I can't believe you're accusing me of dodging questions. LOL!!
As I said before, the Jesus character did have the full measure but nowhere does it specifically say that Adam or Eve did.
It is clear that there are a lot of things that you don't believe...including many about yourself.
Obviously, you haven't studied the Hebrew text of the OT nor the Aramaic text of the NT.Uhh, that simply means presence of this god moving from place to place in order to renew the face of the earth because it was in chaos. It says nothing about this spirit indwelling Adam and Eve and it says nothing about it existing in full measure.
Another thing is, if what you're claiming is true, then you're indirectly saying that Adam and Eve committed the unpardonable sin.
...
You just proved my earlier point, that the spirit moved about only to recreate, not indwell. Nowhere does it say that Adam was offered the holy spirit.
Adam was only given dominion over the animal kingdom and physical things. You said it right there in bold print but you then add your own interpretation to include spiritual dominion which was not the case.
The verses you quoted say nothing about being given dominion over anything spiritual.
...
Your address has some serious flaws. Where did it SPECIFICALLY say that Adam was given the holy spirit? Nowhere. You're reading a lot into verses that say nothing about him ever being given the holy spirit.
In the new testament, there are clear and irrefutable verses showing that the Jesus character received the full measure of the holy spirit. Nothing even close to this is mentioned in the old testament as it relates to Adam.
Just because a spirit exists in an environment doesn't mean that it dwells within the person IN that environment.
John 14:17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.It's like the Jesus character said in the new testament when addressing the disciples, "that the holy spirit dwells WITH you but shall be IN you. Dwelling "with" versus dwelling "in" are two different meanings.
It is also where your ignorance of Messiah, who He is and what He means becomes blatantly apparent to even the most casual of Christian believers.Please explain how one can shut off his spiritual authority as being god while being a physical human being. If he was fully man, he couldn't have been fully god. If he was fully god, he couldn't have been fully man. It's one or the other.
This is where fictional tales begin to rear it's head in the new testament.
John recorded it like this...
John 1:1-3 KJV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
...
John 17:1-8 KJV
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
It is clear that you don't believe those things. Whether or not you or I believe it does not change its truth.
As far as the Jesus character being able to sin, he could've sinned (I presume eventhough according to the bible he was god...and it does say, "god cannot sin") and why? One reason is because he had the full measure of the holy spirit as his helper in addition to the claims that he was supposedly the same god who created this satan in the first place. If he created this satan and existed for ALL eternity, one would presume that he had a clear advantage over this satan just as he did over Adam.
Adam was at a clear disadvantage either way nevertheless he was still cursed for being created weaker.
There seems to be just speculation here.
