We read in the bible the story of Adam and Eve - a story so ancient we can only theorize the origins. We do know it was worth recording in the scriptures. Adam was supposedly of superior intellect able to categorize all the plants and animals. He had knowledge of animal husbandry, preservation and survival in a jungle of vegetation in a garden atmosphere. Where did Adam gain all this knowledge - he was not raised as a child , there were no schools or humans before him. Adam was not a computer or android because he had free will was not programmed. It was said in Genesis Adam had conversations with God but where did he learn Gods language or was it a transmitted thought directly to his mind.
It may seem strange when the bible states in Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. This can be understood in new covenant times, since Enoch , Abraham and many have spoken to God in ancient times and God had also spoken through the prophets. Hebrew 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets- God also speaks through angels-Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? We read of the Angel of the Lord whom spoke to Hagar about giving birth to Ishmael also to Abraham of his promises to his descendents. In psalms it is written God speaks from his dwelling place.
The notion that God no longer speaks from his dwelling place or does not use prophets today is only perceived by those who believe God left us in apostolic times. God is the same today , yesterday and forever, he still speaks from His dwelling place. He still walks with us and sends angels to minister to his people. Some believe God only uses the written word and that is all in their capacity to understand. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.
It is my belief Adam was a spiritual person of God before he fell into sin. He therefore had knowledge imparted as he had the need, he was not given permission to eat directly from the tree of knowledge. There is a reason for this because knowledge imparted by God is used for good, knowledge obtained otherwise can be used for evil. It is like atomic power it can destroy or be used in peaceful means to supply energy. Medicine can be abused and destroy us or used in healing. There are multitudes of such examples of knowledge used for the right holistic value or abused.
I will say this God will speak from His dwelling place, the Holy Spirit is God. He will speak from those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. He also has recorded in scripture writings by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. My belief has always been God is Love, Hope and Forgiveness leading to Word , Thought and Deed. The Word will lead us just like in Revelations 19:11-13 where the rider on the white horse was the Word soaked in blood. In the book of Isaiah it explain his blood being spilled over us , like a wine press. From the old testament to the new the theme is the same God's Word would become flesh and was alive in the person of Jesus Christ. We are to carry on message as the Holy Spirit dwells in us.
