Dr Hugh Ross I pray to Almighty God to keep you around with us for a long while because whenevet we get a gigantic mind such as yours to explain Christianity we tend to lose them early thus leaving us grabbing at straws like a drowing man though we have great Apologetics we still need our Christian Geniuses around
interesting thoughts. When i get to heaven i will ask. Imagine trying to condense all the books from all the library's in the world, that explained how to build a ship to travel to the moon, down to one book. The bible is condense to explain everything that God decided was the most important of all creation and interactions in one book.
I understand that God can create everything in no time at all but why would He do that, why would he create Adam from scratch and immediately have him working in the new garden, have him name all the animals, take a piece of him to make Eve then tell him to be fruitful and multiply all in no time at all or in 24 hours? Could God have made Jesus to do what he did in no time at all or 24 hours?
@Samthegreek Boy This question is an old one but if you still believe or if you believed at all in the Bible I want to answer your question but in the attempts that you go back through to investigate for yourself. We must realize that Adam is the father to mankind and the first. He created Adam so that he could be in relationship with God (and not because God needed a relationship) but prior to humans being created there were spiritual beings that were created as we know are angels. So scripture is very clear (read job to see more) that the fall of the angels had taken place and God had dealt with satan or Lucifer and had banished him and his associates from heaven (the spiritual dimension where Spiritual beings dwell and where the kingdom is). With this we see the age of the pneumatic beings ending ajd the age of the humans beginning. Now God did not just make us simply to replace Lucifer but he made us to be the sons and heirs to the infinite legacy God established. If Jesus in the flesh was made there still wouldn’t have been people to save😭there weren’t people at all during this point in time except for Adam and before Adam and Eve ate the fruit they were perfect! So sin was not introduced yet in this point and time. We are not only finding the indications to connect it to our lives in the 21st century but now in what actually happens as to how Adam was put in charge of the garden and to name the animals. This was not simply to assign a task but a training ground to get Adam prepared to lead an entire host of beings on this earth to expand and be the sons of God. This is powerful because in this we see that God trust his creation, he wants to give us authority, and then he wants us to grow. So there is a applicability to our lives and then what happened in the actual time of Adam. Not only was the adams authortu over the garden but Over the systems and processses of the world. Satan swindled Eve who talked with Adam and that system was given up. Whoever can take the authority is the rightful owner of that authority. Also I must note that adam had a direct connection with God so his entire essence was perfect, his spirit, his mind, and his soul and this would pass to the next generations as they would conceive and bare children. But since they took on sin and ate the fruit they lost the connection. That’s why Jesus is so vital. Because he took the chronic condition we know as sin upon him, died (because the wages of sin is death) and then rose again defeating that death to give us that eternal connection back. I know this is long but it needed the context and there is more to discuss if you want I wanted to give a high level view for you to understand maybe not to believe but just to understand

Thank you for this. God bless you.
Happy New Year.
