  • The Generations of Adam
    The Generations of Adam hat is the purpose of Bible chronology? According to Philip Mauro, in Wonders of Bible Chronology, “its basis is the Bible itself; its plan is the genealogical or life line that Wstretches from the first Adam to the last Adam ... and its purpose is to bring those who follow its progress to revelations of vital truth pertaining to God’s mighty work of redemption.” Genesis 5 reveals the time span between Adam and the worldwide flood of Noah’s time. The following table summarizes this time line: Age at: Anno Hominis Adam created 0 Adam's birth of Seth (130) 130 Seth's birth of Enosh (105) 235 Enosh's birth of Kenan (90) 325 Kenan's birth of Mahalalel (70) 395 Mahalalel's birth of Jared (65) 460 Jared's birth of Enoch (162) 622 Enoch's birth of Methuselah (65) 687 Methuselah's birth of Lamech (187) 874 Lamech's birth of Noah (182) 1056 time of worldwide flood Noah's 1656 (600) Before we analyze Genesis 5 further, a few general points must be made. First, the Bible is the only reliable source book that gives history with an exact chronology for the first 4000 years of the human race. It has been about 6000 years since the creation of man. For the first 3/5ths of this period, there is no chronological information whatever except in the Bible. The histories of other peoples give an account of their beginning vaguely and in the context of myths and fables. In contrast, the Bible is a very accurate historical document.

  • The Doctrine of Original Sin Therefore, Just As Through One
    The Doctrine of Original Sin Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all sinned --Romans 5:12 The first man: Adam In order to understand the doctrine of original sin, it is necessary to begin with the first created man, Adam. Scripture and Tradition tell us that "God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27). The first human, Adam, was created by God as the progenitor of the human race. From Adam’s ribs, God created his wife and companion, Eve. Together Adam and Eve, were given the loving gifts of free will, original justice and original holiness. God gave them the fruits, pleasures and duties of tending to the Garden of Eden where they lived in harmony with God, each other and God’s creations. 1 From the very beginning man held a special place in God’s creation. Composed of both flesh and spirit, man was created in, "the divine image" (Genesis 1:27) of the soul and was imbued with original holiness, justice and freewill. God placed mankind with, "dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth" (Genesis 1:28). Along with the gift of a soul came the gift of freewill. God, desiring the free love of mankind and viewing them as his children rather than slaves and servants, gave Adam and Eve the freewill to accept or reject God’s love.

  • Lucifer's Only Mention in the Bible Is at Isaiah 14:12. the Marginal Notes Of
    LUCIFER, WHO OR WHAT? ROBERT L. ALDEN, PH.D.* Lucifer's only mention in the Bible is at Isaiah 14:12. The marginal notes of many Bibles direct attention to Luke 10:18 where we read Jesus' words: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." I do not approve of such a connection and will seek to show why in the following paragraphs. The translation of the phrase helel ben shachar in Isaiah 14:12 is not easy. The hen shachar is not the problem.1 It means "son of dawn" or the like. The morning star is the son of the morning. The Hebrew idiom ben —"son" means anything closely related to or dependent on or described by the following word in the absolute state.2 But is helel a name? Is it a common noun? Is it a verb? The word helel appears in Zechariah 11:2 in parallel with a verb whose radical letters are yll. Both thus mean "howl" or "yell" and are apparently onomatopoetic. In Ezekiel 21:12 (v. 17 in Hebrew) we have a similar situation. There helel is parallel to zq which means "cry." Jeremiah 47:2 has a related form (hiph'il) and there the word is rendered "wail." The Syriac version, among others, so understood the word in question. "How are you fallen from heaven! Howl in the morning:.. ."3 More translators and commentators chose to render the word as a noun however. The Greek has heosphoros and the Latin lucifer. Both mean "light carrier." The translators of the Septuagint and the Vulgate along with the leading Rabbins and most of the early Christian writers understood the word as a derivative of hll, "to shine." Hence it means "bright one" or "shining one." This, of course, fits best with the rest of the phrase ben shachar, "son of dawn." Tertullian, commenting on Isaiah 14:12, said, "This must mean the devil..."4 Origen, too, readily identified "Lucifer" with Satan.5 John Milton's Paradise Lost has contributed to the dissemination of this erroneous notion: •Assistant Professor of Old Testament, Conservative Baptist Seminary, Denver, Colo- rado.

