Did Jehovah God speak to Adam directly or through an angel?

Question

NO Goffy answers.

Perhaps you would like to read the Following scriptures..(Genesis 16:7-11; 18:1-3, 22-26; 19:1; Judges 2:1-4; 6:11-16, 22; 13:15-22)

Answer 1

Through an angel, it would seem.

Answer 2

Well the "Jehovah God" thing confused me but if you are talking about God,i would say directly.

Genesis 2:16-17 The Lord God told the man, "You are free to eat from any tree of the garden. But do not eat from the tree of learning of good and bad. For the day you eat from it you will die for sure."

God also walked "with" them.

Genesis 3:8 Then they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening. The man and his wife hid themselves from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Genesis 3:9 But the Lord God called to the man. He said to him, "Where are you?"

Genesis 3:11 The Lord God said, "Who told you that you were without clothes? Have you eaten from the tree of which I told you not to eat?"

Genesis 3:13Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"

Of course the conversation is two way and it goes on but these were some of the verses i thought would answer your question.
If God was speaking through an angel they probably would have put that.

Genesis 16:11 The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery."

Genesis 21:17 17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.

as aposed to :

Exedos3:4-5 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said.

anyway i hope that this helped!

Answer 3

Most assume that G_D speaks to Adam, Eve, Moses, etc. And we are even told this in the Bible.

But from reading the Bible and a few of the other lost books, more Enoch than most. I have come to realize that NO ONE speaks to G_D directly. That everyone goes through an angel.

And an angel can become the form of anything or anyone, even G_D to deliver the message.

Its kinda hard to wrap your mind around in away but makes sense. For G_D would only actually speak to his select few that are around him, the highest angels. The rest of us would be conducted through messengers.

In way like a business. A CEO doesn't tell the employee's what to do, that's the managers job.

Good question, glad to see another who thinks and does as YHWH states. Seek truth for truth will lead you to Him.

Answer 4

According to the Book of Genesis, God spoke directly to Adam in the garden.

Answer 5

Directly....even if the Bible hadn't said so, why else do you think Adam tried to hide his nakedness from God when God went to speak to Him after Adam and Eve shared the apple?

God spoke to all His chosen until they decided they wanted a human type "king" like the other people had...So, God obliged them...

Peace be with you :)

Answer 6

The narrative of this occurrence well illustrates the manner in which traditions have tended to ascribe everything supernatural to God. Because of this, we have often become confused concerning the nature of the Universal Father since the words and acts of all his associates and subordinates have been so generally attributed to him. In the case of Adam and Eve, the angel of the Garden was one of the seraphic Voices of the Garden.

Answer 7

Religion doesn't want people to realize that Adam was the earliest example of primitive man (to say the least). If anything, he could only grunt. Many times the word religion can let people drop their intellectual guard. Common reasoning must prevail. Language had not yet been created.

Answer 8

The real, one and only true God spoke to Adam directly. He walked with him in the garden and spoke to him all the time. No intercessory angels required.

Edit: Let US go down...

Two ways to think of it - the "royal we", which I doubt, or the fact that God is One, but in three distinct Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Still only one true God.

Answer 9

Ever read a BIBLE?It says that he spoke to and walked with adam in the evening in the garden until adam and eve blew and got kicked out.

Answer 10

directly but I want to know who he was talking to when he said "Let US create man in OUR image."

He talked directly to Cain and Noah and even Moses himself. Even though with Moses he appeared as a burning bush. Remember when Moses' hair turned white when he went back up the mountain after the broke the tablets.

Answer 11

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
