This, I think, is saving my faith. As a former Jehovah’s witnesses elder, I finally rejected JW based on their theology. But it has pushed me to an agnostic position. But you really help to have an more intellectual and historic based understanding of this questions in my mind. Thanks man

[@casemichielsen2889]

Amen! I used to have a coworker who was JW and had many good apologetic conversations with him. Because of that, I've done a lot of research about the JW religion and I have empathy for them. I too used to be an agnostic until I discovered the more intellectual traditions of Christian Theology! May God continue to guide you and bless you, brother.

[@Baba_Wawa]

I’ll be saying a prayer that the Holy Spirit will teach you all things as we are told in the Word & that your faith is encouraged. I too was raised in a sect that was doctrinally challenged to put it kindly. Just like you I found myself falling away as I learned much of what I’d been taught was wrong or an outright lie. I fell away but always felt a sort of pull back to the Lord. I got deep into research & am eternally grateful to God that He lead me to truth, & blessed me with salvation & assurance of His love & grace! It is my sincere prayer that He do the same for you! My life has truly been a testament to the fact that we may give up on Him, but He does not give up on us! All we have to do is diligently seek Him, knock & He will answer!

Another act of mercy or blessing by God in this chapter is actually removing Adam and Eve from the garden. Because, in the garden they had access to the tree of life, which made them live forever. God did not want humans to live forever in a fallen state, as that would be terrible for the humans.

[@Whisper-md9hs]

Also given how the series shows both the fall of Lucifer & Man occurred simultaneously, it’s possible that the war in Revelation 12 occurred immediately after Adam & Eve ate from the tree. God may have removed Adam & Eve from the Garden at that moment because He knew that war was about to break out among the angels and he wanted to get Adam & Eve to safety

[@janepatton8100]

His videos are very good!!! I have truly been blessed by them. However, no one is inerrant. With that being said, I want to offer a different perspective. He points out the difference between conception and birth, which is fine, but then gives commentary stating that the verse is referring to anxiety fueled by uncertainty in the *Future* conditions and needs of her children. I just don't see this being reality. Normally the only time someone has anxiety at conception, is if they didn't want to get pregnant. But that is certainly not what the scriptures are talkin about. Furthermore, grief or *anxiety in conception* is not the same as *anxiety about your child's future.* The argument could then be made that if that is the band-width of conception anxiety, then that would also include the pains of childbirth. This is why I believe the traditional translation of this passage is more accurate. Pain, sickness, anxiety, grief, and death were not God's original plan. But we know that childbirth brings with it extreme grief in the form of pain and anxiety. When it comes to a woman's desire being for a husband, and him ruling over her, I think this is pointing to a physical out working of a spiritual truth, sort of like homosexuality in Romans 1 is a physical out working of a spiritual truth... Namely, that the parable of man's rebellion towards God's headship and authority will be lived out through the marriage covenant in the form of the woman resenting his authority, and wanting to take the lead or be him altogether... today's popular culture is a perfect example of this. This will cause tension that will result in the man asserting and subsequently abusing his authority over her. Thus, the marriage covenant, along with every other aspect of creation, has been cursed by the Fall. Just another perspective to consider. Be blessed!!!

This was the 1st time I ever heard this channel , for some reason 3B the fall popped into my playlist as I dozed off on Roku one night. Blew me away. This whole Genesis series is awesome, well researched and presented. I just saw a preview for The Nephilim, whoa! I will look at many of your videos in depth. On Job right now as well. I was floundering in life, being hyper critical and over scientific and struggling to balance deaths and visions of close family members on their deathbeds with a few instances I have of people in cath labs who say they were sent back and spoke to God. I have been coming back to thinking that maybe earth isn't a prison planet. (My mom died of breast cancer after a long life of suffering and of being practically a saint and a spark of light in the world, she didn't have a good view of God in the end, she earned that way of thinking personally, through pain and suffering) and Lets just say your research is a bright light when I have needed it most.

The lessons of Genesis are many and profound.The serpent didn’t lie to Eve, but by withholding the full consequence of their actions he took advantage of their ignorance, pride, and innocence.I think we see that Eve had a childlike understanding of morality by her immediate resistance to take the fruit. I think the “Knowledge” they obtained was by their disobedience they began to understand the consequences of evil immediately resulting in their shame and loss of innocence. Where I think I differ from your interpretation is that I think that they should have died the day they ate from the tree.I think we see a foreshadowing of the Gospel when God sacrifices the innocent animal in the garden, which not only provided coverings for them, but for their sin and allowed for them to escape death that day.To be fair, you haven’t got to that verse yet.I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks and God bless you.