  • Another Look at Cain: from a Narrative Perspective
    신학논단 제102집 (2020. 12. 31): 241-263 https://doi.org/10.17301/tf.2020.12.102.241 Another Look at Cain: From a Narrative Perspective Wm. J McKinstry IV, MATS Adjunct Faculty, Department of General Education Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary In the Hebrew primeval histories names often carry significant weight. Much etymological rigour has been exercised in determining many of the names within the Bible. Some of the meaning of these names appear to have a consensus among scholars; among others there is less consensus and more contention. Numerous proposals have come forward with varying degrees of convincing (or unconvincing as the case may be) philological arguments, analysis of wordplays, possi- ble textual emendations, undiscovered etymologies from cognates in other languages, or onomastic studies detailing newly discovered names of similarity found in other ancient Semitic languages. Through these robust studies, when applicable, we can ascertain the meanings of names that may help to unveil certain themes or actions of a character within a narrative. For most of the names within the primeval histories of Genesis, the 242 신학논단 제102집(2020) meaning of a name is only one feature. For some names there is an en- compassing feature set: wordplay, character trait and/or character role, and foreshadowing. Three of the four members in the first family in Genesis, Adam, Eve, and Abel, have names that readily feature all the elements listed above. Cain, however, has rather been an exception in this area, further adding to Genesis 4’s enigmaticness in the Hebrew Bible’s primeval history. While three characters (Adam, Eve, and Abel) have names that (1) sound like other Hebrew words, that are (2) sug- gestive of their character or actions and (3) foreshadow or suggest fu- ture events about those characters, the meaning of Cain’s name does not render itself so explicitly to his character or his role in the narrative, at least not to the same degree of immediate conspicuousness.

  • LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 Why Did Cain Kill His Brother Abel?
    CHAPTER ONE LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 You two are book-men: can you tell me by your wit; What was a month old at Cain’s birth, that’s not five weeks old as yet? (Shakespeare—Love’s Labor’s Lost 4.2.40) Why did Cain kill his brother Abel? It is usually assumed by modern commentators that God’s rejection of Cain’s offering led him to kill his brother in a fit of jealousy.1 Such a conclusion is logical in light of the way the action in the story is arranged. But the fact is we are never told the specific reason for the murder. Ancient exegetes, as we will see later, also speculated over Cain’s motive and sometimes provided the same conclusion as modern interpreters. But some suggested that there was something more sinister behind the killing, that there was something inborn about Cain that led him to earn the title of first murderer. These interpreters pushed back past the actual murder to look, as would a good biographer, at what it was about Cain’s birth and childhood that led him to his moment of infamy. Correspond- ingly, they asked similar questions about Abel. The result was a devel- opment of traditions that became associated with the brothers’ births, names and occupations. Who was Cain’s father? As we noted in the introduction, Cain and Abel is a story of firsts. In Gen 4:1 we find the first ever account of sexual relations between humans with the end result being the first pregnancy.

  • SIN and SATAN ORIGINATE? Sin Originated with Satan, a Created Being, Whose Original Name Was Lucifer and Whose Original Home Was Heaven
    Family Bible Studies - 19 page 1 What the Bible says about – SinSin andand SatanSatan SCRIPTURE READING: EZEKIEL 28:12-17 REVELATION 12 Optimistic as any man may be, he still must concede to himself that this is not the kind of world he would make if he had the power to create one after his own desire. With all our churches and social organi- zations, we still have sin, sorrow, poverty, and woe. Despite modern medical science and innumerable hospitals, the world is a vast lazar house of sickness, suffering, and death. Fear, hatred, and distrust within the hearts of men bring forth crime, war, and bloodshed. Storms, earth- quakes, famines, and disasters multiply in these last hours of time. And so we raise our first question in this lesson about the relationship of God, sin, and suffering. 1 - DID GOD CREATE AN EVIL WORLD? The age-old, insistent, persistent question of the skeptic has always been, “Why would God create a world like this and let it continue?” This question has doubtless come to every thinking man and woman at some time. The Bible answer is that “God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). “God is love” (1 John 4:8). His law is love. All His dealings with all His creatures, when properly understood, are a demonstration of unchanging love. He did not create an evil world. 2 - WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF ALL OUR SUFFERING? Sin is the obvious cause of all our ills (Genesis 4:7; Isaiah 24:5).

