Resurgence:You answer for yourself..Now that ur eyes are open bcus adam and eve ate from the tree of d knowledge of good and evil, do people die or not? God planned that they live forever in case u don't know. That's why d 2nd adam came (Jesus) to make u get dat everlasting life that you lost to d 1st adam. They disobeyed a direct order and they surely died. You their seed too inherited the nature of sin and death that d fruit gave them. So God did not lie Resurgence:Psalm 139:7-12 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea. Jeremiah 23:23-24 "Am I a God who is near," declares the LORD, "And not a God far off? "Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?" declares the LORD "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD. Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good. 2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars." Resurgence:Apart from being all knowing (omniscient), he's also omnipotent right? The question you shd have asked urself is if God is omnipotent, if he has d power and authority to do and undo all things, why has he not forced me and others to give our lives to christ by force, why has he not punished me with chicken pox for flaunting all my body contour that's supposed to be for my husband alone or why has he not cut off my pennis that I've been using to masturrbate and fornicate, why is he being a gentleman in his appoach towards me, an ordinary creation of his hands. If you can find the answer to those questions, I believe the answer to why God ask questons wouldn't be farfetched. Believe it or not, nothing changes the fact that God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. 3 Likes |

To understand clearly the answer you seek... You may need a Hebrew/greek Bible. The old testament was written in Hebrew but the new testament was written in Greek. Once you understand that inference then we can start your help you on this matter. First let's deal with the concept of lying. GOD DOES NOT AND CAN NOT LIE. IF HE LIES IT BECOMES TRUTH. WHEN GOD ASKS A QUESTION HE IS NOT SEEKING ANSWERS BUT RATHER THAT YOU KNOW THE ANSWER YOURSELF. now let's begin In the Hebrew context Death or Dying meant SEPARATION FROM GOD. infact that's why there is a place for the damned called Hell. On the cross Jesus could not die until God forsook him. Lols so Satan the serpent twisted it by telling her that they would not die instantly because the lies of Satan are not 100% but simply incomplete truth. Spiritual death is actually what occurred 1st cos Physical death was not possible until they ate the fruit... And the tree of life was the actual tree that would make them eternal and live forever... So God kept them away from that tree... Eden was in the presence of God and not a physical location... The book of revelation proves that. Now when God came to the garden they heard his voice (sound) and tried to hide... God knew where they were and that's why he asked Adam.. Adam needed to know where he was... We never see a place where it's written that God found Adam. Rather he asked questions even after Adam told he he was hiding... There is no where we can run from his presence. Now we see that when God was talking to Adam he also spoke to eve and the serpent all at the same time.... Would you now say that the serpent was hiding with eve and Adam? "lols... He was everywhere ND he spoke to all who were concerned at once without moving from place to place. And mind you it was his voice they heard. God is not a voice but he has a voice... Jesus is the voice of God... Now let's break it even further... Early in Genesis we read that the Holy Ghost moved over the whole earth... We never see till today where he stopped moving.... Hence the spirit of God is everywhere. And spirit in the Hebrew is called wind. So everywhere there is wind on the earth the spirit is there. God gave us the gift of choice o hence we are free and he won't stop our choice because our choice can only ruin us but not his plans. He wanted man to eat of the tree of Knowledge but not at that time. The concept of temptation is when the devil makes you do today what you should do in future... God planted the garden and said all in it was given for food for man... He only instructed because of time and season... Man was supposed to eat first of the tree of life before knowledge... Then man would be like God... Because God's life didn't come about through knowledge. Once you have the right life then you can control any knowledge. But if you get knowledge prematurely and you want life.. The life will always be colored by the knowledge hence they would have been eternally sinners without hope of salvation just like lucifer. For example our system. In this world has certain age for driving yet before that age many kids have mastered the concept of driving but do not have the life to maintain it... So it's illegal at that age. The same age limit goes for both good and bad things... Sex, drinking, smoking, flying a plane, University, etc hence They are called minors. Not because of Knowledge but because of responsibility. I hope that analogy is clear. Even when you have kids and they do something wrong you still ask then why they did it even tho you already know why... It's communication and love. It's only in Africa we just flog without wanting to hear the child out. Yet God didn't only curse Adam... He cursed the ground.... Cain willfully made a choice to farm on the cursed ground and that's how he also got into trouble. Yet God didn't stop him from tilling the ground... You see God allows our choice. God didn't lie... He can't... Am not defending God.... But let's look at Jesus... He was told Lazarus was sick and he said his sickness wouldn't end in death... Only for four days later Lazarus had died... Probably if I was a disciple I would have left the ministry of Jesus but then I would be the liar cos eventually he woke Lazarus up from the grave and that was the end of the story so ultimately he said the truth that Lazarus sickness wouldn't end in death .... The question you ought to ask is Did Adam and eve eventually die... YES EMPHATICALLY YES THEY DID.... SO GOD DIDN'T LIE. IT WAS JUST NOT AN INSTANT PHYSICAL DEATH. And remember lucifer was cast out of heaven for the very same reason he tempted eve and Adam. He wanted to be like God. Lolssss and finally the Bible says Adam was not deceived to eat the fruit... It was eve that was decieved and till today women are easily decieved. I hope with all I have typed you are no longer decieved to think God can lie... Cos he can't. Bless ya 1 Like |

RadicallyBlunt: Of course I pondered on the questions before, that was what marked my study into sciences like geography and biology, including some physics. I did reach a conclusion that there is no god. And the Bible is written by primitive men. Who didn't understand how the world came about. It was their own philosophy that there had to be a creator. And the Bible is full of so many flaws. I only pointed out a few. |

If you want to study the bible, do that with an open mind, you could also make do with different versions and ask the Holy spirit to help you understand what is written, don't just read because you want to sight a 'flaw' and counter it. |
Re: Help Me Understand The Bible by Nobody: 1:31pm On May 15, 2016 |
mickey226: I was with an open mind, trying to understand the origin of man. I got the available books I could lay my hands on about evolution and so did I get Bible and Quran to study creation. If you say I should not try to notice the flaws, that will be narrow mindedness, I did question evolution too, thanks the internet. I found answers to some of my questions. Same way I questioned evolutionary theory, I questioned the Bible and the Quran. But all I get from creationist is very poor and disappointing. You cannot say I haven't been open minded enough. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Help Me Understand The Bible by mickey226(m): 2:04pm On May 15, 2016 |
Resurgence: Has there been any book that gave detailed explaination about the origin of man? Any without any atom of doubt in it or line which will not bring about debate? The bible was not meant for us to use as a tool with which to prove existence or evolution, everything recorded in it is to tell us who God is, how to know what he wants from us and so on. Hence, the need for us to ask for grace to understand (that is what i meant by openmindedness here not head knowledge ) I'm not saying you shouldn't seek knowledge but sis, people have delved into this before and they all keep beating about d bush, all I want to tell you is when you allow God, he will open your eyes to that which you really need to know and which will be helpful to you |

Re: Help Me Understand The Bible by mickey226(m): 3:27pm On May 15, 2016 |
Resurgence:All u keep saying is 'narrow minded' while u'v already blocked ur mind and concluded within u as can be seen in one of ur comments 'that there is no God'. I see no reason why u should then open the thread in d first place, truth is there are those that believe in him and that is what has been keeping us going, you want me to tell u want u want to hear not what u need to know, anyway keep searching for your answers. Happy searching, but know ye that in all it's 'openmindedness' a limit has been placed on science and that's why your kind will keep seeking answers where there are none. |
