Verse by verse bible study les feldick11/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It was in Adam that all of us inherited our sin nature! We’re not sinners because we have done something wrong, but rather we’re sinners first and foremost because we’re sons of Adam. This is all because of what had happened to Adam, and we’ve been emphasizing that for the last several weeks, how that Adam was the Federal head of the human race. So by the time the semester ended these kids were ready for a test having freshly reviewed what they had learned nine weeks earlier.Īnd I think that has helped me in my Bible classes also, as a lot of times I have to apologize for reviewing something, but every time I do, someone will come up to me after class and say, “Well this is the first time I saw that.” So I’m trying not to apologize for reviews, so let’s go back to the Book of John chapter 3. Instead of teaching a segment of higher mathematics for a week and go on to something else, all through the semester he would be constantly be going back and reviewing. ![]() ![]() But do you know what it amounted to? He was constantly reviewing. They were wondering how in the world he was getting these kids to learn math to the place they were scoring so much better than the national average. I always have to remember that a couple of years ago, the academic community was all shook up by a mathematic professor here in Oklahoma, and if I remember correctly it was at Rose Junior College in Oklahoma City where he had all of a sudden taken average mathematic students and had raised their testing level sufficiently so that all of education all across the country was taking note of it. Then in our last lesson we went to John’s gospel, chapter 3, and we might want to look at it again, because the name of the game for any kind of education is repetition and review. Now Adam didn’t die until he was 930 years old, but the moment he ate, the seeds of death entered and he began to die, but remember he immediately died spiritually. Then we showed that when Adam ate, immediately his spirit died and lost fellowship with his Creator, and his body also began to die. So we see man is a makeup of body, soul and spirit. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,…” And for those of you who are super critical, I realize that the soul and the spirit are so closely intertwined that we usually think of both of them as the same, but the Scripture does separate the soul and spirit, as well as the body. Now I’ve put the three circles back on the board as we had a few lessons back, only for illustration purposes. He knew what she has already done, so his decision was based with regard to her, and without regard to the Creator, and he ate willfully, and disobeyed that revealed will of God!Īlso in our last lesson we closed with the fact that when Adam sinned, immediately he died spiritually. But then along comes Adam, and he has to decide whether to eat or not. Eve was caught in a moment of weakness, and before she even realized what she had done, she had eaten. In other words Adam was in a totally different state of mind than Eve. “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” And when he came on the scene, he knew what she had done, and as the New Testament tells us: If you remember we emphasized the fact that Adam was evidently absent when Eve partook of the forbidden fruit. Now if you remember where we left off the last time we were together, we had just watched Adam partake of the forbidden fruit, knowing that he was up against a choice that he had to make. ![]()
