    This, I think, is saving my faith. As a former Jehovah’s witnesses elder, I finally rejected JW based on their theology. But it has pushed me to an agnostic position. But you really help to have an more intellectual and historic based understanding of this questions in my mind. Thanks man

      Amen! I used to have a coworker who was JW and had many good apologetic conversations with him. Because of that, I've done a lot of research about the JW religion and I have empathy for them. I too used to be an agnostic until I discovered the more intellectual traditions of Christian Theology! May God continue to guide you and bless you, brother.

      I’ll be saying a prayer that the Holy Spirit will teach you all things as we are told in the Word & that your faith is encouraged. I too was raised in a sect that was doctrinally challenged to put it kindly. Just like you I found myself falling away as I learned much of what I’d been taught was wrong or an outright lie. I fell away but always felt a sort of pull back to the Lord. I got deep into research & am eternally grateful to God that He lead me to truth, & blessed me with salvation & assurance of His love & grace! It is my sincere prayer that He do the same for you! My life has truly been a testament to the fact that we may give up on Him, but He does not give up on us! All we have to do is diligently seek Him, knock & He will answer!

    Another act of mercy or blessing by God in this chapter is actually removing Adam and Eve from the garden. Because, in the garden they had access to the tree of life, which made them live forever. God did not want humans to live forever in a fallen state, as that would be terrible for the humans.

      His videos are very good!!! I have truly been blessed by them. However, no one is inerrant. With that being said, I want to offer a different perspective.
      He points out the difference between conception and birth, which is fine, but then gives commentary stating that the verse is referring to anxiety fueled by uncertainty in the *Future* conditions and needs of her children. I just don't see this being reality.
      Normally the only time someone has anxiety at conception, is if they didn't want to get pregnant. But that is certainly not what the scriptures are talkin about.
      Furthermore, grief or *anxiety in conception* is not the same as *anxiety about your child's future.* The argument could then be made that if that is the band-width of conception anxiety, then that would also include the pains of childbirth.
      This is why I believe the traditional translation of this passage is more accurate. Pain, sickness, anxiety, grief, and death were not God's original plan. But we know that childbirth brings with it extreme grief in the form of pain and anxiety.
      When it comes to a woman's desire being for a husband, and him ruling over her, I think this is pointing to a physical out working of a spiritual truth, sort of like homosexuality in Romans 1 is a physical out working of a spiritual truth...
      Namely, that the parable of man's rebellion towards God's headship and authority will be lived out through the marriage covenant in the form of the woman resenting his authority, and wanting to take the lead or be him altogether... today's popular culture is a perfect example of this.
      This will cause tension that will result in the man asserting and subsequently abusing his authority over her.
      Thus, the marriage covenant, along with every other aspect of creation, has been cursed by the Fall.
      Just another perspective to consider.
      Be blessed!!!

This whole Genesis series is awesome, well researched and presented. I just saw a preview for The Nephilim, whoa! I will look at many of your videos in depth. On Job right now as well. I was floundering in life, being hyper critical and over scientific and struggling to balance deaths and visions of close family members on their deathbeds with a few instances I have of people in cath labs who say they were sent back and spoke to God. I have been coming back to thinking that maybe earth isn't a prison planet. (My mom died of breast cancer after a long life of suffering and of being practically a saint and a spark of light in the world, she didn't have a good view of God in the end, she earned that way of thinking personally, through pain and suffering) and Lets just say your research is a bright light when I have needed it most.

    Mans interpretation is always limited by their personal understanding. The more you know the less you know. The more you think you understand, the less you actually understand.
    The more granular you get.. the more gets revealed.. It is a never ending seeking for some. Just when you think you got it sussed.. It all falls apart.. Such is life.

    The serpent did indeed lie. He told them that the reason God didn't want them to eat of the Tree of Knowledge was because He was afraid that they would become like Him - knowing Good and Evil. But the bible says that God made them in His image and LIKENESS. They were already LIKE God. He does what any good salesman can do - he sold them what they already had.

The most profound thing that can happen to an individual in this world. It is the guarantee in the substance of eternal life for the one who is born again WHO only desires to do God's will he only desires to hear God's thought.

    The lessons of Genesis are many and profound.The serpent didn’t lie to Eve, but by withholding the full consequence of their actions he took advantage of their ignorance, pride, and innocence.I think we see that Eve had a childlike understanding of morality by her immediate resistance to take the fruit. I think the “Knowledge” they obtained was by their disobedience they began to understand the consequences of evil immediately resulting in their shame and loss of innocence.
    Where I think I differ from your interpretation is that I think that they should have died the day they ate from the tree.I think we see a foreshadowing of the Gospel when God sacrifices the innocent animal in the garden, which not only provided coverings for them, but for their sin and allowed for them to escape death that day.To be fair, you haven’t got to that verse yet.I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

    I've watched a few of your videos to include Genesis 3a, which were truly insightful. However, I believe you are way off as it pertains to Genesis 3:16.
    You point out the difference between conception and birth, which is fine, but then, you give commentary stating that the verse is referring to anxiety fueled by uncertainty in the *Future* conditions and needs of her children. I just don't see this being reality.
    Normally the only time someone has anxiety at conception, is if they didn't want to get pregnant. But that is certainly not what the scriptures are talkin about.
    Furthermore, grief or *anxiety in conception* is not the same as *anxiety about your child's future.* The argument could then be made that if that is the band width of conception anxiety, then that would include the pains of childbirth as well.
    This is why I believe the traditional translation of this passage is more accurate. Pain, sickness, anxiety, grief, and death were not God's original plan. But we know that child birth brings with it extreme grief in the form of pain and anxiety.
    When it comes to a woman's desire being for a husband, and him ruling over her, I think this is pointing to a physical out working of a spiritual truth, sort of like homosexuality in Romans 1... Namely, that the parable of man's rebellion towards God's headship and authority will be lived out through the marriage covenant. This will cause tension that will result in the man asserting and subsequently abusing his authority over her.

      "Normally the only time someone has anxiety at conception, is if they didn't want to get pregnant."
      In the ancient world, the opposite was feared, that a wife would NOT get pregnant. You can't compare today's casual sex environment with the ancient world.
      "This will cause tension that will result in the man asserting and subsequently abusing his authority over her."

    Pretty good, and mostly agree with this. Though, I think you may have been ragging on Adam and Eve too hard, as if they had malicious intent. The Serpent made them question the integrity of God (which produces doubt) and made them feel like they lacked something needed for Life (to which you can argue, they did), but the Serpent made them eat from the Tree of Knowledge and do it from a point of self-effort (thinking they have to save themselves) to attain life and satisfy the lack that the Serpent made them feel they had. Concupiscence manifested in them (We all want to live, of course) and they ate. Unfortunately, they gained the wisdom, but now they interpret that wisdom as them needing to clothe themselves by their own effort. A never ending cycle of trying to satisfy your own lack when only God can do that. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was intended to show them to the Tree of Life so that they may live forever.
    Satan deceived them, and caused all of this.
