My favorite Quote: “The modern rejection of a historical Adam isn’t primarily driven by science; it’s driven by a philosophy—naturalism. This worldview sees the universe as a closed system and humanity as an accident of evolution. In this story, we aren’t fallen; we’re just unfinished. Sin isn’t rebellion; it’s a developmental glitch.”
The stuff that is taught in the institutes of “higher learning” today is simply “baal worship” all over again, dressed up to look pretty in modern guise.
Baal was “the god of natural forces”. In the same way today’s scientists have to “stimulate” nature to get the desired response, so too did the ancient baal worshipers “stimulate” their “god of forces” to achieve “control”. In other words, the problems today are just “developmental glitches” that “baal” can fix if we stimulate him enough.
There truly is nothing new under the sun. As Jonathan Cahn has written superbly in his book “the Return of the gods”, these “forces” always come back when they find “the house unoccupied……”
This is where you lost me. “the sudden appearance of art, ritual, and morality around 50,000 years ago. “ ? ? I hope I just misunderstood you. If not your whole argument that a historical Adam lived exactly as described in Genesis has no relevance. The time line put forward in the Bible cannot be stretched to 50,000 years.
I am so glad that you clarified that for me. I have not been on SubStack very long. I really have enjoyed many of your posts. I am also sorry if I came off being rude.
Powerful reminder that our faith isn’t rooted in metaphor; it is grounded in the reality of God’s redemptive work through history, a truth that still transforms hearts today.
Wonderfully laid out, solid explanation of man’s first failures and his ability to regain his place through following Christ. “Natural”? man must first recognize that everything in Nature itself is God created. Gods cathedral is awesome and unmatched by any mankind has created or any Babel attempted. Gods love is eternal, the choice to return that love of the Fathers is ours and ours alone.That responsibility is individually owned and can’t be purchased with acts of charity or self proclaimed and self promoted righteousness but only through true faith and belief in Christ. Abstinence from Sin! That means all rebellious acts directed against Gods laws and covenants must be removed from one’s lifestyle. Or we as Christians fail the Creator again. The law will be fulfilled.
Mathew 5
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Good stuff!

Amen Brother
Interesting, insightful and full of scripture, my favorite type of reading!!!

That was not my beliefs, but what science believes.

Not at all. No worries Brother
Amen to that Robert!
He's supposed to be wearing an animal skin.
