    Was the "Fall" meant to happen?

    So after reading the first three chapters of Genesis, I came to the realization that the fall of Adam and Eve was meant to happen and here is why. If Adam and Eve did not sin, we wouldnt have gained the image of G'd. Genensis 3:22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us...

    If blood is prohibited, can Christians eat oysters?

    With Thanksgiving season happening in the U.S., oyster stuffing is common to eat. However, some creatures, such as oysters, have hemolymph that serves the same purpose as blood. Does hemolymph qualify as lifeblood, prohibited in Genesis 9:6 and Acts 15:20, 28–29? If so, do oysters still contain...

    The Correct Perspective of...

    Here is the correct perspective of the first three Chapters of the book of Genesis. Genesis 1-3 Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day...

    Stewardship of the Earth & Climate Change (Genesis 2:15, Isaiah 24:4-6, Jeremiah 2:7)

    Genesis and Physics

    Advanced physics is not kind to atheists in that too much of the way the universe works isn't random. So much is actually incompatible with randomness/chance. That is as deep into physics I will/can go, except to say that the concept of multiple universes, which I equate to multiple dimensions...

    Cosmic signs of Lord Jesus

    I have done independent research into signs of our Lord in the Cosmos... and I assure you, it is full of Him! There are no competitors to our God. If you want to believe in cosmic signs, they will be very clear and easy to interpret. They are based, if you are receptive to the good meanings...

    John Walton's Lost World of Adam and Eve

    In case anyone missed it, a lecture by John Walton on Adam and Eve. The video covers topics such as "who did Cain marry?" And "was Eve made of Adam's rib bone?".

    Is there a link between Genesis 3:14 & Job 1:7?

    I've tried looking online but I'm unable to find anything. In Genesis 3:14 you have God cursing the serpent to crawl on the earth and in Job 1:7 you have God asking the Satan "From where have you come?" and then Satan responding "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down...

    Genesis through ancient eyes with John Walton.

    I found this nice lecture on the book of Genesis through the functional view of John Walton, I felt it was pretty enlightening regarding the Hebrew observed in the book of Genesis. It this talk, Walton reflects on Adam and Eve's mortality, he touches on the relationship between Genesis 1 and 2...

    Creation: "Let there be....." Ever wondered why the word "let" was used here?

    Its an interesting choice of words. We would describe these events as "God created" this and that. Rather God said "Let" in every act of creation. Note when man was created it changed to "Let us". This is rarely noticed. Anyway, it got me thinking if this is a lesson for us when thinking...

    The 7000 years of human history - with proof

    Anyone can verify this for themselves. 1. Assuming that God's word is true when it states in multiple places that 1000 literal years is equivalent to a Day according to God, then this provides some tangible data points. 2. Two additional data points provide some boundaries. The 1000 year...

    Could dinosaurs have been purposely excluded from the Ark for some reason?

    I don't see any evidence of this in the Bible as all animals seemed to be brought on board but maybe I'm missing something. What do you think? Of course eggs could have been brought on board so the size of them isn't so much a consideration. They may have taken long periods of time to grow as...

    Gap Theory; Old Earth Creationism; Genesis 1 & 2

    I have a question about Genesis 1 & 2. View the following: Genesis 1:9-13 And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so. [10] God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw...

    Why wasn't the Sabbath a law in Genesis? Its mentioned right at Creation.

    Yet we don't see it implemented into law until Exodus, the 10 Commandments. Or was it assumed before Exodus and done automatically by God fearing people back then? I found it odd to do a word search for sabbath in Genesis and find nothing.

    Bible makes no scientific claims

    Therefore, there is no conflict between Bible and natural science.

    Does Nehemiah 9:14 teach that the Sabbath was made known through Moses, not from the beginning?

    Hello! Some say that the Sabbath is an eternal law that was practiced by Adam and Eve and should still be practiced now under the New Testament. Others say that it was a temporal law that started with the time of Moses and ended under the New Testament with Christ. With this in mind, I'd like to...

    Does Genesis 3 teach that Adam and Eve's fig-leaf loincloths (v. 7) were unable to cover nakedness?

    Hello! In Genesis 3:6-11, the first recorded effect of Adam and Eve's sin is that they realized they were naked. Because of this, they sewed fig leaves together to make loincloths, but this isn't considered enough, and their dialogue with God reveals they were still naked. Instead, in Genesis...

    The Startling Accuracy Of Genesis

    I recently wrote in the course of replying to a thread a lengthy post reflecting on the startling accuracy of the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, which I feel I should preserve here for future reference. Introduction An honorable member argued correctly the Bible is not a science...

    The Circumcision Covenant

    I've just been rereading Genesis for some other purpose and came across something interesting regarding the second Abrahamic Covenant. Genesis 17 states (NET): Abraham took his son Ishmael and every male in his household (whether born in his house or bought with money) and circumcised them...

    Hiding The Messaiah: Falsification Of Genesis 5 & 11 (conclusion)

    After 5 years of what I nearly thought impossible to do, my prayers have finally been answered and I have found, and can prove, that we are in the year 5949 AM! This is the 6th Year of the 7th Week of the 119th Jubilee! This means we are 44 Years away from the 70th Week of Daniel, and 51 Years...
