Wasnt The Garden Created Before Adam Was Created

> Q: Doesn’t Genesis 2:8 simply say that God had already planted a garden and then put man into it after he was formed. Don’t the following verses then go on to describe what the garden was composed of, not a sequential account of the garden being formed after the man

Genesis 2:19 Genesis 2:8 Ruth 90 Genesis & Creation

@elderthorkell @schism How do you know that the “testified to by other mean” is true or not? As I said, I got an answer and it was that the BOM is false. I was meeting regularly with the missionaries

@imaginaryheat @smashbaals Well if you want specific discussion on authority of one spouse over the other, Paul’s discussion in 1Cor 7 is mutually equal in every way.

@MarinaRohr2012 @ExtraSaltedNuts @FoxWayward @rightresponsem Right…but justice is that Jesus took our shame and guilt on himself. So if someone comes to Christ, I don’t think that forgiveness and mercy is immediately followed by execution. Now you ma...

@bugpops @iamkimianora @yhbryankimiq Yes, you did misinterpret it to fit your narrative. Because Paul never left Timothy in Ephesus to stop anyone from teaching truth. Just because you found someone teaching error, doesn't mean you should take a tex...

@DoctrineTruth @CherylSchatz @JoeyRogersMBC Thanks for the question. I don’t believe it’s necessary to produce a list of qualified women pastors any more than it is to produce a list of qualified men to affirm what scripture teaches. I think that th...

@tom_huguenard @aigkenham Historical knowledge? Are you assuming they have some kind of authority that transcends the Biblical accounts? Do these historians recognize the existence of a global flood which in itself changes how long it would take to ...

@iroquoisplskn87 That’s a false dichotomy. Egalitarianism is not the absence of order but the presence of mutual submission (Eph 5:21), shared responsibility, and co-laboring without rank-based domination. Anarchy rejects all structure; egalitarian...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay I never left the LDS church. I have had LDS missionaries come to my house for a few years and I knew two local bishops who lived in my area. Nice people. I was never LDS. I'm sure you can check in your book...

@MissionaryJC3 @NateSchlomann Interesting. I wonder what else Paul could get away with which he doesn’t have to abide by but everyone else does. Also curious that he encourages everyone else to be single like he is (1Co 7:8). If everyone listened, n...

@MissionaryJC3 @NateSchlomann I see. In that case, is Paul qualified to be an el

@MissionaryJC3 @NateSchlomann Where are you getting that from? Pastors (poimen)?

@JonByers186054 @_Nosoup4you__ You don't refute an argument by just listing scriptures but by explaining scripture and showing how it is consistent with the context and other scripture. I haven't yet brought in 'extra biblical narratives' but have st...

@JonByers186054 Eisegesis is inserting ideas foreign to the context into a text. How am I doing this? Which foreign ideas or concepts am I inserting? What narratives are made up? Paul connects a woman and a man with Adam and Eve, the time order of cr...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi 1. Your statement doesn't even make sense unless you are saying that you are ignorant of my grammar and semantics. Who cares⎯it's Paul's grammar and semantics anyways. 2. Yes, the nearest anarthrous noun fo...

@covapologetics @MissionaryJC3 If 1Co 7:2 means that all should be married, then why wasn’t Paul married and why did he desire that they be like him, single? It would seem that if you are fornicating it would be better to marry than sin—this is the p...

@covapologetics @MissionaryJC3 So you think that 1Co 14:35 instructs women to marry so that they can get their questions answered? So no other woman can answer their questions? Of course, Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote (1Co 7...

@covapologetics @MissionaryJC3 Because you missed Paul’s purpose Im the letter which was for Timothy to “instruct *certain people* not to teach strange doctrines” (1Ti 1:3). Here you have a certain person, ‘the woman’ (1Ti 2:14), whom Paul wants to s...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi Except if Paul wanted to refer to a specific woman from Ephesus Im vv11-12 how else might he do it? In making a contrast between the plural to the singular, Paul is moving from general to narrow which the de...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi The first use of woman is *NOT* definite. Where are you getting that from? Paul is first referring to women plural and then shifts to the singular in v11-12 which is the first singular anarthrous reference. ...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody Head is not being used in the sense of “the righteous boss over someone.” You are importing your modern notions of this term and how we use it into the text. Jesus is God but there is no notion of the husband being the “r...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody No, it’s not meant to convey both senses at the same time. Does Jesus as God have all authority? Absolutely! But scripture doesn’t ever describe the man Jesus as ever taking authority over His bride. He does remove “lamp...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody You assume ‘head’ means authority or boss, but in Scripture, it often means ‘source.’ Christ is the source of His body’s life. The husband is head of his wife as marriage reflects Adam and Eve in Eden and Adam’s flesh an...

@BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma I sat down with Mormon missionaries and bishops for many meetings. I have the LDS app with all the writings so I can look things up. But as I recall, the missionaries came to say I’m wrong. It’s just that they believe everyo...
