It took the fear..
He saw Jesus with outstretched hands.
He saw his dad who had died 2 yrs before. He saw my mother..who died when I was 4.. talked to them..and my grandmother, who he loved so much.
How did they know to be where he was.
When he came to, he was in a daze, he had wanted to be right and convince himself the Bible was written by man,. Not the Holy Word. That visit blew his own interpretations.
He saw the Holy Savior of mankind.

So because of his experience, your son became a Christian and was saved? I think Jesus wants all of us to be saved. Score one for our side.

Don't know but as for me time is going swiftly by. As a child every Christmas always seemed years away. Now time is fleeting.

...at least those folks knew exactly what to look forward to.

Houston - we have a problem.



 But as it is written: 

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, 
Nor have entered into the heart of man 
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 

1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV

I can relate. The older I get the quicker the months and years seem to go by.

Look how long (and how much TIME we’ve spent!) on FR!

Seems like yesterday when I first entered the fray in these forums; but it’s been over 20 years!

Great memories. I lurked from just before 2000 and made my first post a few years later.

It is a great question. why two stories? Or are they happening at the same time? Humans in 1 were created, and Adam was molded out of the earth?

But then if we believe the story of Noah...then all those other humans were wiped away in the flood. But if Adams sons took them as wives, that DNA persists.

So many questions that the text does not seem to reveal.

why two stories?

Each one looked at GOD's work thru differing viewpoints.

We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus (Ep 2:10). There are two creations. We are created in Adam and we are create in Christ. According to the rule of 1 Corinthians 15:46, the natural man will have his day first (Gen 1) and the spiritual man must wait. (Gen 2). Note the second account in Genesis 2, Adam was already there and Eve was taken from his side. This is Christ and the Church
