are all blinded by our own thoughts.

Enjoy it all.

Well, some thoughts are more blinding than others.
A truthseeker tries to be conscious of bias and strive for objectivity.
For example, I am biased toward believing God loves everyone based on 1Tim.2:3-4,
but I try to consider the Scriptures cited by TULIPists to see if I should convert.
(Not yet :^)

That's still in the garden. Oh, where's all the fish he named? I guess that part got skipped, or God didn't make any fish for Adam to name.

Yes, either there was a glitch or the owner was late on the website's bill.

 

[DavidLamb]

Thanks. I wasn't exactly locked out, though there was a day when I couldn't access CC because it wouldn't open, and I just got a "timed out" message.

 

[DavidLamb]

Yes, I am sorry, I think I misread or misunderstood your previous post. I thought you were saying that we only sin when we act out our evil thoughts, which is why I quoted the bible passage. But on re-reading your post, I see you didn't say that at all. I apologise for the misunderstanding.

 

[DavidLamb]

That's still in the garden. Oh, where's all the fish he named? I guess that part got skipped, or God didn't make any fish for Adam to name.

How can that be still in the Garden of Eden? Adam was in Eden, and we are told that God brought all the animals to Noah there, not that they were all there already.

 

[GWH]

Hmm. It is interesting that our experiences were not identical.
I wish the administrator would post an explanation when glitches occur.

So what's your answer to this apparent difficulty ?

Some may be missing the message meant to be communicated by God via the writer of Genesis,
which is that humanity was created to be good stewards of earth as they fellowship with God.
Naming new species as they are discovered was NOT the reason for writing.

There are two different communications here. It is surely implied in Genesis 2:19 that God communicate with Adam, otherwise Adam would not have known that God wanted him to name the animals.

“Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.” (Ge 2:19 NKJV)

Incidentally, I don't see anything there about naming new species as they are discovered. It says that God brought the animals to Adam for naming.

Secondly, God communicates with mankind through His written word, including Genesis. I agree that Adam naming the animals was part and parcel of his stewardship.

Yes, and a second part was being a good husband by dissuading Eve from eating the forbidden fruit--
or from partaking of the tree of knowledge the forbidden way (without divine permission or God's guidance).
