The Edemic promise speak of a promise through a line of women, not though Eve. Right? Also, Abraham ancestors understood that promise somewhat if not completely at times. The promise fulfilled came through Jesus. Adam and Eve are myths? Was the garden of Eden a real place? When you refer to archaic Eden are you talking about more of a historical place with civivilzaifon and caste and practices and not a "myth?" Some scholars disagree with you because you view Abraham not as a Jew (which I agree with you) but as a forefather to Judaism--but indeed and more a father to all. Please correct and I am still slowly going through the topics on the website. Very interesting and most amazing information as I love history and archeology. I am not familiar with some of the terms and conditions founded but. He DNA references and bianary group references, but I am learning. Why do Christans (myself) teach the Adam and Eve as real if they are not and only a myth, if so?

These ancients ruled differently because they believed they ruled by God's authority as ones appointed to preserve justice and the divine law. This was true for Constantine and later for Charlemagne. None of these rulers was without their faults, but leaders who believe that God is sovereign always govern differently than those who think the people are sovereign.Alice C.

Sargon is an example…”<br /><br />From time to time, we see apostasy and error within our own American Civil Religion and its variants (e.g., the Prosperity Gospel and then Pace MacLaren). Within the din, there are voices from the Church, denouncing the false teachings. <br /><br />For those times in history described in Genesis, is there archeological (or other) evidence of fringe groups, quietly (relatively speaking) voicing dissent against their own occasionally apostate civil religion.. as in the case of Sargon, e.g.?<br /><br />I realize that it’s a bit of an unfair question, as such things may not be extant or else dissenters in those times may not have even been literate. But I am curious. <br /><br />Thank you. J Eppinganoreply@blogger.com
