    If Adam had not sinned.

    The Scriptures reveal that there are situations in which God chooses not to foreknow the outcome. Just before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, he declared: “I am quite determined to go down that I may see whether they act altogether according to the outcry over it that has come to me, and...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    Sorry! Just found your post in answer to my last question. What is the scriptual basis for this idea?

    If Adam had not sinned.

    How do you explain Genesis 1:28 ?

    If Adam had not sinned.

    The argument that God’s not foreknowing all future events and circumstances in full detail would evidence imperfection on his part is, in reality, an arbitrary view of perfection. Perfection, correctly defined, does not demand such an absolute, all-embracing extension, inasmuch as the perfection...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    Yes. God purposed that Adam and Eve and their children make the whole earth a paradise. He did not intend that humans grow old and die; nor did he want mankind to harm the environment. However, because of the poor choices made by our first parents, we have inherited sin and death. (Genesis...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    God has given us the gift of free will, so we can make our own choices about how we will live. He wants us to make the right choices, and his Word, the Bible, tells us how we can do that. Consider the words of Moses, as found in Deuteronomy chapter 30. Is it difficult to know what God requires...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    Gen. 2:16, 17: “God also laid this command upon the man: ‘From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.’” (It was not God’s original purpose for man...

    James Cameron is a better God than Yahweh!

    We have brought about most of the problems on the earth. This is not what Yahweh intended, or purposes for the future. Deuteronomy 32:4-5 4 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; Righteous and upright is he. 5...

    Eternal Punishment or Annihilationism?

    Hi shinydarkrai94, The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    Correct. That's why they eventually died, and no longer exist on the earth or in heaven.

    If Adam had not sinned.

    Gen. 1:26: “God went on to say: ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.’” (So, God’s...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    Yes, Psalm 37:29 "The upright will have the earth for their heritage, and will go on living there for ever". This verse makes it clear that God's basic purpose regarding the earth and mankind has not changed. In time God sent his Son to die on behalf of mankind so that those who would put faith...

    If Adam had not sinned.

    It was not Gods original purpose for man someday to die. He warned Adam that he would die if he ate from the tree of Knowledge. Genesis 3:19 tells us that he returned to the dust that he was made from.

    2000 yrs old men?

    Some may feel that these words were not fulfilled because all of Jesus’ disciples who were present when he said those words died before the establishment of God’s Kingdom in the heavens. The Interpreter’s Bible even says of this verse: “The prediction was not fulfilled, and later Christians...

    The Trinity

    The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine...

    who are ...SONS OF GOD... in the bible

    The fame and dread of the Nephilim, it appears, gave rise to many mythologies of heathen people who, after the confusion of languages at Babel, were scattered throughout the earth. Though the historical forms of the Genesis account were greatly distorted and embellished, there was a remarkable...

    Where is the soul?

    Definition: In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew ne′phesh and the Greek psy·khe′. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being...

    Saints

    According to Roman Catholic teaching, saints are those who died and are now with Christ in heaven and who have been given recognition by the Church for outstanding holiness and virtue. The Tridentine profession of faith states that the saints are to be invoked as intercessors with God and that...
