1. What Happened? – HopeSS Video Discussion — 1 Comment

  1. In Genesis 2:18 the Lord God said “ it is no good for Man to be a separate branch I will make him a helper”

    The word “alone” H905 in Gen 2:18 can be translated “branch” as in John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. “

    The word “helper” H5828 is exclusively used for God as helper, and never used for human helper.

    Therefore the meaning of Genesis 2:18 is: Man is created with a futile power of reasoning good from evil, and futile power of applying his will to do good, Rom 8:20 “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,”

    In Gen 2:18 God branches off Eve from Adam, and in the body of Eve is the seed of the incarnate Messiah, the “seed of the women”.

    Eve is the mother of humanity in its fallen state, and the mother of the embodied Messiah, events that follow the branching off of Eve from Adam are inevitable.

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
