No, he is not making a distinction. It is what is known in Hebrew as a Parallelism. In this case it is same thing repeated in different terms. It is a form of Hebrew poetry. Has made her wilderness like Eden is repeated in the same verse in a parellel structure: "and her desert like the garden of Jehovah;" It is called a synonomous parallel and is one of three common Hebrew parallel structures that occur in Scripture. I am sorry, but they are not. They are simply to different ways of referencing the same place. Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan in the garden of eden. They ate of the forbidden fruit.. All men then therefore, were destined to die with no hope. When Christ died on the cross, all of that changed, now we can believe and be saved, confessing, and growing in the spirit of Christ Jesus, having salvation to live for eternity. Today, people will still be tempted by satan, his ways end in eternal death. Satan still tempts people, even though we are not, in the garden of eden. BUT JESUS SAID, " I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD, I WILL BE WITH YOU UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD "

thankyou for this, i was just thinking about it today. there are so many unanswered questions, to us, not soon enough, to God, He knows, when to reveal, and what to do. So thats why its important to ask for His guidance everyday , and those who can hear, let them hear, and trust and obey. Let love be our greatest aim......

Bless you for the desire to find out what is right or wrong............... 1. noone here on earth is perfect-but we look forward towards that day 2. If i am correct, Jesus said, anyone taking part at drunken parties, will not enter into the kingdom of heaven 3. He didnt say you cannot get drunk by yourself......but i wouldnt recommend it. 4. Jesus also said to be careful with alcohol, " Many evils are amongst that path " ***************** 5. What would we think if Jesus got drunk? 6. i think He could handle alcohol He is perfect....we arent yet....tolerance levels change ...and you may want more...and more.. and ..........He wants us to be an example to others............ 7. If a person doesnt have a problem with alcohol, an occasional drink is ok, but , if you are having it around a christian, and it bothers them, then i would have it elsewhere.........*****
