Hi Berean,

Subdue- does not equate to God having appointed the man Adam as a king over others and over all creatures great and small, so there’s that!

Scripture does not say that the man Adam was appointed as a king, which is what you said and you also stated you weren’t inventing anything. You cannot provide the scripture that speaks to Adam…[Read more]

I don’t see any scripture that says that Adam was appointed a king to rule over all of mankind and all living creatures upon the earth, before or after the fall.

Hi Berean,

I don’t see any scripture that says that Adam was appointed a king to rule over all of mankind and all living creatures upon the earth, before or after the fall.

The scriptures speaks of man, male and female humans that were to multiply and THEY would have dominion over the fish, over the birds and over all living creatures on…[Read more]

I asked you what does it mean that man was created in the image of God, what image does man have that God has and it seems your answer is his dominion over the earth.

Before sin Adam WAS the king of the earth, the shepherd of paradise.

Hi Berean,

YOU:

Is there not in the meaning of having dominion over the animal world for Adam an element of the fact that he was created in the image of God and in his likeness?

God would dominate his creation, Yes but through Adam…
Isn’t there an aspect of the “image of God”?

I asked you what does it mean that man was created in the…[Read more]

Yes, scripture tells us that man was created in God’s image, what does that mean though? How was man created in the image of God?

You: The passage from Numbers would be important only when a child’s father was from one tribe (e.g., Benjamin), and the mother was from another (e.g., Simeon). The provision to “number” through the father’s lineage was simply a clean, simple way to settle any potential confusion / disagreement. Because if both mother and father were from th…[Read more]

A few years back, I decided to publish my 25 years of research / musings on this doctrine, “Testing the Trinity”.  It is available through most on-line booksellers in either paperback or e-book format, but I also published the full book on-line and free of charge here.

About 2/3 of the book is dedicated to exposing the house of cards that is the…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer.  Apologies if I’ve already posted this link in this forum before, but here’s my take on the whole Logos question:  The Word of God

@DesireTruth:

Given the supernatural circumstances of Jesus’ birth, how can He be considered to be of the tribe of Judah and therefore qualify to be the Messiah?  Consider the following facts:

• The passage from Numbers would be important only when a child’s father was from one tribe (e.g., Benjamin), and the mother was from another (e.g., Sime…

Hi Berean,

My point still stands, Adam and Eve were ignorant, is that what you would consider to be the image of our God? 

Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit BECAUSE they DESIRED TO BE WISE, even they at least…[Read more]

@Gene,

With all the chords that are being struck right now, it’s like a symphony is playing.

Just stop with the vitriol and answer how Jesus is the “messiah” when, according to Numbers 1:2 “all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one;”…[Read more]

@Gene,

I can ask you the same question of why you’re here; when you peddle your own musings as the only truth. How many times have you told others they are wrong and proceed to explain your religious beliefs as if they are the only truth to be had. Remember you were quite pleased with what I was saying when I first joined; but you never asked w…[Read more]
