Q. Did JESUS talk to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? (Submitted by: Lilo) A. The question should be: Was it God or the Word who talked to Adam and Eve, since it was the Word (Greek: λόγος or Logos, Strong's Concordance Number #G3056) who became Jesus Christ, approximately four thousand years later? There is an abundance of evidence that the One who became Jesus was the Lord of the Old Testament. Let's examine the following scriptures: "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last . . . '" (Isaiah 44:6, NKJV throughout) " . . . and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was CHRIST. " (1Corinthians 10:4) So far the evidence is that "the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer", of the first Scripture was the same person as "that spiritual Rock that followed them . . . CHRIST. " Additionally, we read in Revelation 1:11, " . . . I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last . . . " which is also stated in Isaiah 44:6. The first verse of Revelation 1 discloses that Jesus is the subject, the Revelator, and He says that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. The most conclusive and unmistakable Scripture comes, again, from Jesus' own testimony: "No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." (John 1:18) The answer is that it was the Word, who later became Jesus Christ, that walked and talked with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. I hope you will continue in the pursuit of God's Truth. |
