    "The Meaning of Foreknew in Romans 8:29"

    I agree ... so far. Well, I'm not an Arminian or a Calvinist. I'm a Calviminian. LOL And I'm open to altering my views, but that is where my beliefs are falling right now. I agree, if it starts with predestination the first word, "to know beforehand" makes no sense at all. God knows...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Eve died due to the consequences of transgressing the role for which she was created ... the very reason she was there was to be a helper suitable for Adam Gen. 2:18 and to be the glory of him, i.e. make him look good. 1Co. 11:7 What was the exact moment when Eve failed in the role for which...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Well, Eve did not get the command Adam got. We can assume Eve got really creative and invented all kinds of other reasons not to go near the tree. Or we can say Eve was created with a faulty mind or memory, perhaps Alzheimer's or something. Or ... we could make up a situation where God comes to...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    You are correct. The "World" was created, and sin did not enter into it until a specific person "sinned". And God says it entered through one man, "Adam", not one woman "Eve". I agree. The source of sin is Adam, not Eve. I would be hard pressed to say whether it is limited...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Here's the problem. Say God commands Moses to do something in scripture. Are you commanded to do absolutely everything God commanded Moses? How many others has God given commands to in scripture. Are you obligated to obey all those commands as well? In the New Testament we have a...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Unfortunately, Eve's quote is not what God commanded Adam alone before she was created, and God uses the singular "You" with Adam when He says, "Have "You" eaten of the tree I commanded "You" not to eat of?" and again when He hands out Adam's consequences. God says the command was only for Adam...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    So, if we teach as commandments of God the precepts of men, or others do so and command us to do what they say instead of what God says, are we obligated to obey them? It wasn't "God's Command" for Eve, or God would have given it to BOTH of them when He said, be fruitful and multiply and to put...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Transgression. Not sin From G3845; violation: - breaking, transgression. Sin: Perhaps from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313; properly to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize), that is, (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin: - for your faults, offend, sin...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    I'm sorry. Eve wasn't there when the command was given to Adam (Singular) and in every reference to God's command thereafter God uses the singular "You" stating it was only Adam He gave the command to. If you are stating that you are to obey made up commands of God someone else tells you are...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    So, Adam and Eve were born sinners? Prove it.

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    It was AFTER nothing happened when she ate. There is no sin, no violation, no transgression. While both were commanded to be fruitful and multiply and to rule over the earth, this ONE command was for Adam alone. Not for Eve at all. Adam made up what he told Eve out of whole cloth. No command was...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Well spiritual death - separation from God and being doomed for hell without a sacrifice was instantaneous ... death spread to all men ... so the "second" death was instantaneous. The 1st death took a while.

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    God confirms three times the command was only for Adam. (Singular, not plural You's) The "Death" was instantaneous the moment Adam ate, for all humanity. Separation from God. Having an eternity in hell in store for us in our future. It's why God killed the animals and clothed them with skins...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Understand ... knowledge of good and evil was not hers at all. When she touched the fruit, nor when she ate. And disobedience to a made up command, as if from God, that really had nothing at all to do with you, or anyone else, is not a sin, is it? God has said, "Thou shalt not eat pizza on...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    She died because she failed in both roles for which she was created. She had absolutely no consequences at all till she gave to Adam and got him to eat. You have to ignore the details of the passage, and all the other passages on sin entering into the world through one man, ... Eve was "in...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    So, ... You are saying God commanded you not to eat of the tree in the garden and all your grandchildren as well ... all at the same time? When no one else was there? Really? if God wanted Eve to obey He'd have given them the command at the same time he told BOTH of them to rule overt the earth...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Awesome ... I love it. There are a ton of these out there. For example, David became one flesh (Took as wives) 7 other women before he committed adultery and then became one flesh (took as wives) at least 10, possibly as many as 20 additional wives. Yet God says his only sins were...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Ok, so we know what Eve said is not what God told Adam before she was created, right. The "or even touch it part". We also know nothing at all happened when she ate. Nothing at all. And we have no idea how long that time period was between when she ate, and when she gave Adam the fruit and got...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Eve knew nothing but the lies/distortions her husband told her. Eve NEVER disobeyed God's commands in Genesis. God says 3 times he gave Adam (Singular) the command. It was for him alone. Nothing happened when Eve ate. Nothing at all. We don't know how much earlier Eve ate, could...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Well, that would presume Eve was created with a very flawed memory or that she had a reason not to trust what Adam told her was true. I can't see this hapening. LOL And that would presume Adam knew absolutely all the New and Old Testament and could understand what a substitutionary death was...
