Being Born Again in the Image and Likeness of God.

[mutzrein]

Ah – well I thank you for your patience.

Actually, I haven’t been taught much in the terms that you have been speaking. While I have had a religious upbringing of sorts, neither the premise that you have proffered in this thread, nor the one I stand on were ‘taught’ to me. In fact my premise differs markedly to what is generally taught in Christendom – as yours does - but as you have gathered, they (yours and mine) also differ markedly from each other.

May I ask what let you to adopt or accept the premise on which you stand?

Regards

The speculation and implication that Adam died Spiritually after the “original sin†would mean, the Invisible God Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, were in ERROR in creating Adam Spiritually to begin with but only to be pluck away from their hands by the old serpent. Such is not the case however.

hiya 4pillars,

so you see, that's the problem. if adam and eve had been chinese, the "original sin" had never entered to humanity!

adam and eve had eaten the snake instead of the apple!

Dear mutzrein:

Most Christians do Not agree with me, but they see that I support my views with Scripture. Most have Never been taught what I post. In time, they accept me, but cling to the ideas they have been taught.

What would you do, if you read the story for what it actually says, and discover that the story is different from what tradition teaches?

I post to try to get others to read it for themselves, and compare it with what they have been told.


God Bless

Dear Readers:

The Scripture is very clear in documenting us the book of generations of Adam, IN THE DAY (very specific time of event) they were created in the image and likeness of God. Genesis 5:1-3

This specific time of event took place only AFTER both A&E have already committed their "original sin"; Cain had already Killed Abel and only after MAN BEGAN CALLING THE NAME OF THE LORD. (Genesis 4:26).

The next generation in Adam's image was Seth not Cain, as recorded in the Scripture.

Look and read closely...

Genesis 5
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. IN THE DAY (very specific time of event) that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

The context of the text is also consistent as outlined and summarized in Genesis chapter 1.

Therefore, NOT everybody is created in the image and likeness of God upon natural birth - unless you are born again spiritually in Christ.



God Bless
