Warm-Up A. Project an image of the photograph on Adam Comes to Eden (page 113). Give students several minutes to quietly view the art before you say or ask anything. Allow them to come up and stand closer to the image to examine details. B. Once several minutes have passed, ask students: C I. ӹ What do you first notice about this work of 113 art? ӹ What is happening in this picture? In the first image, God (Jesus) is leading Adam into the Garden of Eden. Jesus is pointing out the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. ӹ What do you notice about Adam’s face in this work of art? Why do you think he is depicted like this? Adam’s face looks like Jesus’ face. The artist is likely trying to show that Adam was made in God’s image and likeness. ӹ Why do you think Jesus is included in the image? Jesus is God become man. Jesus told us that when we see Him, we see the Father. Therefore, the artist has chosen to depict God in this image as Jesus. ӹ Adam’s hand is over his heart. What might this mean? Eve was created from a rib taken from Adam’s side. The artist may be indicating the “loneliness” of Adam before Eve was created. 176 © SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS LESSON PLAN Activity e oles o a ean e A.

    Amazing Facts Study Guide-02 Did God Create the Devil

    Amazing Facts Study Guide 2 - Did God Create the Devil? Most people in the world are being deceived by an evil genius bent on destroying their lives - a brilliant mastermind called the devil, or Satan. But this dark prince is much more than what you might think... many say he's just a devious mythical figure, but the Bible says he's very real, and he's deceiving families, churches, and even nations to increase sorrow and pain. Here are the Bible's amazing facts about this prince of darkness and how you can overcome him! 1. With whom did sin originate? "The devil sinneth from the beginning." 1 John 3:8. "That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan." Revelation 12:9. Answer: Satan, also called the devil, is the originator of sin. Without the Scriptures, the origin of evil would remain unexplained. 2. What was Satan's name before he sinned? Where was he living at that time? "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!" Isaiah 14:12. Jesus said, "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." Luke 10:18. "Thou wast upon the holy mountain of God." Ezekiel 28:14. Answer: His name was Lucifer, and he was living in heaven. Lucifer is symbolized by the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14 and as the king of Tyrus in Ezekiel 28. 3. What was the origin of Lucifer? What responsible position did he hold? How does the Bible describe him? "Thou wast created." Ezekiel 28:13, 15. "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth." Ezekiel 28:14.

  • The Challenges to Islam from Scientific Views AO1

    The Challenges to Islam from Scientific Views AO1

    The challenges to Islam from scientific views AO1 The compatibility of Islam with scientific theories The key difference between Islam and science is that Muslims believe that Allah created the universe as part of his divine master plan. The Big Bang and other scientific theories of the creation of the universe suggest how matter could come together and split apart without the need to refer to a first cause. However, whether it is the Big Bang or one of the other theories, Muslims believe that God is at work in the creation constantly. The Qur’an seems to agree that change happened gradually; that planets moved apart; that life then came into being but it is the reason behind such changes that Muslims see as Allah as they argue that Allah creates the forces to control the universe, and in that way the events described by modern scientists in their version of creation can be accepted. Many Muslim philosophers such as Al-Biruni saw evidence in the world that pointed to Allah as a creator and the first cause. They also argued that the universe was created within time. Medieval philosophers used reason to analyse what they saw and tried to make sense of creation just like a scientist might do today. This scientific method has been used to show that there is beauty and meaning in the universe and a power behind it all. However, the creation of humanity brings in one of the most difficult and controversial of scientific theories for a Muslim: evolution. Just as with other religious believers from different religious traditions, many Muslims just reject outright the theory of evolution and accept that if Allah is ‘God’ then anything is possible.
  • LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 Why Did Cain Kill His Brother Abel?

    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.

The series aims to connect the interests and expertise of faculty in Washington-area theological schools with the questions and concerns of people in congregations regarding the relationship between science and religion. We hope to bring theological reflection and scientific research to adult education groups, in an interdisciplinary and ecumenical exploration of fundamental issues in this relationship.

    Chrysostom and Augustine on the Sin of Adam and Its Consequences

    "Chrysostom and Augustine on the Sin of Adam and its Consequences" A Study of Chrysostom's “Homily 10, On Romans” and Augustine's Interpretation of it in Contra Julianum by Fr. Panayiotis Papageorgiou, Ph.D. Presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Patristic Studies Oxford August 23, 1991 Published in the St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly, Vol. 39 - No. 4, 1995 Introduction A detail, which for some may seem minor, regarding the meaning of “the sin of the first man” and its consequences, has separated the Eastern and Western theological traditions, from the time of St. Augustine. The majority of Eastern Fathers understood that the transgression of Adam caused the fall of humanity away from the grace of God, the introduction of death, pain, fear and suffering into our lives, and the introduction of the human defects1 into our nature.2 Augustine's understanding, on the other hand, was that all of the above are consequences of the fact that the sin of Adam and his guilt are transmitted, or propagated, through the act of procreation3 and are found in every person born. Hence, the sin of Adam defiles all humanity including children, who have no other sins of their own. Therefore, all human beings are condemned because of the sin of Adam (original sin), which they bring with them and for which they become responsible, unless they are baptized. Although, in his work Contra Julianum Pelagianum4 he examined some of the works of various Fathers, Eastern and Western, he still came to the conclusion that they all agreed with him.

    Eve & Adam Seth Noah & Wife

    Eve & Adam God created the first man and woman as the first family. They made a horrible choice to sin against God. But God had a perfect plan to rescue them and all of us. It’s the first promise. (Genesis 3:15) 1 Noah & Wife God told Noah to build a big boat called an ark. God was going to Seth send rain to destroy the earth through a flood. It had never rained Cain was wicked. When Adam was 130 years old, he had another son before. The people mocked Noah for building the ark but God named Seth. God had chosen another man from which He would bring the promised to save Noah, his wife and sons. Noah lived another Messiah. Then men began calling on the Lord again. (Genesis 4:25-26) 350 years after he and his family left the ark. Each son went a different direction and Shem stayed in the same region as the ark landed. It is believed that Abraham is part of Shem’s family. 2 3 Abraham & Sarah Shem God spoke to Abraham and told him to pack up his wife and his house- hold (which was a lot of people that worked for him and all their animals) Noah had three sons. Shem, Ham and Japeth. Ham went south (Israel, and move to another place. God didn’t tell him where but told him to get Egypt, Africa), Japeth went north (Europe) and Shem made his life going. (Genesis 12) They had no children but a nephew named Lot.
