How do you know that God created the world?

My Answer:

I grew up in a Christian home, read the Bible, went to church... As a child I guess I just believed my parents were right and that this must be the only way. Growing up I met doubts like why only Christianity is the truth, and not feeling close to God. They deterred me for a bit but I came to the conclusion that there is something more (so much more) behind that name... Jesus. Can`t you feel it? Its crazy but if you ask Him, He'll show you. I don't feel God all the time - sometimes I feel so far away from Him - but at the end of the day Jesus is the only hope I have. Because I want Him so bad, it just proves He's there. You can't crave purpose, hope, love and Jesus if its non existent just like you couldn't crave chocolate if it never was created. Keep your chin up and seek Him. I won't promise a big BANG or what Saul experienced on the way to Damascus, but I know He's real. He has to be. He is our only hope and I mean that with every fibre of my innermost being.

I was not a believer before, but I am now. I've searched for the answer on my own you'll know Jesus is real at your most trying moment, have time to pray and talk to him you don't have to explain yourself to Jesus because he knows you from within you'll feel his presence especially with those blessed people who attach with him he might not answer your prayer today, but he'll sure will at the right time.

ANSWER

well how do you know anything is real, because there is proof, although the definition of proof is debatable anything without proof is just belief and faith.

i personally don't see how a 2000 year old book, written by humans, translated to English from several different languages

talking about something there is no proof of can prove the existence of anyone or anything in it,

unless its got photos!

read all the prophesies that have come true! how could you believe that the Bible is NOT real!

i believe that Jesus died for my sins, how about you. do you think that Jesus died and rose again without purpose?

ANSWERno one knows that Jesus is real.

they weren't there 2009 years ago when Jesus was supposed to be born to tell us all that.

even if they were they wouldn't be alive they would have died by now. plus no one knows that the bible is true they might believe that it is but they don't know for sure.

ANSWER

I just don't think that someone would be soooo bored until he decides he would make a religion with a bible so thick.How do I know Jesus is imaginary or real? Well, not everything has to be explained and you have to just believe and there is something called faith. For example you can't feel, see or taste those teeny tiny germs in the air,but how do you know it is there? Because it is scientifically proven? And how do you know if they proved right? Look, I can't control your religion but I choose to have faith and believe. I don't need pictures to prove and by the way cameras were probably not invented that time. So how do you expect them to take pictures?

ANSWER

Jesus Christ is as real as you want HIM to be. It's all about FAITH. God's Living Word states, "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1. God's whole Word is based on Faith. I choose to have faith that God is the Alpha, Omega, Beginning and the End. I, also choose to believe that His Son Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and that He died on the cross for my sins so that I can live for eternity in heaven with Him. You have Faith, which is not believing that He is real. I can't prove to you that He is real and You can't prove that He isn't. I've lived the sinners life and am living the Christian life now. Why have faith in something that doesn't have a happy ending or why have faith in something that doesn't fill that emptiness inside of you or that hole in your heart/soul. No matter what you try to fill it it never happens. Maybe at the time, but it doesn't last. I choose to have Faith in my God, because it fills that space and makes me feel great. I will feel that joy and peace for always. The best part is that it's FREE!!! Here's a saying I once heard, "Don't knock it til you try it".

What is the mood in the creation of Adam?

In the beginning GOD had a felling that he should create humans in his image to worship him

Why is there no proof of the garden of Eden?

AnswerThere is no proof of the existence of Adam and Eve because they never really lived. The story of Adam and Eve can conveniently be thought of as an allegory.

Not only is there no physical evidence for Adam and Eve or the Garden of Eden, the geological and fossil record demonstrates that man really evolved over two hundred thousand years ago, long before the time attributed in the Bible to the first humans.

Yes, they were the only family on earth, so they had no choice. We can't do it now though, because our genome has so badly degenerated since the original creation, that it would cause some serious defects in the children.

Who died first Adam or Eve?

