@@abanopaj Thanks for the great question! When we say that Adam sinned on the sixth day, we’re referencing a theological understanding that his fall occurred after his creation. The “days” in Genesis are understood, not as literal 24-hour periods, but rather as stages of God’s creation. The key idea here is that Adam’s sin occurred before the seventh day, which represents God’s completed work. Again the seventh “day” in this context refers to the ongoing invitation for humanity to be in communion with God which is offered in salvation through Christ.

Do angels have free will?

@@zewdufetle2814 Thank you for the great question! While angels do have intellect, free will, and eternal life, the Orthodox understanding of humans being “in the image of God” is much deeper. Humans were given the unique role of being stewards over creation, and Christ took on human nature through the Incarnation. This gives humans the potential for union with God (Theosis), which is unique to us. So while angels share some attributes, the image of God in humanity is far more profound.

Praying for you 🙏🏿

Can there be growth or free will without choice?

@@Cohobbes yes.

@@Belisarius536that’s logically incoherent

@@mbzk I’m logically incoherent? But god made his own creations, gave them handicaps to punish or reward them for it later, while he already knew what those actions would be because he’s omnipotent. 😂 He can do whatever he wanted. He could have make humans perfect with no faults. No questions of faith, free will, no need to grow, nothing. The whole idea of giving his creations freewill to see what they do, when he already knows what they’ll do, within his own plans and punish them for the choices the make with that freewill, which isn’t really their choices or freewill because it’s in his design and is preordained because he can see the future, past and present, is just just moronic and setting up his creations up to fail. He’s just given them the illusion of freewill. He already knows who is going to do what, it’s already set up and ordained if he’s truly omnipotent and controls everything. Unless of course, he is not omnipotent. It would be like me creating an advanced robot with advanced Ai and saying to it, you have your own choice and freewill, to see what he does, but i already know what he’ll do because I wrote the programme for what he will do, and then punishing him for being defective and destroying him, only for function within the parameters of the programme I had written for him. I’ve just given him the illusion of free will. And, at any moment, I, like god, could intervene and completely alter the path affecting the direction of this free will and give instructions And change the course of anything in any direction. What is the sense than that other than torture and torment? But alas, that’s why I said yes because god can do what he wants. He can programme it in such a way where anything is possible.

​​@@Belisarius536 Do you believe that God exists? If so, what handicaps did he give us?

Coptic would've been the primary language.

Sorry but you're wrong. In the hebrew language you have to watch, and understand who the verb refers to. This is one of the main grammatical rules for understanding the meaning of a phrase. So, when the bible (like here in genesis) refers or talk about God, the subject (noun) is plural, but the verb is singular! In fact the verb is singular because it refers to a singular subject, to which however a pluralis maiestatis (majestic plural) is applied, because God is one in three persons. So you are wrong, there is one God, the hebrew grammar confirms that.

@@giorgiocopelli3532 thanks for your input you are entitled to your opinion but I'm far from being wrong. I have Been studying for a long long time since 2010 to be exact this is a huge mystery which churches,historians, biblists and other language connected experts have been getting wrong for a long time... same with this....there is a clear distinction between the singular and the plural...maybe grab your self a Hebrew dictionary for confirmation it will also help to learn how to speak Arabic or Aramaic as well as Hebrew it helps....in Gensis 1.1 clearly says in Hebrew "in the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth" so it should have translated to in the beginning Gods created the heavens and the earth ( in other words the physical and spiritual world) it then goes on to say in Genesis 1:26 then Elohim said let "us" make man in "our" image and in "our" likeness more proving my point....since Christianity is currently considered a monotheistic religion rather then polytheistic it's hard to wrap your head around. I bet and I'm not trying to be rude here. You're the type of person who believes Christmas and Easter and cross reverence or communion is biblical when it's not you probably believe the 7th day of rest is Sunday when it's actually Saturday.... I do have KZbin videos that I have posted where I explain about a few including the trinity please check it out if you like have a lovely and blessed day

Wow! Not just that you have a poor grammar understanding of the Hebrew language, but you even have a very poor understanding of The Word of God! The image of God refers to something completely else. A lot of times the Bible is very symbolic. Like for example "knit me together in my mothers womb" when David says that, that doesn't mean that God is literally knitting us 🧶 with the wool and needle and making us larger, but it obviously does mean that He somehow is forming us with His power. In Jeremiah God tells him he formed him. He didn't form only Jeremiah He formed all of us. All of us for a different purpose.

