Why Did God Blame Adam and Not Eve for Bringing Sin to Mankind?

Image
In Genesis 3, we read the account of Adam and Eve and how they fell down and God blaming Adam for it.  At first, it does sound "unfair" that God laid the blame on Adam.  In fact, Romans 5:12 and 1 Corinthians 21-22 point out that it was by ADAM that death and sin came into the world.  However one must analyze Genesis 3 further to why God laid the blame on Adam and not Eve.  If one checks it out, common sense in Genesis 3 will tell us that when Satan was tempting Eve, Adam was there.  Adam had the ultimate responsibility over Eve.  That is, he was really there the whole time otherwise Eve would not immediately give the forbidden fruit to Adam.  Also, one has to notice in Genesis 2:16-17 that God told ADAM beforehand and not Eve who was yet to be formed that the Tree of Knowledge was 100% forbidden.  That is, Adam knew he had the responsibility to really stop Eve.  But instead, Adam allowed himself to be deceived and being the head of the household, the blame  really goes to

Evil Prevails When Good Christians Do Nothing!!!!

A Christian can be asked by a scoffer, "Who are you a hero? A politician? Why do you dare speak against the evils of society? Doesn't your Bible tell you not to judge?" However the reality is, these scoffers religious or atheist just do not know the whole Bible or misquote it for their own convenience. The Bible is clear that while we are to love one another, we are however NEVER to leave people in error and tell them the Gospel according to Jesus! I would be very mean if I were not using my God-given talent in proclaiming the Gospel. In fact, God called Christians to be the voice of reason to this world. God has given people different talents- and they are to be used for His glory. The church itself has the pastor, the deacons, the choir and its editorial staff- despite their differences they are united under the cause that they should voice out against evil. In fact, what was true during the days of the prophets of the Old Testament still carries the enduring truth- b

The Foolishness of Determining Doomsday

I was thinking that perhaps since it'll just be a few months and it'll be December 21, 2012 I would like to share some of my ideas.  Even some of the so-called respected Bible scholars now agree that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be on December 21, 2012.   Seriously what part of the Bible can't they understand?  I just did some Bible studies and the verses Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32 both address the Lord Jesus saying that upon the day of the Lord's second coming, NO MAN knows but the Father only.  After His crucifixion and resurrection, I began to ponder on what was said by the apostles by an unknown angel saying in Acts 1:7 that it is not for them to know the times and dates.  Even John who had the privilege to live long enough to see the Revelation of Jesus Christ and write down the Book of Revelation, he DID NOT even get the exact date of the events that will lead to the End of the World.  None of the apostles did.  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter

The Narrow Way to Life and the Broad Way to Destruction

Image
Matthew 7:13-14 - " Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Luke 13:24 - " Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." My deepest appreciation to Pastor John F. Macarthur's sermon "Which Way to Heaven?" which was preached on May 18, 1980. His sermon can be found on his website and you can hear him preach it as well. I would like to clarify these two verses. It's time to really interpret the Bible with the Bible. What is so sad that preachers like Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, John Macarthur or maybe I should mention the dead preachers like Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Billy Sunday, Arthur Pink, John Bunyan, John Calvin, Harry Allen Ironside and Estus Pirkl

The Ruining of Families in Today's Godless Society

I would like to do this rather intensive study on why the families of today are ruined. I would like to give a wake-up call to why our families are being ruined. It's a huge wake-up call I believe should be a real blast to the extremes of modernism. Please note that I DO NOT endorse the abusiveness of male chauvinism either. Chauvinism whether it'd be male or female is sinful. Now as you go through these topics, I would like to really tackle on MANY reasons why the family unit in society is getting destroyed. Plus we do have the ten planks of Communism to thank for that! As a born again Christian, I would rather follow the Bible's ways for raising a household than the "evolution" of today's society. After all the Bible says in John 15:18-19 and Romans 12:1-3 that Christians are NEVER to conform or seek approval from the world! That is, their behavior must be conformed according to the world of God, not according to worldly standards! Seriously society is

The Need for Housewives!

Image
Good Christians can definitely get berated several times by people saying they're a sexist religion and that they are promoting parasitism by insisting for the need of a full-time housewife at the home. Why do I consider the need for a full-time mother? First and foremost, the Bible ordained that Adam was to toil for the soil; Eve was to be the maker of the home and God dictated it throughout. God already ordained the responsibility of provision for the man, the woman was meant to be his help meet. When God created Eve, He took the rib from Adam and not from the head and not from the foot. The reason was according to Matthew Henry that it was for the sake of being equal. Sadly, today many are going against God’s Word and are now overdriven by the feminist movement and Communist labor system which demands women to also provide for the household financially or reversing the man-woman roles in the households. As said, when the children are born, the wife ought to

Someday The Wicked ARE Going to Fall Down!!!!

Deuteronomy 32:35 says, "To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste." With that verse, there is no way that the righteous God of the Bible ever allowed revenge... even in the Old Testament. God has taught throughout the Old and the New Testament that believers are to pray for their enemies and love them unconditionally. As said, the LORD has declared that Christians are not to commit vengeance for He in due time will inflict such people. I began to think of how many times I've been hurt, insulted and asking myself whether or not forgiveness will negate justice but it doesn't. Sometimes some people just think, "Everything is fine with me. I'm happy (and may are NOT really happy), I've got wealth, I have a good business... nothing will go wrong." especially to those living in sin. Or for corrupt politicians, well I can

Good Works by the Unsaved vs. Good Works from Authentic Faith

I remembered how I was once challenged with the idea of saying, "Well what of the atheist if they do good works? That doesn't mean they are saved are they?" Here's my entire answer and perhaps from my own mouth, "You can have works without authentic faith but not authentic faith without works." which James 2:14-18 specifies that true faith results to works and not faith plus works salvation. Saving faith is a living, dynamic faith that results to good works. Again please do not mistake James to be teaching works are necessary for salvation... NO he rather shows that works are a result of true salvation. Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, "Although we are sure that men are NOT SAVED for the sake of their works yet we are equally sure that no man will be saved without them." Notice the tense- man will not be saved by their works yet when you will be saved, you cannot be without good works. Please do not misinterpret this. So now I'd like to discuss w

Lawless Gospel is Heresy!!!!

