Very interesting. I’ve never thought of that as being possible. But clearly, I can’t remember the Bible saying Adam did instruct her either. Very interesting theory to consider. Thanks!

Lesson 18

We learned how to do the theological method in this chapter. This method seems like it could possibly be pretty intense also. It seems to me that it coukd possibly be very lengthy. However, Im sure that there would be a lot of good indormation to take away from the study making it a huge help in studying.

There are so many people in the Bible that I would like to take the time to really study deeply. And I love that this class gives a method…

I’m not sure that I’ve ever heard that. I’ve always been told that it’s God’s Plan and we can’t see the reasons we may suffer or the good that suffering may bring. So it’s good to know that sometimes it’s satan and that not all suffering is caused by God.

Lesson 15

This chapter explained how to do a study on a single word. I can see how this method of study would be helpful not only with studying the bible but also with any other thing we may rwad when we come actoss a word that isnt understand. I can see how out vocabulary can be deepened with using this word study often.
