		<description>I took a look at it. Looks like you have a good handle on it so far. I can&#039;t help much on the ANE stuff other than what I find in my commentaries and lexicons. I&#039;ll be keeping watch to see if the thread develops. I may even pop in and join!</description>

		<description>Thanks. I think that does help. He&#039;s a student at Fuller and he&#039;s bringing in some ANE stuff into the discussion. I might add, you can see it on my Facebook page. It happened yesterday morning.</description>

		<description>Stephen:

I agree. It is way past time for some of these topics to be tackled and a stand to be taken, instead of merely leaving it in the air for discussion. Worse still, that pastors and other office bearers in denominations such as the PCA can believe in views that contradict their own confession of faith (WCF) on important issues such as the Creation account.</description>

		<description>Frank!,

As in an &quot;official&quot; response? Not that I know of. Depending on the context of your discussion with your friend, you can make some arguments from these passages that affirm Adam as a literal person:

Gen 5:3 - When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

1 Chron. 1:1 - Adam, Seth, Enosh;

Luke 3:38 - the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Rom. 5:12-21 (esp. 14) - Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

1 Cor. 15:22 - For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

1 Tim. 2:13 - For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

Jude 14 - It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,

Deut 32:8 literally says, “Sons of Adam” (although most translations - mankind) - When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he divided *mankind* (ESV) [when he divided the sons of Adam]

I hope this helps...</description>

		<description>Question, has anyone responded to Longman? I&#039;m going to respond to a friend from Fuller who agree&#039;s with him. It&#039;s a thing we started talking about on Facebook. I&#039;m looking to what Waltke has to say.</description>
