Genesis is historical... (!?!) It is!

The Bible explains how Adam's sin-nature is passed on to us. Sin corrupts our bodies and our world by dividing us from good and uniting us to evil. Scripture shows how we can overcome sin through unity with God and godly people.

The first thing that clued me in on the truth of Genesis, was Jesus' use of the text as literal facts. (Matthew 19:3-9) We inherit sin from Adam, because we are all part of him. We are also part of the classroom of life, in whatever condition it is handed down to us by our predecessors. (Exodus 20:5)

God was Adam's Father. The earth was Adam's mother. (Genesis 2:7, Isaiah 51:1-2, Romans 8:22) Eden was man's first classroom. The goal of this classroom was to teach us how to love. God's flawless, delightful love is what makes Him eternal.

From Adam, God made Eve. She was one with Adam and given back to Adam in a more helpful capacity. They were still one. This is the ultimate goal of our eternal lessons; they teach us how to remain one with God and one another.

The thing that destroys unity is sin. Sin doesn't cause God to abandon us, Sin is an act of abandoning unity with God and man in favor of oneself. Once sin was in the world, Adam and Eve began covering themselves from one another, and hiding from God. (Genesis 3:8-10) Division from God, who is love, results in death. (1 John 4:7-8, Romans 6:23, Jeremiah 3:19)

Sin added new lessons to our classroom. We were no longer fit for Eden. We learned about the problems we'd given God with our sin. Adam's lesson required more of his labor to make the earth produce good things. This gave humanity God's perspective. Our deviation from unity made it hard for God to make us produce good behavior. Eve's lesson required her to experience more pain to bear children. This reflects how we made God's work to deliver us from spiritual darkness more painful for Him. Our offenses against God and the earth change our environment to fit our need. Our lessons give us wisdom to see why sinful behavior cannot be part of eternity. Proverbs 30:17. Any logic we hold that does not promote eternal life is unsustainable, and therefore sin.

According to ancient Hebrew wisdom, you and I are living in the last age. We live in a world where our classroom has changed so much that Eden is hardly imaginable. A world without death is imaginable, but only for the elite. Even if we could live forever by the power of technology, without love, it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Thankfully, our heavenly Father is still teaching us. We still begin life helpless. This connects us to our parents through our conscience. This is how God implants in every person the value of compassion for the weak. We each know, deep down that we owe our lives to a helpful higher power. If we are thankful, we want to emulate our helpful higher power while we can. We can ask God for His Holy Spirit of truth and love. (Luke 11:9-13) Then we nurture His Spirit within us by a steady diet of His good logic in the Bible. (1Peter 2:2) This gives our heavenly Father influence in our lives, so He can empower us to help others. (Acts 10:44) In this way, we will overcome the lies of the enemy, and the world. (1John 4:4)

To overcome sin, we need only to reunite with God and one another. Compassionate love is the answer to our struggle against sin. We can ask for God's compassionate love to free us from temptation. We can also pay that love forward by helping the weak and needy. When we do these things, Eden is reborn in our hearts.

Closing thoughts -

1 Corinthians 10:13

"No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. With the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, so that you may be able to bear it."

"When I don't have an ounce of strength left in me to withstand a temptation, I remember this simple prayer; "Lord, Your word promises there is a way out of this, but I don't see it. Please show me the way." Our merciful Father has never failed to deliver on this promise. Our God is a God of miracle-working power.

John 17:21
"I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me."

It's so easy to accidentally give the world and the flesh more air-time than God and family. Setting aside time for God is the healthiest thing a person can do for their life. Reconnecting with our spiritual family is our second priority. So much of what we are tempted with, is only troubling us because we forget what's real and what matters. A spiritual diet that is high in truth and love will keep you satisfied. That way spiritual junk food doesn't have as much appeal.

May truth and love light our way!

Curious about #homeschooling ? Join me this Saturday as I share my experience.

Since I share my homeschooling journey in public, few people have asked me to have a session to share my experience.

​In this session, I will share my journey - why I decided to #homeschool my kids, my learning, our schedule, and so on. I will also answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

​If you are curious about homeschooling, this event is for you.

Register here: https://lu.ma/39oa10oe

I don't really post on #Homeschool ing issues much - everyone's experience is different and we've navigated in our own way (for 9yrs).

One common concern though is social interaction - perceived lack (compared to school) and effects. To that I'll note 1) that not all interactions in school are positive, and 2) that kids will (and do) find a way to engage with their tribe. They may not have too many friends from when little but will come across later others who share interests and values.

We'd love some advice from homeschoolers on Mastodon:

Our resources for teaching with films are free for everyone, and several of the films are available to stream for free as well. We would love to connect with homeschoolers here but we haven't found the hashtags yet that make that happen.

If you are a homeschooler, could you please recommend hashtags that are used in the homeschooling community? We'd really appreciate your help. Thank you!

My 6 yr old does YouTube videos, I know he should use a better platform but… anyways he was looking for ideas for a new Minecraft creative build, so I suggested a purple ostrich. His channel is at https://youtube.com/@bbwildgamer?si=tlycC545NFVTdt4Y

And I’ll share the video when he’s done

A Majority Of US Teachers Are Failures.

Fuck teachers, perhaps they need to start studying the US Constitution in detail and earnestly. Anyway, in any other world, except in this world governed by evil clowns, they would be looking for jobs that best suit their IQ. They have failed the young minds of this nation and they shouldn't be allowed to infect anymore minds with their pointless insanity. 


It has been said, that one cannot judge books by their covers. However, I think it is fine to judge them by their actions. These alleged teachers blame guns for the acts of criminals, therefore, it may be fair to blame teachers, these teachers for the failures of their charges, their students, for being incredibly stupid, lazy and uninspired.
