“The Fall”? “The Curse”? What Does The Bible Really Say? A “Curse”? A “Fall”?

Edward O’Hara Why is it that we hear so many using such hyperbole? Is it hyperbole? Or is it Biblical language? Is this language found anywhere in the Bible from which we may conclude anything like this? When we read the Genesis account do we ever see God using this language? Do we see God using “The curse” or “The fall” in connection to what happened to Adam and Eve? Does God say Adam and Eve were cursed? Or that they “fell” from anything? Do any of the writers of the scriptures use these terms to describe what happened to Adam and Eve? Let’s take a look. You may be surprised at what we find. We’ll start with Genesis and then also see what Paul says about this.  But first, let me give you something to consider that will be answered later…

PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH OF HIS SAINTS- PS.116:15

We are so loved by our God that our deaths, though planned this way by God from before the world was made, just as Jesus’ death was, are precious in His sight. Made mortal from the beginning in the hope that this would motivate us to seek for it’s solution and to “call upon His name”. In all my messages one of my main goals is to help people to know that everything God does He does because of love. And how the doctrine of original sin teaches the exact opposite. John tells us that God IS love. This love is His motivation for creating, and wanting, and making it possible for us to have a personal relationship with Him. This is why God said, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints”. Ps.116:15 This…

GOD IS LOVE- PT.3- JOINING WITH US IN

OUR DEATH… By Edward O’Hara Not in our place. No one can die for someone who is already dead in trespasses and sin.  In John’s message in 1 John 4 he is showing us that God IS love. And that because God IS love we can trust Him no matter what this life may bring. He shows us that we will recognize the Spirit of God from the spirit of Antichrist because God’s love for us caused Him to take on the same flesh all men have. Doing this so that Jesus could join with us in death. That by the resurrection He could conquer death for us. And we have also learned in Pt.2 that real love is a choice and can not be forced. Which makes free will absolutely imperative for those who love God and each other. We learned…

OUR SPIRITUAL HOUSE… A GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION

Edward O’Hara Sat 2/15/2020 1:48 PM… Paul wrote some incredibly inspiring and comforting words. But, none more so than these; “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the…
