Life before Adam Part 2

Life before Adam Part 1

1 In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the earth. Genesis 1:1-2.

What would you say if I told you that after Genesis 1:1; In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, there was an unknown period of time before Genesis 1:2; And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the earth? What would you say if I also told you that during that same unknown period of time, Lucifer, (Satan) ruled a kingdom here on earth, that was eventually destroyed by God, and than flooded for an unknown period of time? Do I have your attention yet? It is simply amazing at what you can learn when you begin to study the bible.

All of the information in this blog series came from the book “God’s Plan for Man” by Finis Dake. After attempting to paraphrase and type out all of the information from this blog series I decided that it would be easier to just copy the entire chapter and attach the pages as photos. I used an app on my iPhone 4 called jot not pro. This app takes pictures of documents for later reviewal. I took pictures of most of chapter 7 of “God’s Plan for Man” and that is what you will be reading. I do apologize for any difficulty in reading this series for lack of photo quality. As I said, I found this chapter completely amazing and I could not pass up an opportunity to share this information with you. This is going to be an 8 part series called Life before Adam. I will publish each part over the next 8 days. If you are interested in the Book, God’s Plan for Man, you can find it online by clicking this link. I hope that you find this as fascinating as I did, and I hope that when this series is over, you will have a better understanding of the history of our earth.

The Book of Eli-Non Spolier Blog

This blog is going to be a movie review for the movie Book of Eli, rest assured, there will be no spoilers in this blog, however I will write a separate blog that will include the spoilers for people who have seen the movie. The move takes place 30 years after the apocalypse. The main character stars Denzel Washington and his mission it to head west with a book.

I liked the movie, and the twist at the end made is that much more bind blowing. For me, it’s not so much the plot of the movie that I have been thinking about, but more about the people starring in, and the ones who made the movie. This is not meant to be a “Christian Movie,” although it has a religiously biblical plot. What do I mean? The writers in this movie and characters in the movie are most likely not Christians. I could be wrong, and I am not judging, but based on what the bible says about being a Christian, it is a fair statement.

I am going to sidetrack for a moment. The bible has been the number one best selling book in all history with about 100 million copies being sold each year, with an estimated 3-5 billion printed since it’s beginning. Some people believe in the bible and live there life by it, and others like to take the information and sell it to make money. Believe it of not, Christianity is a multi billion-dollar industry, and there are a lot of people who are in it for the money.

The book of Eli was a great movie as far as the plot is concerned, but like I said, it is not a Christian movie. There is a lot of violence, and a fair amount of profanity, but no blood so someone like my mom could watch it and not have to worry about any blood and gore. I think that Hollywood wanted to use a biblical topic to make a great movie and a lot of money, but to get people to see it, there would have to be a lot of violence and profanity to get people to watch it, which is not a Christian thing to do, not that I am holding that against them. Unfortunately, is it weren’t for that exact reason; people would most likely not have went to see this movie because that’s what people want to see these days.

There is not much more that I can say without giving away the movie, like I said I will write another blog with the movie spoiler for you to read after you see the movie. But when push comes to shove, I would definitely recommend this movie as a must see as long as you are not offended by violence and language, and false biblical teachings. Hollywood did a great job making a movie that could cater to the interests of both Christians and no believers alike.

The Book of Eli-Spolier Blog

If you have not yet seen the movie the Book of Eli, than DO NOT read this blog, this IS a spoiler blog entry. If you have seen the movie than I am interested to hear your thoughts.

Of course if you have seen the movie than you that at the end of the movie, we find out that Eli was blind and had been the whole movie, and the bible that be was carrying around was in fact written in Brail. This leads to the conversation.

If he was blind the whole movie, than how did he know so much, where to go, and where and what things were. Well, ok, obviously, he had a lot of faith, and was filled with the Holy Spirit, and was literally guided by the Spirit in every aspect of his life. With God, all things are possible Matthew 19:26. Even though this is only a movie, and movies tend to have not realistic plots, I personally believe that with enough faith Eli’s journey would be absolutely possible. Unfortunately, someone who doesn’t know the bible would not understand this and find the movie very unrealistic and unbelievable, even though that is the portrayal anyways, or is it?

It is assumed that Eli may not have blind his whole life. The movie takes place 30 years after the apocalypse, where the sun slowly gets closer and close to the earth slowly blinding everyone. So the question is was Eli blind his whole life, or become blind later on? Regardless of when he became blind, he new how to read brail. He read this bible daily for 30 years and in fast he memorized it, which is the other big surprise at the end. Could someone really memorize the Bible? The answer is yes, because Finis Dake, the author of God’s Plan for Man did in fact memorize the bible as you can read about in a previous blog. These people are of course far and few between, but it is possible.

So there are many different viewpoints of this movie. You are a Christian and see this movie and find it believable because you know the power of the Holy Spirit, or you are a Christian and despise the movie because it gives a false view of the bible and uses profanity violence which is just not a Godly thing to watch, or you are a Christian and watch the movie with an open mind, and just enjoy another good movie with some good conversation pieces at the end. At the other end of the spectrum you are a non-believer who sees the movie and don’t like it because you don’t know and haven’t experienced the power of the Holy Spirit and think that the movie is completely unbelievable, or you are an unbeliever who enjoys the movie just as it is as pure entertainment.

I liked the move a lot and would definitely see it again. I would fall into the I seen it as a Christian with an open mind and just enjoyed the movie, but I also find it believable to an extent knowing the power of the Holy Spirit, even though the movie does not follow what the bible says about end times. Hollywood did a great job making a movie that could cater to the interests of both Christians and non-believers alike.
