Because God created a universe governed primarily by free will, the risk inherent in freedom has manifested itself in the emergence of evil as a force to be reckoned with by good. We are all born into a cosmic battlefield, and God is in the process of conquering evil by the only power powerful enough to do it: love.

  • God did not give Adam the earth that He so created, God gave Adam dominion of the earth Genesis 1:26). What God created He did not give away. If He gave it away why would His plan for salvation for mankind be made prior to the Lord’s coming in the flesh to redeem the world and humanity (John 1:14; Exodus 3:8-10)? Doing a word study on the meaning of the word dominion is important because it gives an understanding of Adam’s position over what God created and the dominion given. Dominion means, the right to govern or rule or determine (Volcabulary.com), also, the dominion of something gives the steward wisdom and spiritual power. Therefore, looking at the spiritual meaning of dominion is not ownership or control, but is all about stewardship and caretaking of the earth. I don’t believe God would create something so important and give it away and then walk away. It was about giving man responsibility over the glory of all that He made. The bad part of Adam relinquishing the earth and his dominion/stewardship to Satan when He fails and sin is then introduced onto the earth.

  • Deep and fascinating conversations. You guys have the Holy Spirit around this table – sitting in the fifth chair – blessing and architecting these conversations. I’m learning a lot. Thank you and God bless!

  • God is beautiful! Awesome! The merchandise of satan is his deception of the character, government and love of God! Misrepresentation of who God is, hiding as light projecting darkness!

    The Word of God is truly alive! Thank you for sharing this truth through Table Talk!
