Adam might still be naming the animals, pining for a mate, longing for a spouse and perhaps nearly going out of his mind waiting on God to provide him with a help meet, whilst doing the garden boy job of maintaining and looking after the garden of Eden all by himself. The nearly going out of our minds waiting on God, feeling like we are all by ourselves, scattered and few at best, with the parallel of the whole world groans for the manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God…may be where God stepped in to bring relief, mercy and peace to Adam, that He promises to us, who endure till the end…of our wait…our hope unending, proven, established and made perfect in the purging fire of long suffering Faith of Christ in us our hope of Glory.

Gods plans don’t stop. They finish. They don’t fail, they accomplish for us the better end. Adam too is saved through Christ in us who have the better promise that without us, Adam would be finished, terminated, ended but is to be accomplished, perfected and finished in the Image of God that

Heb 11:40  God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. :)

That was an extremely haughty and misguided thing to say about an entire nation of sons and daughters of God.

King David saw Bathsheba bathing and lusted after her, did WRONG WITH HER resulting in pregnancy, had her husband  killed, then had her all to himself in marriage.   HOWEVER, the baby died!

Abraham, didn't await God's promise, and at the suggestion of Sarah, "went into his handmaid" and she had a son ISHMAEL that was "the father of the Muslim nation" being blessed by God thru the Abrahamic Covenant.

Had God allowed David's son to live he probably would have been a notable person but HE didn't!
Had God caused Ishmael to die--we the JEWS nor the world right now wouldn't be dealing with a history of TERRORISM
caused by his decendants!

If you think the Muslims are the sole cause of "terrorism" then I'd suggest you do a little research and get your facts straight. But to avoid turning this into a political debate, I'll stop there.

Daywalker...I am sure there ARE other terrorists but the one's I clearly fear the most are the ones that yell:  "alli,alli akbar" before the big KERBOOM!

Hi Duane,

As God is sovereign every single thing that has ever happened down to the most minuscule detail is exactly as He planned it.

Isa 46:10  Declaring the end from the beginning,
       And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
       Saying, "My counsel shall stand,
       And I will do all My pleasure,'

We can not second guess what a perfect God has already decided will be. How ridiculous to think that things would be better another way than the perfect plan God already is working out I do realize that it is very difficult seeing so many things are so messed up in this world the way it is now. But I am totally confident that God in His wisdom and justice will succeed with His plan according to His great love for this creation and will have an absolutely perfect outcome. Here is an email of Ray's that helps explain why things must be the ways they are for now.

It is true that there are many mysteries that we do not understand. And yet, there is much that we do understand, at least in part.

God is GOOD.  What IS good?  How does anyone BECOME GOOD?

Take a very close look at ANY VIRTUE, Jake, and see HOW IT BECAME A VIRTUE! Is "truthfulness" a virtue if everyone always was and always will be "truthful?" No, because there is NOTHING TO COMPARE IT WITH!  Is "patience" a virtue that one can buy at a department store?  Can "patience" be developed and achieved QUICKLY AND WITHOUT DISTRESS?  I think not.

There is nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING that we can come to understand as part of our knowledge, that is not understood by how that bit of knowledge CONTRASTS with OTHER pieces of knowledge. Everything that exists is only understood by contrasts.  How does one know what "big" is if he doesn't know what "small" is, and vice-a-versa?  How can we say something is rough if we don't have any concept of smooth?  Up is only up in relation or contrast to down.   Light is contrasted with darkness, etc., etc., etc.

Do you see where this is going?  If we are to appreciate "good," it is essential that we have an experience of "EVIL."  If we are to appreciate (I mean REALLY appreciate) LIFE, then it is essential that we ALL DIE!!!

And so, God in His infinite wisdom, has provided all of these things--we call it CREATION--so that mankind might experience all that is necessary to humble, educate, experience, and appreciate, the wonderful things that God has prepared for us.

All the ugly, evil, and misery of life can be likened to the scaffolding of a building. While creation of the new building is in progress, the scaffolding is an eye-sore, and serves NO PRACTICAL PURPOSE except the actual creation of the building. But, when the beautiful building is completed, we tear down the ugly scaffolding and throw it away--it serves no more useful purpose to our completed building, EVER.  And so we read that even DEATH, the LAST ENEMY, will be ABOLISHED (I Cor. 15:26)!!

I hope this helps your understanding a little better.

Sincerely,
Ray