Image
I have encountered the extremes today that people say that there is aside from teaching that a man must forsake their sins to be saved than forsaking one's sins as a result of salvation, there is the Lawless "gospel" which is an utter heresy as it preaches salvation without even exposing people to the Law of God.  Seriously speaking, man by nature is NOT basically good (Romans 3:10-23).  If man was basically good, why would in the first place God give the Law? The Bible is clear with these points on the purpose of the Law in sin revealing: Psalm 19:7 says that the Law converts the soul of the sinner.  Galatians 3:24 says that the Law is the schoolmaster that points to Christ that men may be justified by faith. Deuteronomy 31:26 says that the Book of the Law is a witness against sin.  In Romans 3:19 with the Law the whole world is GUILTY before God.  Romans 7:7-9 further explains the sinfulness of man as revealed by the Law. Galatians 2:21 the Law reveals

Materialism Won't Make You Happy

There is the issue of, "Only if I had all the riches this world has to offer I'd be the happiest man on Earth."  Quite the contrary, Ecclesiasties 5:10 warns, "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase; this is also vanity."  These days there are people who never get satisfied with what they have.  They have the mentality of "evolution" to which, one way after the other that they believe society must go forward.  Perhaps you've seen the mentality of "I want more." or have you heard of the song "Money Money Money" or Madonna's "Material Girl".  People today have really and sadly set aside God for carnal pleasures which is proof of being what Romans 3:10-19 would describe the wickedness of man, none righteous and none that seeks after God in the sinful state. Now here's a great example.  One could remember the rich young ruler who came to Jesus asking

A Review on "The Jesus You CAN'T Ignore"

Image
People today try to view Jesus as a one sided person that is all gentleness and no toughness.  That is so wrong!  When I read through Scriptures I just keep reaffirming to myself as gentle as Jesus was, there was always a tough side of Him. God wasn't always merciful, He was also just.  One has to consider the judgment God pours down on unrepentant sinners like the people of Sodom who indulged in homosexuality so often.  God though He was patient with the murmuring Israelites punished them through various ways.  Then the New Testament comes and you try to suggest to me that Jesus took that all away?  NOT A CHANCE!!!! For one fact Jesus was NO SISSY, He hates sin like His Daddy.  He didn't take away the moral law like most people think.  True the ceremonial law is gone but the moral law has NOT changed one bit.  In fact, He came to FULFILL THE LAW which no ordinary man can!  Now I began to think that people NEED to learn the tougher side of Jesus who despite His gentlenes

Charles H. Spurgeon's Battle Against Antinomianism

Surely NO person who possesses the gift of eternal salvation will EVER as a result of possessing such a wondrous gift, as a result will EVEN think for a second they can live like the rest of the world.  No way!  As said, I can say that I will not live like the rest of the world not out of the burden of obligation but rather because by the grace of God, I have my delight to do good and the inevitable result to do good (Titus 2:11-15).  Not under the Law's condemnation but by God's grace I cannot live like the rest of the world gone wrong.  Now here's pages 224-225 of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's autobiography on his battle against the sinister doctrine of Antinomianism thus hence why he is one of my favorite dead preachers with underlines by me for emphasis: I my first pastorate, I had often to battle with Antinomonians- that is, people who held that, because they believed themselves to be elect, they might live as they liked.  I hope that the heresy has to a great ex

Corrupting the Youth with "It's Okay to be A Homosexual" Agenda

It has become inconceivable how today's society is now showing it through various means of corrupting the youth and now comic book and character characters who were once heterosexual had undergone a "sex change" as of recent which straight male characters are dumped and a revision is done to make them homosexuals.  The late Estus Pirkle was right with how degeneracy has affected our media throughout the years.  Again this is NOT an agenda to kill homosexuals but rather, seeking to spread the hard truth to them that homosexuality is a sin and there is hope in Jesus Christ.  Sadly many homosexuals do consider these kinds of posts a "hate crime".  They say Christians have to be removed because they threaten the existence of humanity.  However homosexuality will really destroy society since same gender unions DO NOT reproduce by any means! Some homosexuals tell me it's wrong to judge people by their sexuality however God DID NOT create the third and fourth

Christian J. Pinto's "Lamp in the Dark"

Image
Here is one of the best documentaries ever. Please note that this is NOT a call for hatred against Roman Catholics but rather to raise awareness of the need to spread the Gospel and the truth of their history further and telling them they can be fully assured of their salvation by the Word of God ALONE. Sadly there will always be many who will continue to reject the truths revealed by the Reformers like John Huss, Martin Luther, John Bunyan, John Calvin and John Knox. Charles Haddon Spurgeon perhaps the greatest Baptist preacher that ever lived also upheld the truth of the Bible. In this documentary prepared by Christian J. Pinto he has leading Bible scholars such as David Brown, Robert Oakland, Alan O Reilly and D.A. White explain a huge chunk of the history of the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was the time of the infamous auto de fay, the Inquisition where people who refused to convert to Catholicism were being tortured in what some would call a "carnival-like atmosphere&quo