Post-it thanks for clarifying your position although I think we have a different view. Please let me try to clarify my view; Sin and true are both archery terms and in some sense opposites. If the arrow runs true it runs perfectly straight and hits the target. Sin is when it misses and therefore runs bent or off-target. I think that bending the truth is not possible. There is only truth or sin. I also think there is ample evidence that this is the worldview employed in biblical times. Thanks for your thoughts.

Why anyone today puts stock in Jewish anything I don't know as they don't even believe in Jesus, but this channel loves doing that. The last thing is to stick to the black parts of the Bible instead of interjecting ur own limited and bias thoughts into the white.

Bible Bus people put stock in the Jewish writings because THE WHOLE BIBLE IS A JEWISH WRITING. Christianity is a Jewish religion. You were only grafted in by grace.

I thought Eve being named" mother of all living" was Adams outward act of faith in God's promise that the snake crusher would be born from her?

[@austintucker394]

@Valpurgis Tachyon not according to the Bible.

[@hectordanielsanchezcobo1773]

@Valpurgis Tachyon nope, Adam names his wife Eve after they are cursed after the fall. The First Book of Moses, Called Genesis 3:20: "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." The fall happened in Genesis 3:6-7

[@hectordanielsanchezcobo1773]

@Valpurgis Tachyon oh well he indeed named her "woman" but she did not have the name "Eve" until after the fall, this is what I'm arguing here

[@hectordanielsanchezcobo1773]

@Valpurgis Tachyon if you re-read OP's comment you'll see he is talking about the name "Eve" (meaning mother of all living) which indeed was given after the fall

[@drooskie9525]

Pretty good, and mostly agree with this. Though, I think you may have been ragging on Adam and Eve too hard, as if they had malicious intent. The Serpent made them question the integrity of God (which produces doubt) and made them feel like they lacked something needed for Life (to which you can argue, they did), but the Serpent made them eat from the Tree of Knowledge and do it from a point of self-effort (thinking they have to save themselves) to attain life and satisfy the lack that the Serpent made them feel they had. Concupiscence manifested in them (We all want to live, of course) and they ate. Unfortunately, they gained the wisdom, but now they interpret that wisdom as them needing to clothe themselves by their own effort. A never ending cycle of trying to satisfy your own lack when only God can do that. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was intended to show them to the Tree of Life so that they may live forever. Satan deceived them, and caused all of this.

great insight! thank you for sharing 👍

[@drooskie9525]

@@conk3rryan422 Appreciate it. People need to see that our Sin wasn't a problem to God, he wasn't gonna let that stop his love for us and stop his plan for humanity. Sin needs to be seen as a intruder, rather than what we falsely think is some inherent identity of ours. Being a Sinner just means someone who does not partake in the divine nature. Humans need to be viewed from the point of God's love and will for us, not defined by Sin. Satan is judged and condemned so harshly for a reason.

[@bryanalvarado9755]

Andrew Kibler “what we falsely see as an inherent identity of ours” in reference to sin. Doesn’t Jeremiah say “the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it?”. Doesn’t James say we sin when “we are drawn away of our OWN lust.”? It is an inherent identity to the natural man, so in other words, it is an inherent part of us. Man is not fundamentally good, nor is he fundamentally evil. We are sinful by nature, but divine by spirit. Caught between the two.

[@drooskie9525]

@@bryanalvarado9755 Sin is a belief, it is not a inherent part of our make up. Otherwise, you have to say God created us Sinful. Man is fundamentally good according to what God intended. It's important to not mix up with what you see in your flesh with who you are as a human being.

[@bryanalvarado9755]

Andrew Kibler I appreciate your response! This is not to say God created us sinful. Rather, he created us with a choice. Do we follow the “natural” part of man which Paul talks heavily about. Or do we follow the “spiritual” part of man. He who walks by faith. Sin is an inherent part of man but he doesn’t have to be defined by that. The “renewing of your minds” and “the putting off of the old man”, if we start with the assumption that evil is external from man, then there is no need for any renewing.

