Christians Only. Can you tell me?

Question

The following question does not make me a unbielver. I am and willl remain a christian but I'm wondering about something. God-perfect, all power, holy, creator, makes no mistakes. Question: In Genesis 2:18 it shows that God said it was NOT GOOD (italics mine) that man should be alone.so- He made him a help mate... Eve. Is this to say that God had an after thought , corrected something and created woman? He would have known that man was alone, so why change things in a kind of after thought? 2Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6 speak of casting angels out of heaven. Was heaven not a perfect place? Angels are created a little greater than man so I think they would have known better than to rebel. If some angels sinned, is it possible that man, after going to heaven could do the same? Could we fall out of grace and be barred from heaven? Isn't it recorded someplace that God changed His mind? Why was there sin in perfect places? Why change mind? Could the same thing happen again? Plese help.

Answer 1

"Not good for a man to be alone" wasn't an after thought - it was a statement, one that's very true even today if you ask me.

As for a sin in a perfect place - God was perfect, heaven was perfect, his spirit children (that we're the angels), were not perfect.

I wouldn't worry too much about Him changing His mind about things. Ultimately God never distances Himself from us, we distance ourselves from Him. You won't get into heaven, and then have him show up out of the blue and have Him kick you out. Those who got kicked out knew it was coming because they had openly rebelled against God, they made that decision for themselves, they really decided to kick themselves out.

Hope that helps you sleep a little better.

Answer 2

Wow. a lot here!
First:
Gen1 describes the creation of man all the races on the 6th day
(remember god has said a 1000 years is like unto 1 day and 1 day 1000 years)
Gen2 on the 7th day he rested (1000 years) after the 7th day he creates THE Adam on the 8th day (about 2000 years latter)

The text
Gen 1
27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. - see the THEM more than 1 assume more than 1 set

31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Done on the 6th day

Gen 2
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.
The 7th day is now over

7 And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
If this on the 8th day is to be the first man what the hell happened to them created on the 6th day???? Come on use some wisdom this is THE Adam not an Adam of the 6th.

Now I don't know it God was going to let THE adam have a wife outside of the garden or not but he decided on makeing a special woman for him.
=========
Satan was a perfect being in the at the start. and loved God. His fall was the idea of serving God and Man.
For this he was kicked out.

Answer 3

Its recoreded that God does not alter, so he wouldnt change his mind. Creating Eve was an Add on, not a change of mind. Oh, I did this thing, but I want to add more. Not opps, I made a mistake. You cant sin in Heaven, the Bible tells us there is NO sin in heaven, therefore it cant and wont be done.

The Angels didnt necessarily sin, because angels were not bound by the same law man is, nor are they favored. That was part of the problem. Man was created with one thing the Angels did not get, free will. They KNOW God exists, they cant deny him, but Lucifer was jealous of that, and thats what go him kicked out. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

well, with the whole adam and eve thing, i don't think God made a mistake, and went back and corrected it. I think he just wanted to clearly say that man should not be alone, and there should be relationships on earth. I also think the wholoe thing where eve came from Adam's rib was making a statement as well.

Angels:

were they ereally created better than humans?? who's to say? I think that like man, Gad gave Angels their own spirit, and a choice to follow,obey, and help him.

About being banished from Heaven, I'm not sure. I would think that we wouldnt really have any power up there, so we wouldnt get power hungry and rebel. I woudl think we would be so amazed and happy to be there, we would have no reason to rebel.

Answer 5

The idea of man not being alone simply indicated that God examined what he did, and saw a need to add 'woman' for man.
As for heaven being 'perfect', it is, as is God, The followers of God have a choice, obey him or not obey him. They were apparently 'kicked out' of heaven for an imperfect choice and acting on that choice. Could 'man' make an imperfect choice in heaven, Yes.

Answer 6

Do you truthfully care what a set of idiots say. What you opt to appreciate is fundamentalists are a set of ineffective morons who dont recognize something about the bible, and declare they do reason they take it actually. truly, they're the worst thanks to bypass religiously. Any type of fundamentalism, Christian, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Pagan, jap, is very few invention of a set of boastful "Holier than thou's" who've by no skill even took a type on the bible, and have self assurance that a e book made thousands of years in the past, written with hidden messages is a regulation e book. Fundamentalist see their holy textual content as a rulebook, which won't be able to be executed, when you consider that holy books comprise all kinds of writing kinds, which includes memories, allegories, parables, poems, songs, historic charges, you call it. So alongside comes the fundamentalist, without preparation on something, alongside without immediately ahead sense or practise, bypass an make interpretations claiming they're proper, even as in fact they merely thoroughly dumbed down faith so some uneducated yokels and inner city trash might want to understand. listed decrease than are a catalogue of issues fundamentalist do a million. They pontificate in a "fireplace and brimstone" type 2. They placed too a lot attempt battling evolution theories claiming the international grow to be created in six days 3. they have self assurance that their little team is the in uncomplicated words saved team, merely reason they have self assurance it precisely the way their team does, and thats sufficient adequate. as a fashion to sin and be a dirtbag all they prefer reason their saved, and all the different good human beings bypass to hell 4. Terrorism is suited in Jesus call 5. They justify all filthy movements. 6. They communicate loud, and use too many syllables, to make themselves sound wise. 7. They unsolicited mail YA like CJ, before popular as Chris. yet as an aspect be conscious, mainline protestant churches fit in properly too, reason they settle for evolution. in an attempt to respond to your question, they sense their doctrine is more desirable to all others. yet their the in uncomplicated words ones of their little shell no longer accepting evolution, and can want to somewhat strive against it instead of settle for that their entire frame of mind is a shame. So fundamentalism might want to be stopped if we desire hatred and dictatorship.

Answer 7

These questions can really be answered better in a prayer group in a church with believers such as yourself.
I would suggest looking up a church if you do not go to one and ask them there.
These are not philosophical questions but actually ones I have encountered in my path which need study.
Fellowship is good.
The correct answers you need are better.
Jesus is best.

God Bless
