I was raised in an evangelical family in NZ and Australia, where my father had a true spiritual awakening one night in his early 20's back in the 60's. He had left a violent home life when he was 12 and became a rock n roll drummer, living the RnR lifestyle when he met my mother. He accepted Jesus as his saviour and was literally transformed into a new man, and the Bible really was the Living Word in his life and our home. I'm now in my 50's and it has taken a long time for my siblings and I to find the living God in our own lives... In my own life, I experienced a true divine intervention, through earnest prayer of a Psalm I had learned growing up, and now I live my life as best I can, as prayer to Him. I really appreciate your channel very much. Thank you for all you give, especially in this time of great turbulence. May God bless you and keep you always.
Yeah this is considered by most to be "crazy talk", but teaching children that they emerged from meaningless primordial slime with no Creative impetus is normative and enforced by law? And people wonder why we're so cynical today.
Yeah, the nihilistic, flat, meaningless, godless, and sterile wasteland I found myself in when growing into adulthood is no joke. Only now I am slowly starting to see the light and I am 26.

The idea that Adam named all the animals, and that Adam is also the whole of humanity, made me think that this process of mediation between heaven/earth and the process of “naming” must still be a role that humanity (Adam) is playing even now. And it then occurred to me that of course this is still happening! This is basically what science is - discovery and naming (eg naming new species of plants, animals, minerals and other natural phenomena).
Wow, absolutely amazing. God created the first Adam with Breath/Spirit/Wind and manifested the begotten second Adam, Christ, with Breath/Spirit/Wind. John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
I love that deep meanings , we can see that also when a child is born , the child is pure , he or she is in GODs image , and when growing up the fall happens from others , it enters his mind . Whats interesting is jesus was born in bethlehem wich in arabic it means a body of flesh and in hebrew its a body of bread , and then he went to nazareth wich in arabic al nasera and it means overcoming or winning and then he went to jerusalem wich means the perfect light " or shalem " and i can see this cities as steps towards enlightenment , we are born in a body of flesh , then we must overcome our own selfishness , in order for us to enter the perfect light . And jesus christ showed us the way he is the way
Thank God 🙏 and thank you both for sharing your understanding. 🙏 It's so plain, yet So few see this. Buy Matthieu's Book!! The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis: a Commentary
Yes, "naming the animals" not just by whim --even today sounds bear meaning within themselves. Kaa evokes a kind of wickedness, abn or abneh is brotherly in an honest way. Traditionally, Hebrew letter/sounds each have a meaning, and a numerical value.
I think as the "Last Adam," (according to Paul) Christ succeeded where Adam and Eve failed in that job as mediator. Their failure meant The Son then had to step forward in that capacity.
Yes, and good point. It is because Adam was made in God's image and likeness, modeled after the Son of God, that he was made to share in that mediatorship. That's why when Christ is revealed as THE mediator, He is called the New Adam. "Adam was the type of him who was to come." (Rom 5:14) "Mankind begins with the Adam who became, as Scripture tells us, a living soul; it is fulfilled in the Adam who has become a life-giving spirit." (1 Cor 15:45) "[Christ] is the true likeness of the God we cannot see; his is that first birth which precedes every act of creation." (Col 1:15)
Where the hell did all of this knowledge go? Did one man, Martin Luther, really manage to kill it all for generations and billions of people? Like wth.
I've seen it argued that the triumph of nominalism in the modern age killed it. Also, there's something to do with an excess of occultic practices during the Renaissance and the subsequently shocking debunking of the Hermetic texts which served as its foundation leading intellectuals to focus narrowly on only what can be measured as reality. I'm sure there's a bit more to it, but it's certainly more than one man that did it.

What a great testimony. May I ask - what was the Psalm you had learned?
God bless from another Kiwi
Nice testimony. Want to share the Psalm yet?
Which Psalm?

Its harder for us to interpret the world without being confused by our ego post fall
“Thorns and thistles” represents how much energy is now a practice in futility. Glad others have picked up on man being the cosmic mediator.

is it better to say Adam "presents" man, rather than "re-presents" man
You can also see dust/earth and you can't see breath/wind/spirit

Christ is surely the mediator between heaven and earth? Between God and man?
I think as the "Last Adam," (according to Paul) Christ succeeded where Adam and Eve failed in that job as mediator. Their failure meant The Son then had to step forward in that capacity.
Isn't Christ the mediator between Heaven and Earth?
Yes, and good point. It is because Adam was made in God's image and likeness, modeled after the Son of God, that he was made to share in that mediatorship. That's why when Christ is revealed as THE mediator, He is called the New Adam.

@@nickj5451 great answer
Just a guess...So if man represents the relationship between heaven and earth...Jesus represents the personal relationship between God and man?
Why he is considered to be the new Adam.

The industrial revolution. People left religion to pursue luxury.
How did Martin Luther kill what’s in the Bible?

In traditional cosmology, if they had known what space was, would they simply have considered it part of "Earth?"