[@oncewereheathens9364]

They were never going to be allowed to eat from the tree after a period of time, the wording is “knowledge of good and evil,” it’s an intimacy statement, not a statement of intellectual expansion, though that would be a kind of byproduct. If that was the case, the wording would have been “good [from] evil,” which would indicate a mere intellectual development. This is where many go wrong when they claim that God was withholding “knowledge” from Adam and Eve, so as to keep them in a childish state, which is obviously false. Additionally the verses you quoted from Isaiah, 2 Samuel, and 1 Kings speak of “discerning right from wrong,” which is not the same as having “knowledge of good and evil.” Right back to the difference between the words “and” or “from. One speaks of seeing the difference and the other experiencing. Adam and Eve had two options before them, either 1) know only good, or 2) defy God and know evil also, obviously bringing about the need for a saviour, which was always part of God’s plan to express the fullness of character and Glory, hence why he immediately clothed them. All a foreshadowing of things to come in Christ. But you’re absolutely right, the tree was not evil, God said everything he created was good, and that included the tree in question. It’s like you said, many things/actions are good and not sinful, but they can be done in a sinful way. Appreciate your videos, don’t agree with everything, but definitely respect your efforts. The rest of the video is great. Something that does stand out that I forgot to add is that the tree was literally a stumbling block, which is exactly why the new heaven and new earth are said to have every stumbling block removed. There will be no cause for stumbling.

I don't follow your train of thought in your first paragraph so I am not grasping what you're trying to say. This is not a criticism for the sake of it, but I don't think they way you've written it is as clear as it could be. You seem to think your conclusion is justified by your reasoning, so am very interested to try and understand: would you care to try restating it again for me? Assigning intimacy for one and intellectual ascension to the other is not clear to me, similarly for 'seeing' for one and 'experiencing' for the other. Both involve some form of 'knowing,' but just different ways. Separately (although kind of related), re: second para and options 1 and 2, would I be correct in assuming that in both these two options you'd agree that A&E would 'know' evil in both, but in different ways? i.e. in 1) they would have to 'know' good at the very least of being able to conceive in their minds (imagine) transgressing God's commandment without actually doing it (i.e. knowing evil in the sense of 'seeing' (imagining) evil) while in 2) it would be 'knowing' in the sense of not only directly engaging in evil themselves but also directly experiencing the consequences of that evil? I ask because to my mind I think surely in order for 1) to work, A&E must have at least been able to conceptually mentally and intellectual ascend (think of and imagine) the _idea_ of evil (transgressing God's commandment)? I say this because without the ability to do this, the charge that always comes in free will discussion would hold re: just being puppets/robots without moral autonomy and not actually having any freedom to choose anything other than good, which would make life effectively meaningless/pointless. In fact, by virtue of having the option to engage in sin, I think it would be sound to conclude that it is definitely the case that in both 1) and 2) there remains the necessary freedom to 'know' evil by being able to mentally conceptualise it (imagine it, think about the consequences of choosing to do a particular thing). So when you give option 1) as 'only know good,' I want to understand what you mean by this. Apologies if this doesn't make sense and is rambling, I am very tired.

[@janepatton8100]

I've watched a few of your videos to include Genesis 3a, which were truly insightful. However, I believe you are way off as it pertains to Genesis 3:16. You point out the difference between conception and birth, which is fine, but then, you give commentary stating that the verse is referring to anxiety fueled by uncertainty in the *Future* conditions and needs of her children. I just don't see this being reality. Normally the only time someone has anxiety at conception, is if they didn't want to get pregnant. But that is certainly not what the scriptures are talkin about. Furthermore, grief or *anxiety in conception* is not the same as *anxiety about your child's future.* The argument could then be made that if that is the band width of conception anxiety, then that would include the pains of childbirth as well. This is why I believe the traditional translation of this passage is more accurate. Pain, sickness, anxiety, grief, and death were not God's original plan. But we know that child birth brings with it extreme grief in the form of pain and anxiety. When it comes to a woman's desire being for a husband, and him ruling over her, I think this is pointing to a physical out working of a spiritual truth, sort of like homosexuality in Romans 1... Namely, that the parable of man's rebellion towards God's headship and authority will be lived out through the marriage covenant. This will cause tension that will result in the man asserting and subsequently abusing his authority over her.

[@P.H.888]

Lord Jesus bless her marriage 🙏🏻 take away all the curses you Took Away ‼️

[@droe2570]

"I just don't see this being reality. " Why not? Exiled from the garden, with food and livelihood being uncertain, why would she not have anxiety for her children and grandchildren? To say otherwise makes no sense whatsoever. "Normally the only time someone has anxiety at conception, is if they didn't want to get pregnant." In the ancient world, the opposite was feared, that a wife would NOT get pregnant. You can't compare today's casual sex environment with the ancient world. "This will cause tension that will result in the man asserting and subsequently abusing his authority over her." This sounds like a feminist reading of the text, rather than a scholarly reading of it.