  • Representation of Identities in Neil Gaiman's the Sandman
    SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW: REPRESENTATION OF IDENTITIES IN NEIL GAIMAN’S THE SANDMAN Andrés Romero Jódar Universidad de Zaragoza ABSTRACT Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is a graphic novel that explores the complexities of reality and identity. The main asset of this work is its presentation of a plurality of narratives that, together, create not only a completely new world vision according to comic-book stand- ards, but also a novel conception of cultural identity. This essay aims to analyze how The Sandman deals with identity construction as fashioned by two different but related no- tions: on the one hand, identity as the outcome of the confrontation between old concep- tions of the world and new roles, duties and values; on the other hand, identity as a change of situation, as the individual wilfully escaping from old masks that imprison the self inside predetermined patterns of behaviour. KEY WORDS: Comic-book, graphic novel, Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, identity. RESUMEN The Sandman de Neil Gaiman es una novela gráfica que explora las complejidades de la 149 realidad y de la identidad. El principal valor de esta obra es la presentación de una plurali- dad de narrativas que, en conjunto, crean tanto una visión del mundo completamente nueva respecto a los cánones del cómic, así como una concepción novel de la identidad cultural. El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar cómo The Sandman trata la construcción de la identidad como resultado de dos conceptos diferentes pero relacionados: por un lado, identidad como el resultado de la confrontación entre viejas concepciones del mundo y nuevos roles, deberes y valores; por otro lado, identidad como un cambio de situación, en el que el individuo escapa voluntariamente de viejas máscaras que aprisionan al sujeto dentro de modelos de comportamiento predeterminados.

  • Geometry of Force: Abel Ferrara and Simone Weil Tag Gallagher
    Geometry of Force: Abel Ferrara and Simone Weil Tag Gallagher Uploaded 30 June 2000 7165 words Abstract The true hero, the true subject, the center of the Iliad is force. Force employed by man, force that enslaves man, force before which man's flesh shrinks away. In this work, at all times, the human spirit is shown as modified by its relations with force, as swept away, blinded, by the very force it imagined it could handle, as deformed by the weight of the force it submits to.... To define force-it is that x that turns anybody who is subjected to it into a thing....It makes a corpse out of him. Somebody was here, and the next minute there is nobody here at all...From [force's] first property (the ability to turn a human being into a thing by the simple method of killing him) flows another..., the ability to turn a human being into a thing while he is still alive. He is alive; he has a soul; and yet-he is a thing....And as for the soul, what an extraordinary house it finds itself in! Who can say what it costs it, moment by moment, to accommodate itself to this residence, how much writhing and bending, folding and pleating are required of it? It was not made to live inside a thing; if it does so, under pressure of necessity, there is not a single element of its nature to which violence is not done.... Perhaps all men, by the very act of being born, are destined to suffer violence; yet this is a truth to which circumstance shuts men's eyes....They have in common a refusal to believe that they both belong to the same species: the weak see no relation between themselves and the strong, and vice versa...

  • The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This Paper Was Written for Dr
    The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This paper was written for Dr. Thomas! Milton course. It was presented at the 2009 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention. John Milton!s Satan is a psychologically complex character. Satan has qualities which make him a brilliant leader, but which also cause him great pain. He is a militant ruler with powerful speeches, and a cunning deceiver with rich disguises. The actions Satan takes, however, cause him great an- guish. It is through his soliloquies that Satan takes off his mask and reveals the troubled person he really is. John Milton in Paradise Lost portrays Satan as a proud, passionately manipulative, and complex character that endures an internal conflict from which he cannot escape. Though Milton begins his masterpiece in medias res, we must start from the beginning with Satan as the angel Lucifer. Lucifer enjoys his high stature in Heaven, until the Son is anointed instead of him, and he becomes jeal- ous. It is then that Lucifer draws emotionally away from God and Heaven. James Holley Hanford and James Taaffe show the results of this jealousy by commenting, “Following God!s announcement of the Son!s elevation, Satan initially defected from the angelic forces” (172). His defection is a result of be- ing too proud of being a servant, which leads to anger and thus, his rebellion. Royland Frye points out the irony of Satan!s refusal to become a slave in that Satan actually becomes a slave to his emotions. Frye says, “As a result of his choice, he becomes a slave to what would, psychologically, be called an "ego- deal,! an identification of the self with an impossible image,” (35).
