Re: Some help from Admin please
Hi BobAliceEve
- did Adam and Eve evolve or were they created
Considering the topic of this thread, let's not even ask.
- when God took them into the garden were they a basic family
God did not bring them into the garden, he created them there.
- if created, were they subject to physical death
that depends on your interpretation
- was the tree of life not mentioned as a concern along with the tree of knowledge of good and evil because it was not a concern because they were already immortal
Depending on how you look at it, the tree of life may have been a way to get spiritually closer to God, a constant drug that Adam and Eve had to take to stay alive, or merely there for contrast. It's up to the reader. (Of course, there may be other possibilities.)
- is the tree of life the antidote to either the physical or spiritual death
See above.
- if they were a basic family and not subject to death would they live forever as a family
Obviously not- the whole apple/Cain and Abel fiascos. (Or where you asking in the case of staying in the garden?)
- is the Messiah's mission to restore to it's original state what God created or to change things
See Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and pretty much the whole NT, (Don't forget Revelation!!)
- when Isaiah says that the lion will eat hay like the ox will that be a restoration of what was before the fall or will that be a change
It seems to point to a futuristic utopia for God's people.
And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.
- is this knowledge valuable to a discussion regarding how the age of the earth is thought of
It has nothing to do with it whatsoever!!!! :-)
Edited by Teapots&unicorns, : No reason given.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
- Stephen Roberts
I'm a polyatheist - there are many gods I don't believe in

"In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has widely been considered as a bad move."
