03/01/2022 – Day 002 – Genesis 1 – 3 / Commentary and Apologetic Press: “Are there two creation accounts in Genesis?”/ Questions for the group / Movie recommendation: “Is Genesis History?
I recommend this article. To pull up the article , click the symbol in the lower right hand corner below:
Genesis 3:22: “The Lord God said, ‘Since man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, and also take from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.’ “
I would like to share Jonathan’s Gill commentary on this verse :

Questions for our fellowship group to stimulate discussion:
- Re: Original sin: All human beings will have the stain of original sin, baptized Christians or not, from birth up until death. True or False? And if false, what removed it?
Here are some term definitions for us to explore:

2. Did man evolve from the apes? Y or N?
3. Old Earth (billions of years) or New Earth (say 6,000 to 8,000 years)? I will tip a personal answer on this one: I saw a Del Tacket Genesis flood documentary a couple years back that was excellent. It definitely pushed me towards “New Earth”. Believe it or not, I am still undecided, part of that being due to a neglect in my science education relative to other subjects. But our reading today has driven me to put the movie again on my to-do list.
Here we go, the link in case you too are interested:
Movie: “Is Genesis History” moderated by Del Tackett

- I don’t know what’s up with the link – it wouldn’t copy over.
Del Tackett was the moderator for Focus on the Family’s “Truth Project that goes back two+ decades ago. He was a career Air Force officer prior to that. He led the tiger team that devloped a critical command and control system for NORAD in Cheyenne Mountain , Colorado. And post miliary, he is one of the founders of New Geneva Thelogical Seminary. He has multiple cross discipline doctorates, a career student and life long learner. Let me just say, he is smarter than the average bear.
4. Do you accept Genesis 1 and 2 as literal ?; including that Adam and Eve were the first two humans on the earth.
I will share my other answers if a brother(s) comments back.
This has been fun!; and, we have 363 days to go !
Soli Deo Gloria!