Abdullah Ibn Al Iman Ahmad Ibn Hanbal narrated that Ubai Ibn Kab said: "When Adam's death was near, he said to his children: "O my children, indeed I feel an appetite for the fruits of Paradise." So they went away searching for what Adam had requested. They met with the angels, who had with them his shroud and what he was to be embalmed with. They said to them: "O Children of Adam, what are you searching for? What do you want? Where are you going?" They said: "Our father is sick and has an appetite for the fruits of Paradise." the angels said to them: "Go back, for your father is going to meet his end soon." So they returned (with the angels) and when Eve saw them she recognized them. She tried to hide herself behind Adam. He said to her. "Leave me alone. I came before you; do not go between me and the angels of my Lord.' So they took his soul, embalmed and wrapped him, dug the grave and laid him in it. They prayed on him and put him in his grave, saying: 'O Children of Adam, this is your tradition at the time of death."" Before his death Adam reassured his children that Allah would not leave man alone on the earth, but would sent His prophets to guide them. the prophets would have different names, traits and miracles, but they would be united in one thing; the call to worship Allah alone. This was Adam's bequest to his children. Adam finished speaking and closed his eyes. Then the angels entered his room and surrounded him. When he recognized the Angel of Death among them, his heart smiled peacefully.

What does the bible say about obesity?

Philippians 3:19 ESV / 41 helpful votesTheir end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Did Eve sin because she ate the apple from the tree of knowledge?

it's honestly quite annoying how people place the blame all on eve.

rather it was the devil who is and always had been against the people who influenced adam to eat from the tree in order for god to be angry with him.

(the devil hated people from the start as he is evil himself so it's of no surprise for why he would want adam to eat the fruit)

just as a person does bad, haves bad thought e.t.c. similarly adam had these thoughts from the devil and so eventually he ate the fruit.

Why did god reject Cain's sacrifice?

Because God wanted blood. Cain offered only crops, whereas Abel killed one of his sheep and burned it as an offering.

Answer 2Biblical scholars often say that God refused Cain's offering because of his sins.

Just like we read later in this story.

Genesis 4:3-6

"At the designated time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground for an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock - even the fattest of them. And the Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but with Cain and his offering he was not pleased. So Cain became very angry, and his expression was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast? Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it."

Also, lets emphasize that God is speaking with Cain. He gives him another chance, shows him what is wrong in his behavior. God doesn't speak with Abel, which means that He makes a first step towards siners. Cain could listen to God and give good offering another time but he has chosen otherwise.

Where did Adam and eve meet and for how long were they separated?

According to Abrahamic religious teaching, the Garden of Eden; the exact location of the Garden has never been agreed upon.

The purpose of human beings according to creation?

First Answer:

The Bible book Ephesians explains man's purpose in this universe.

The purpose of mankind is to be beyond extinction to insure that tomorrow exists. Without tomorrow, there is no other purpose. The way is, environmental restoration, to preserve the earth;and space exploration the search for new resource.

Exactly! Agrees with the one above. Religion have nothing to do with the purpose of mankind since there's been several through the thousands of years humans have walked this planet. They come and go.

Additonal Comment:

To be God's friend. Unfortunately some people don't come to Christ because they think He is a person standing over them shaking his finger, but that is the LAST thing (if He would EVER do that) He would do. God loves us and wants us to be his friend.

Believing the Bible gives every answer necessary for the salvation of who-ever believes in how God has made provision. I accept what the Bible teaches about the purpose of humanity before man fell into sin.

Biblical Answer:

The world refuses to believe the Bible's stated purpose of mankind... but here it is again:

"The (Holy) Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD: and if children, then HEIRS; HEIRS OF GOD, AND JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST..." (Rom.8:16-17)

.

"...I will receive you. And will BE A FATHER UNTO YOU, and YE SHALL BE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS, saith the Lord Almighty." (II Cor.6:17-18)

God is pro-creating Himself through mankind, created in His image, after His likeness. He is expanding His family... the God Family... "...as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude." (Gen.32:12)

Answer:Yes but the Bible and Christianity is young in the world. Mankind is older and so is it purpose.

