Re: Nephillum????
Hey Rodney,
The point I made was that the ground of the garden was not cursed. Adam was removed from the garden, and placed into the world outside, where he had to bust his hump to sustain himself. In the garden his work was to tend and care for the garden. Have you ever had occasion to garden??? The whole weed thing is a total drag.
Incidentally, Adam and Eve's long garments of skin, refer to God's last creative act. This is when God made them geneticly inferior, so as to slowly age and fail{die}. However preAdamic Man did not have the benefit of living that long at all. Presumably, they lived at a maximum of 120 years. Imagine the perspective of preAdamic Man, upon witnessing the youthful vigor that the chosen people of God maintained, as they aged and died??? It is the same with the Jews. When they were in good standing with God, they prospered. Over the past, almost 6000 years, which will arrive on March 21st 2008, on the spring Solstice, the maximum lifespan of all men will have been diminished down to 120 years. Moses died on his 120th birthday. Do you think that a coincidence??? No, his time was up!
Christian love, Mr. Steve
