Love as a Foundation of Unity
- Was love built into Adam and Eve or did it have to be developed?
- Were Adam and Eve created virtuous or merely innocent? What does it mean that they were created perfect? How could perfect humans fail?
- At what point did disunity enter, at the fall, before, or after?
The Consequences of the Fall
- How did Adam and Eve learn to blame someone else?
- Could Adam and Eve have defended themselves without blaming anyone else?
- How did sin influence the relationship between Cain and Abel?
Further Disunity and Separation
- What makes people launch out as pioneers in new lands? Why did the people not spread out after the flood?
- How could the people forget God after such a major event as the flood?
- How else could God have dispersed people besides confounding their language? What made the assault on language ideal for His purpose?
Abraham, Father of god's People
- Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God?
- Can it be argued that not all Adventists worship the same God?
- Why could Abraham's sons and Isaac's sons not remain united like Jacob's sons? Do two sons have a harder time getting along than a dozen?
God's Chosen People
- Why did God keep starting with one person at a time (Adam, Noah, Abraham), rather than with a group of people?
- What qualities in Abraham attracted God? What weaknesses did he have? Did those have to be overcome, or did some remain till the end?
- What makes Adventists believe that they are a chosen people, the remnant?