@@answers_for_all4379 I wasn't really gonna reply because it's obvious that we don't see eye to eye and hey you win some you loose some not all people will be for what I say.I have been doing bible study for 19 years...I am very familiar with the Bible I know it like the back of my hand which I give all thanks be to God for. Yes I do understand your point the Bible does speak in parables but not in that verse. I have heard also every interpretation there is "it's the trinity, God was talking to Jesus the us here refers to the angels" bla bla bla..... which I once accepted but I dont now Becuase it needs to match with other scriptures.....but that being said that was not the point I was trying to make. It is written in the book of Romans that God's invisible qualities eternal power and 'divine nature' its self has been 'clearly seen' being understood from 'what has been made' so men are without excuse. If you look at what God has created all the birds the fish the animals that run around on the ground they have one thing in comment even plants they are all male and female and only male and female together can give life, God created the world this way to teach us about spiritual world (the world in which we can't see) it's the same spiritually that's why Moses had to build the Tabernacles according to the pattern shown to him on the mountain. He couldn't build according to his own idea but as above so below. Why do you think Jesus wanted to give us his flesh and his blood? Hmm his DNA why?Dogs live 15 years according to their parents DNA, turtles 150 according to their parents DNA, only God has eternal life and gave us eternal life through his DNA.... but anyways to each there own you know you understand things your way I will understand things mine

Thanks for your comment. There's no where in the Bible to support this interpretation. The Bible and the church teaches us about the Holy Trinity and that God is Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). God is complete and in Him are all the attributes of male and female. At no point the Bible teaches us or shows us about 2 different Gods.

The Septuagint translation of the Tanakh into Greek was compiled in the 3rd Century BCE and most rabbi's and commentaries were done against this translation up until the Masoretic (Hebrew) codification in the 9th Century CE. For all this time they were using the greek. After the 9th Century AD or CE even the Aramaic targums (translation) were also favoured. So my dear the Septuagint is what our early church fathers taught from and early believers were Jews.

@@Cohobbes You mustn't have read the Tanach in Hebrew yet?

@@Tonibolognaaintnophony that's not the point he is making.

​@Cohobbes The us is the ministering angel's with God, not Jesus. That's how I the know the Hebrew scriptures weren't used when creating the English Bible. The idea of the Trinity was not given to Moses, Noah, David, Jeremiah, ect. That is a church thing. If there's a beginning to it, it's not from a Jewish person, ever.

@@Tonibolognaaintnophony Gen 1:26 Then God Said, "Let *Us* make man in *Our*, according to *Our* likeness" and in verse 27 "so God created man in *His* *Own* image; " singular. Even the name of God Elohim here is plural. Philo of Alexandria (Hellenistic Jewish Philosopher) In his works, Philo of Alexandria explored Genesis 1:26 from a philosophical perspective and emphasized the idea of divine attributes being involved in creation. Philo interpreted the "us" as God addressing His own powers or aspects of His being, particularly His Word (Logos). The Zohar (Jewish Mystical Text) The Zohar, a foundational work of Jewish Kabbalistic thought, written much later (in the Middle Ages, attributed to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai), reads Genesis 1:26 with mystical insight, seeing the "Us" as referring to different divine aspects or sefirot within God’s unified being. The Zohar reflects the idea that God’s nature has multiple emanations or expressions, though He remains absolutely one. In this interpretation, the plural reflects the multiplicity of divine attributes or qualities that are unified in the divine essence.

Not just simple anger, but righteous anger. The anger humans display is sinful and unrighteous. Yes, scripture says “slow to anger”, and we know Jesus grew angry, but never in a sinful way, as He never sinned. Control yourself and become angry at sin and unjust things; for this is what God becomes angry about. God bless you, sister.

Which ones?

Can we have the names please sir
