On Quora, in answer to: "Is the story of God creating Eve for Adam in the Bible true?"

It is true - in Scripture, like in most books, what is non-history is marked as such in various ways, but the account of Adam and Eve is treated as history (and, for example, it is treated as history by Christ).

Another thing someone pointed out is that if Adam and Eve were fictional, since it gives a genealogy from Adam to Jesus, either Jesus is also fictional, or someone in that genealogy is half fictional and half non-fictional. ?

As to whether God created at all, this has more to go into elsewhere, but, in a nutshell: because of the law of cause and effect, if anything exists, then something must exist that is eternal, from which everything came - and because a greater thing cannot come from a lesser thing, what is eternal must be the greatest thing that can exist. It must be an eternally present, eternally living, eternally reasoning being.

As to why God made Eve from part of Adam, it is reasonable to think that he did so specifically in order to establish the nature and design of marriage, as it says that because she is made from a part of man, this is why a man and woman become one flesh in sex, and why they must be married (covenanted to not forsake their own flesh).

So not only is it true, it is foundational to one of the most foundational and deeply beautiful parts of being human, being God’s image.

Thought for Today: Sunday August 04

Discernment will act as a watchdog to keep us from getting lost in the morass of tomorrow's depravity and deceptions even as we keep pace with its advancements.

"These shall go into everlasting punishment, and the righteous into life eternal."

Mt 25

Our 05 Suzuki needed a carburetor when we shoved it under the deck ten years ago. My boy put the carb on it last week and it sprung back to life. Amazing quality!

I hope everyone had a peaceful shabbat! Welcome the new week, determined to persevere! Shalom.

Tehillah 24 - Day 1 (Yom Rishon)
The earth belongs to YHWH, And all that fills it – The world and those who dwell in it.
For He has founded it upon the seas, And upon the waters He does establish it.
Who does go up into the mountain of YHWH? And who does stand in His set-apart place?
He who has innocent hands and a clean heart, Who did not bring his life to naught, And did not swear deceivingly.
He receives a blessing from YHWH, And righteousness from the Elohim of his deliverance.
This is the generation of those who seek Him; Ya‛aqoḇ, who seek Your face. Selah.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And let Melek Hakavod come in.
Who is this Melek Hakavod? YHWH strong and mighty, YHWH mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Even lift up, you everlasting doors! And let Melek Hakavod come in.
Who is this Melek Hakavod? YHWH of hosts, He is Melek Hakavod! Selah.
