this is whats so fd up about it all. even if it is true, you have cuckoo birds like that one there who interpret it so far out there it makes anyone who halfway believes the same concept look absolutely bat**** crazy. if there is a god he is smarter than this and has to know this is the most inefficient way to get his point across. cmon dude, work with us.
Tirk,all I have done is take the actual word back to the language it was written in.People can believe that silly apple in the garden story till the cows come home,but that doesn't make it true.Is this controversial...yes .Get a strong's concordance and a kjv bible and look up the words. Here are Christ's own words as he spoke to some of Cain's offspring,who were by this time the scribes . If you were Abrahams children you would do the works of Abraham,but you seek to kill me ,a man who has told you nothing but the truth.You are OF your father the Devil,He was a murderer from the beginning. Of here means offspring and who would happen to be that first murderer.Could that be Cain?
Where does it say that? Chapter and verse. "And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD." Genesis 4:1 "And she again bare his brother Abel." Genesis 4:2 You are really stretching The Word to make your point. Who says? Genealogy from Adam to the Twelve Tribes Adam and Eve's Posterity Well, Genesis 4:1 says otherwise (see above). You don't have to conclude. It states his heritage specifically.
Red ,this is an assumption. Cain's geneology listed starting in gen ch 4 verse 15...adam isn't mentioned....adam 's geneology begins gen ch 5 verse 1...no mention of Cain .Instead you get this verse in gen ch 4 25] And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. A wooden fruit tree has no knowledge.It grows fruit for food which Eve says We may partake of the fruit of the trees of the garden.Meaning =if there is an apple tree out here ,we can eat that,pears,plums,oranges,figs...these are all good for food.These are all wooden fruit trees...hebrew word ets ,strongs 6086...the{tree }that they were not supposed to eat from had knowledge.That word tree means backbone or spine,strongs 6096.And what would the fruit of a so called tree with a spine be?And if a woman were to partake of this fruit ,what would be the end result?A concepcion possibly...offspring? The question we need to ask here is not what kind of a tree is it?apples or oranges,etc, etc The question should be... Who is the tree of knowledge? Also check out the offspring of Cain,the Lamech on cain's side brags about killing 2 men. What a surprise... The Lamech on Adam's side is righteous,and the father of Noah
Thanks. I actually take that as a compliment coming from someone as ignorant as you. How are the things going on today any worse than slavery, the repression of women's rights, or the genocide of the American Indians? Are liberals, porn and cussin' on TV really worse than that? Every generation thinks things are going the wrong way. My grandparents generation thought that Elvis's hips were driving the world to hell.
No it isn't. You are ignoring an outright scripture that says Adam was the father of Cain in Genesis 4:1. Of course not, it's not a geneology showing ones heritage. It's a listing of the generations of Cain--his descendents. Adam has already been specifically named as the father of Cain in verse 1. That isn't a geneology. It's a listing of the generations of Adam through his son, Seth. It sheds no light whatsoever on Adam's fathering of Abel and Cain. The Bible already tells us that specifically and NOWHERE does it tell us different. None of this has anything to do with "the devil" being the father of Cain. I challenge you to show where the scripture says this, I've already shown you where it says otherwise. You are making guesses based on many false assumptions.
USM - I keep looking at your picture. I'm going to pray for you and your little ones. How can you hold him and just think that he evolved that he wasn't magically created. God knows all of us in the wombs and gives us life and freewill to live our lives. All we have to do is follow the instruction manual to return to his arms.
hes aware most here feel that way. he wants you to prove it. thats all. is that too much to ask? actually it is. so its another stalemate in a christianity debate. wow, who knew? maybe a better debate would have to begin further outside. like say, if you were born in Indonesia would you still feel the same about jesus christ as you do now. if not, why? do you think you are blessed with enlightenment simply by random chance of birthplace?
