Bible Discussion Thread

I find it very intriguing when people ignore the obvious, and yet, they can develop a whole theory based on assumptions! The obvious: Man was “formed of the dust of the ground”, and after God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life”, he “became a living soul” ( Genesis 2:7). He was not created “an immortal spirit” as there is no Bible support for that: but rather made of flesh, blood and bones. When Adam met Eve for the first time, he did not exclaim, “This is spirit of my spirit” but: “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man ( Genesis 2:23). And, with all their sanctity, beauty and perfection, our first parents were given the First Commandment, under the penalty of death: “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” ( Genesis 2:16, 17). Their very existence depended on their obedience to God. It’s a pity that Eve believed “the serpent” instead of God! But I guess we are no different today… God says: “THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, (at creation) and not man for the Sabbath” ( Mark 2:27). And, “I rested on the seventh day from all My work which I had made. And I blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it” ( Genesis 2:2, 3). But man says: “It don’t matter to me, the Sabbath was made for the Jews only”.
