Dr. Henry Morris, founder and president emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research and the father of the modern creationist movement (especially with The Genesis Flood, which he co-authored in the early 1960s) had in recent days suffered a series of debilitating small strokes, and passed into the presence of his Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday evening (February 25).
Dr. Morris, 87, had been receiving care in a San Diego area convalescent hospital. According to his son, Dr. Henry Morris III (Executive Vice President of the Institute for Creation Research), the elder Dr. Morris remained cogent and alert up until the last few moments. My brother John (President of ICR), my sister Mary, and my sister Rebecca were with him just prior to his passing.
In a note emailed late Saturday night to ICR board members and friends of the family, Dr. Morris III shared that Dad has had a wonderfully full life, much blessed by our Lord, and we are rejoicing and celebrating his well done now in the presence of his Lord.
Ken Ham, president of Answers in GenesisUSA and co-founder of Answers in GenesisAustralia, wrote to AiG leadership that
Dr. Morris is one of my heroes of the faith. He is the man the Lord raised up as the father of the modern creationist movement. The famous book The Genesis Flood, co-authored by Dr. Morris and Dr. Whitcomb, was the book the Lord used to really launch the modern creationist movement around the world. It was the first major creation book I read, and had a special place, therefore, in the beginnings of the creationist movement in Australia. Our prayers are with the family. Please pray for the family, the staff of the Institute for Creation Research, and for all those whose lives continue to be changed by the many books and articles authored by this great man of God during his long and productive life.

I don't know if they were 2 separate races of men. Since they intermarried I suspect not. However, the Adam of the Jewish scriptures is to be understood as God's special creation, unlike the others. He was given the special capacity of having spiritual knowledge. He was a new man. Today, in Christ, we too are a special creation, new men. I know it sounds complicated but it isn't really.
I have heard that Melchizedek is not believed to have been a normal man. Do you know any of the basis for this?
Yes, Christians see im as a type of the pre-incarnate Christ, mostly because of the verse in the book of Hebrews that says Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchisadek
him
7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
7:2
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
7:3
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually
. 7:4
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
YHWH = LORD
Adonai = Lord
Why would you think the Lord only refers to the Father. YHWH = LORD Adonai = Lord
The Lord Jesus Christ is called 'Jehovah' (YHWH) in Rev.1:8.
Check out an Hebrew New Testament and the NWT!
Not at all.
See Rom.10:13 where Paul quotes from Joel 2:32, referring to believing in Christ for salvation.
Joel uses 'Jehovah' for that verse, as does the Hebrew New Testament and NWT.
Ofcourse, in the Greek, the word is 'Kurios' Lord, as it is correctly translated in the King James.
I don't think Pat wants to play today....
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
"The Bible is worth all other books that have ever been written."
Patrick Henry

Not quite...
Men ARE spirits: they HAVE bodies!
Not if you are going to believe what the BOOK says.
Both written with axes to grind.
NWT
No, that is an incorrect translation.
Why are you deadposting, Elsie?
Huh?
Is this anything like deadvoting?
It means commenting on a very old thread.