Another View:

Religion is but a blindfold keeping ignorant people from asking the question "For what reason do we exist." Those who are satisfied with the answer given by religion "To just live like fools and wait for the ends of the world" (which is exactly what people are doing now.) Will never find the answer for they are content with lies.

Additional Comments:

There is no shortcut to anywhere worth going.

When people ask for what reason we exist they can then travel down a path which leads to the truth, which is beyond all words, simply if we knew the truth we would be content to not keep accumulating knowledge, things, we would not be subconsciously destroying ourselves, our friends our family and those poor bastards in the country that annoys us the most. We wouldn't even need to have country's! what would be the point!?

The ultimate purpose of mankind is to know the truth, to know the truth is to know oneself, to know oneself is to know god.

If mankind doesn't acknowledge this path it can only lead to disaster, either we make the effort to know ourselves and wake up, or we stay asleep and continue to make stupid decisions about our future, our childrens future and so on...

If someone never takes the time to look inside, how do they know they even have a soul to go to heaven? would you take someones word for it? if you don't know who you are, how can you know what you want? If you don't know who you are, how can you be sure of your purpose? if you don't know who you are, how can you know anything?

Stay asleep or wake up, the only sin is not know who you are, religion will only confuse you the only way forward is self inquiry, who am I? once you know the answer to that, you will know your purpose and the purpose of mankind. Every saint has said it in one way or another,

know thy self

Another Thought:

The purpose of mankind is to help other and teach others about Christ.

How old would Adam and Eve be if they were still alive?

Answer

As Adam and Eve were created in 4004BC dated according to Bishop Ussher that would make them 6,014 years old today (2010).

Answer

As revealed by the scientific record of humans on the earth, modern man dates back nearly 200,000 years. Radiocarbon dating of fossils can reach back only about 60,000 years, and the oldest fossils of modern humans come from a time much further back. But other radiochronological investigators can look at the materials in which the bones were found and cite a fairly accurate age. If Adam and Eve were modern humans and were indeed the first humans, they would be something on the order of 190,000 years old.

What sins did Adam and Eve from the story of the Garden of Eden commit?

They ate the forbidden fruit... Being an apple... Which God told them not to eat.

Which animal persuaded Adam and Eve to eat the fruit that they were not supposed to eat?

a snake

A:A snake with legs but when Adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit god was angered with the snake (i think the snake was the temptation of lucifer) god took away the snakes legs and arms. Answer from Islamic Perspective (Quran)In Quran, it is mentioned that Satan is the one who persuaded Adam and Eve to eat from the tree that God has forbidden them to approach. God informed both Adam and Eve that Satan is their enemy and advised them not to obey him. However, God- the All Knowledgeable- know in advance that Satan will persuade and cheat both Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree.

What were the names of Adam's and Eve's sons?

Cain.

Genesis 4:1

"Now the man had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. Then she said, "I have created a man just as the Lord did!" Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel took care of the flocks, while Cain cultivated the ground."
The firstborn was Cain

What was the name of the serpent in the tree that told eve to eat the apple?

The Bible does not give the snake a name. The snake was a common motif in ancient religions right around the ancient Near East. We can regard it as a a remnant of even more ancient animist beliefs or we can adopt the more recent Christian approach of believing that the snake was Satan, who would have made his task more difficult by pretending to be a snake.

Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis), says that we can learn most from the story by regarding it as a mythical yet realistic portrait of permanent truths about our humanity, rather than as a historical yet idealised portrait of a blissful existence we were tricked out of.

Why were Adam and Eve placed in the Garden of Eden?

A:To prevent them from eating from the tree of life.

By eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil as suggested by the serpent, they now possessed awareness of sin. God is holy and cannot abide in the presence of sin which causes death. Had they then eaten of the tree of life they would live forever and sin would have no consequence.

A:Adam and Eve were chased out of the garden of Eden, because thet sinned and fell from gods sight.
