30. Sabbath Rest

Image
Sabbath Rest Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. —Genesis 2:1-2 Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, right? Actually...that's a presupposition. (Sneaky little devils, aren't they?) The Bible never says Adam and Eve lived there. It never says the garden belonged to them. In fact, it says the garden belonged to God and that Adam worked there. You were in Eden, the garden of God... — Ezekiel 28:13a The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it...no tree in the garden of God was its equal in beauty...all the trees of Eden envied it, that were in the garden of God."  —E zekiel 31:8-9. When God "rested" on the Seventh day, he was actually moving in, i.e. setting up residence in Eden, and making it His "dwelling place." [1] Note that the Bible uses dwelling and resting synonymously

30. Eve: Mother of all Living

30. Eve: Mother of all Living Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.  —Genesis 3:20 According to an article in NewScientist (as well as many other researchers in human genetics), scientists can "trace back the DNA in the maternally inherited mitochondria within our cells" to what they call a "theoretical" common ancestor. They call her “mitochondrial Eve.” Naturally, the ASA claim mitochondrial  Eve lived "between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago" and that she was "was not the first human" but that "every other female lineage eventually had no female offspring, failing to pass on their mitochondrial DNA." In other words, EVERY single other woman was a #boymom and they and their descendants all became extinct, because everyone living today, male and female, can be traced back to "mitochondrial Eve." Okay. Sure. And in contrast to the Sumerian and other ancient legends where the gods created

29. Adam: Son of God

29. Adam: Son of God "...Adam, the son of God." —Luke 3:38 In Jesus' genealogy (in Luke 3), Adam is said to be the son of God. This title is also applied to angels — Gen 6:2,4; Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7; and Deut 32:8 (in the Septuagint and Dead Sea version). In the novel, Primoridum , it is this title being given to Adam upon his creation that fuels Lucifer's motivation to revolt against God. Note that in Judaism, the title "son of God" is never a title of deity. However, it is eventually a title that applies not just to Adam but the line of Jewish kings, from whom the Messiah, the  son of God would come. And it is a title given to all New Testaments believers (1 John 3:1-2). Yet in Greek mythology, a son of God was divine, or at lest part divine (usually the offspring of a god with a mortal). In 1 John 3:1-2, Christians are called "sons of God." If you are a Christian, what do you think of having a title that once belonged only to angels? Share you answ
