Greetings @searchingtruths. Peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your wisdom. For the most part I agree with what you have said. Thank you for your contribution. I wanted to nitpick on the quote above a little bit though, since it has to do with the topic of the OP. I want...

Greetings percho. Grace and hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. The "serpent" of Genesis 3 is not a literal serpent, was never a literal serpent and therefore never became a literal serpent. See this most recent thread... The Genesis 3 "serpent" Not An Actual Snake Peace to you brother

Greetings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm still on the "Satan's fall" kick and trying to seek truth and clarity. The story in Genesis 3 is in fact a depiction of three characters falling in-concert with one another. It reads like a single, interconnected three character communal...

yea, don't know how it got here. Sorry about that.

Grettings You are correct on your point about the NT, but it doesn't counter my OP point. To make sure you don't have my point wrong and the development of name backwards. The Hebrew word śā-ṭān didn't start as a personal proper name with a root that means "adversary"... it started as a word...

Peace to you Van. Grace and hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. I agree. The NT started using these titles, roles, and imagery as names...as we do today. Yes. Thank you for your wisdom. Peace to you brother

Peace and Love to all my brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ. After learning that the biblical text never reveals the names of any fallen angel, ever. One quickly realizes that figurative language will be the rule when referring to the fallen angels within the Bible’s historical...

Greetings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. Below is a point-by-point progression of why the Holy Scriptures tell us that Satan's first sin was in the garden of Eden. The initial intent of the Hebrew author and the understanding of the ancient Hebrew audience was that God creates...

Greetings @Ascetic X. Peace and hope to you on this glorious Wednesday God has made. May His name and truth reign throughout all the earth. It might be time to start thinking, or researching, before making claims. A. For an early example, Irenaeus of Lyons asserted that Satan fell in the...

Greetings @Ascetic X. Thank you for your dedication to God's word and the pursuit of His truth. This appears to be an attempt at philosophical logic, possibly because your attempt at using Isaiah 45:18 as support text failed. I have no objections, but it is not an attempt for clarity of...

Greetings to you @Ascetic X. Peace and hope to you, brother, in our Lord Jesus Christ. Well, your loaded question aside (the "huge mess" comment), yes, the ancient Hebrew understanding, and lesson, of Genesis 1 was that Genesis 1:2 described an initial state of creation as being disorganized...

Greetings @searchingtruths . Peace and Hope to you brother in our Lord Jesus Christ. You had written in the previous thread, "all is still interpretations of what any interpreter interprets" It seems to me that we, meaning Protestant Christians in general and Baptists specifically (since...

Peace to you brother. Hope and Peace to you in our Lord Jesus Chirst The question would be, how much longer before? As I have detailed in the thread Satan’s Fall #2: Genesis 1:1 Intends “Everything Made”, the biblical text has set perimeters for the event. Well, right out of the gate you...

Not at all. Thanks for seeking clarification. Creation was/is for Him, He is the Alpha, and all creation culminates toward Him, He is the Omega. Peace brother

Peace to you Deacon. Looks like I originally missed your post. I might add to your suggested "emphasis of the Genesis creation" story by adding, The emphasis is that God is (a) the creator of all things made and (b) brings order and life from disorder and lifeless (See post #12). It is...
