Perhaps I’m excessively literal, but that suggests to me the rest of the world wasn’t necessarily part of the garden. The picture I have is of people starting in the garden for a little practice and examples (e.g. dogs) and then advancing into a wild world with real opportunities and real dangers, subduing it to the glory of God while finessing the dangers like a sailboat before the storm. They find ways to tame and use the hawk and thorns, and treat tornadoes as a toreador does a bull. Who’d bother with roller coasters in a world like that?<br /><br />All that is unfruitful speculation–that world is long lost and I believe God’s “fallback” plan will prove better, even though it doesn’t feel like it now.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.com
