Adams power
hillsbororiver:
I woke up today thinking about how conventional Christiandom ascribes so much power to Adam in regard to the "fall" of man and how little power they claim the Lord has in saving mankind.
For years I hated Adam (& Eve) because of the condition he supposedly put us in, here he is created in a perfect environment with all his needs taken care of and then goes and screws it up for everyone who came behind him. Now we have to contend with all the results of his (their) sin and maybe, just maybe Jesus can pull our fat out of the fire. What a great deal.
When Ray showed how scripture actually tells us we are still in the creation process and eventually all will be united with Him eventually it was a very liberating and comforting message, it does not always make the trials and tribulations joyful as we are experiencing them but it does give peace to know there is a mighty purpose behind it all and not just some luck of the draw.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

I too for many years believed the yarn about the 'fall of man' so it was a real eye opener when I learnt it was just another myth. I didn't actually hate Adam , but I certainly planned to have a few words with him when I got the chance.Yes God's plan for mankind is truly amazing , why did it take me fifty years to discover it ? Knowing what I know now has transformed my life.

Amen Dave!
Took me that long as well. ;)
I was not in a state of continuous of hatred toward Adam, but when something really bad happened he would cross my mind and I can assure you it was not a feeling of brotherly love. :D
His Peace to you Brother,
Joe
P.S. I also used to think I would not have messed things up so bad if it was me that was given the opportunity he was given, yep, wrong again!

Hi Joe
If Satan was in the garden with Adam , what about all the demons ? Perhaps Adam could argue that he was merely outnumbered.

LOL ;D
He could try it, it did not work when he blamed Eve!
Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Peace Brother,
Joe
