Absolutely! Sin is just a church word for the moral errors we make. It is when we disobey the laws of God. Those commands are written on our heart as well as enumerated in Scripture. They serve as a plumb line to show us when we stray or err.

@@samueltaylor2757 One, it was created the same way man was. As a fully formed adult. There’s no evidence that the earth is or looks millions of years old. Radiometric dating is flawed in that it is only accurate to thousands to tens of thousands of years. They calculate based on an assumption they are trying to prove. It’s circular. Genesis is not written allegorically. There are certain styles of writing identifiable to the time as myth vs. poetry vs. narrative. Both of the Biblical creation accounts are true as one zooms in on the creation of man on day six. I really hope you keep watching and dig deep to find the answers! You don’t have to agree with me at all! I can certainly recommend more resources if you would like to dig deeper!

@@GracefulAnswers i get what you mean with the whole idea that God made adam an adult so why not the earth. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Are you still active? It looks like your last video was 6 months ago The reason I lean towards it being at least part myth/allegory is just how similar it is to non jewish creation stories. I think that God can weave his story through myth thats that made sense to the ancient people at the time. I think we get ourselves into a bit of a sticky mess when we try and apply modern day desire for historical and scientific accuracy on an ancient religious text. How do you know that the categories that we put in the text are binary in the sense that everything written in a narrative is claiming to be literal? While radiometric dating has its accuracy limits beyond 50,000 years, we don’t have any good reason to believe that life starts at the limit of radiometric dating. We have no good evidence to assume that isotope half lives become unpredictable to the point that we can say the science leads us to believe young earth creation. We can also observe and study the creation of other solar systems from earth. I’m not saying young earth creation is impossible, but rather it looks unlikely. You say that I don’t have to agree with you, but it doesn’t feel true. it feels very lonely being a Christian that thinks the way I do

So fascinating seeing these things play out over time as we read through Scripture, right?

I’ll check it out! thanks!

Mary if you email me I’d be happy to chat with you privately about it! Thanks for noticing! 😉 gracefulanswersministries@gmail.com

You are so sweet! I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well! Prayers!!

Ooh I like that!

They separated from the family early on- Abraham sent them away at God’s command and he set up his own family line.

Thanks for watching!

I’m so glad!! There’s value in doing both! The fast version gives you great overview, seeing how it all pulls together as one unified text. Slowly gives the context to understand the valuable lessons each section is meant to share. Both are important!

Georgia is gorgeous with the mountains! Glad you’re here watching! ❤️

That’s so sweet! So glad you’re here! I’m planning to jump to Matthew. Then back to Exodus, then Mark, then Leviticus, etc. I will lump smaller books together but that’s the general plan. That way we don’t get bogged down in one area. Going this in depth it works well to move back and forth. It’s a long term project, but time ticks on regardless, so why not do something while it goes? :)

@@GracefulAnswers Sounds good 👌 I have said before that I’m in the UK and can’t usually be up for the live streams because of the time difference, but I have been watching on replay every week. Love your work 😻

@@ChristinaBobina27 I so appreciate you watching!!

I’m so sorry you’re not well! Prayers!!

Probably not. I’d move on to a different reference material instead, like an atlas, commentary, etc.

Aw thanks!!

Yes ma’am! Will do!

Sure thing! I’ll start working on it!

Love to! Good idea! I’ve been collecting for quite a while and would love to share what I like and don’t!

I can do a whole video on homeschooling, too! This is our sixth year!

I personally prefer to use a digital version. I have a topical Bible (same idea) that’s a little more user friendly. Nothing wrong with Strong’s! Handy tool!

Honestly no idea how I get anything done with these pups around

No worries! Catch it any time!

Glad to see ya!

Glad you liked it! :)

I will absolutely be praying !! I’m so sorry!

Any time!

You’re so sweet!

Looking forward to it!

🥰

I’m so sorry you’re sick! I hope you feel better soon! ❤️

Aw thank you!! You’re so sweet!

That would be brutal. The father was the big decision maker so being his favorite had perks.

I will never not think of Big Bad Wolf now!! lol

@@GracefulAnswers Glad to be of service 😂

Good thinking! But Moses actually clarified that this was a separate occasion from Abraham’s. There are other differences, too. The way they are caught is different, there’s no agreement with Rebekah ahead of time, and we see the progression from a half-truth to a bold faced lie. Also, Isaac’s fear was less founded in that no one took Rebekah and God’s promise included to Isaac that God would be with him. That should have solved any remaining fear in his mind, but he lies anyway. But I do like that you’re thinking about repetition as a literary tool. When we talk about repetition in that sense, it’s a word or phrase that is repeated for emphasis.

@@GracefulAnswers I’m thinking the actual ruse being repeated is the literary tool that brings to mind the similarities and differences between father and son as well as the progression of the story of the people of Israel.

@@ChristinaBobina27 absolutely!!

I’m so glad you’re here, by the way!

I can see that. Broken humans using God to hurt others has to be extra offensive to God and breaks my heart.
