†. Gen 6:17 . . For My part, I am about to bring the Flood-- waters
upon the earth-- to destroy all flesh under the sky in which there is
breath of life; everything on earth shall perish.
Some think the Flood was merely a local even rather than a worldwide
deluge. But that's not the way Genesis...
†. Gen 6:15a . .This is how you shall make it:
Some have objected that since paper and writing were not yet invented in
Noah's day, then God couldn't possible have provided Noah with plans to the
ark. But any pictograph, even one on a clay tablet or a rock face, qualifies as
a drawing. That...
†. Gen 6:11b . . the earth was filled with lawlessness.
Crime is pretty much the inevitable outcome in a world of sinful beings sans
law and order. Nobody was accountable for a single thing in those days. The
only rules that may have existed were those among clans or in towns. But
those rules...
†. Gen 6:8 . . But Noah found favor with The Lord.
The word for "favor" is from chen (khane) and means: graciousness.
Translators sometimes render chen as grace. It can be either grace or favor;
but the important thing is that The Lord didn't find chen with Noah. No, just
the opposite-- Noah...
†. Gen 6:5 . .Yhvh saw how great was man's wickedness on earth,
and how every plan devised by his mind was nothing but evil all the
time.
It's one thing to be guilty of an evil act. It's quite another to be infected with
an evil mind. There are some who believe that the Bible's God weighs only...
.
†. Gen 6:3a . . And the Lord said: My Spirit shall not strive with man
forever
Some translations have "abide" instead of strive. But the Hebrew word is
diyn (deen) which means: to rule; by implication: to judge (as umpire); also
to strive (as at law). It can also mean to plead the cause of...
†. Gen 6:1-2 . . Now it came about, when men began to multiply on
the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons
of God saw that the daughters of men were good; and they took
wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
The Hebrew word for "good" in that passage is towb...
“I bolt up in bed, it’s something like five o’clock in the morning. Something’s creeping around the house.
Tiptoe out into the hall. The misty gloom of early morning still cloaks the furniture in a shroud of mystery.
There it is! I hear a rustling sound again. There’s something lurking in this...
†. Gen 5:28-29 . .When Lamech had lived 182 years, he begot a son.
And he named him Noah, saying, “This one will provide us relief
from our work and from the toil of our hands, out of the very soil
which the Lord placed under a curse.”
The word for "Noah" is from nuwach (noo'-akh) and means...
†. Gen 5:10 . . After the birth of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and
begot sons and daughters.
You know, some of these guys really didn't accomplish very much. All they
seemed to do was reproduce. But the important thing is: they made a line to
Messiah and, as is the duty of patriarchs...
.
†. Gen 4:23-24 . . And Lamech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah,
hear my voice! O wives of Lamech, give ear to my speech! I have
slain a man for wounding me, and a lad for bruising me. If Cain is
avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.
Brag, Brag, Brag-- boy, I tell you some men...
†. Gen 4:20 . . Adah bore Jabal; he was the ancestor of those who
dwell in tents and amidst herds.
This is the Bible's very first mention of man-made portable shelters. Tents,
teepees, wigwams, etc; make it possible to roam long distances in relative
comfort while searching for foods and...

Criminal Psychology - A MANUAL FOR JUDGES, PRACTITIONERS, AND STUDENTS

†. Gen 4:16b . . and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
The Hebrew word for "Nod" is from nowd (node) and means: wandering,
vagrancy or exile. Precisely how Nod got its name, or where it was located is
unknown; and this is the only place in the entire Old Testament where nowd
is found so...
†. Gen 4:13 . . Cain said to the Lord: My punishment is too great to
bear!
His punishment was actually very lenient. It's true that Cain would struggle
to survive; but at least he was allowed to live. His kid brother was dead.
How is that fair?
FAQ : How did Cain get off with only a slap on...
I read the comment on a post and it got me to thinking about our Christian faith and how we are used to further other's agendas. Things I believe the Bible clearly states are wrong are used to get votes for the politicians and laws are passed that we as part of the country are forced to live...
.
†. Gen 4:9 . . Jehovah said to Cain: Where is your brother Abel? And he
said: I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?
This religious man's reaction to the object of his worship is just as
unexpected as the murder he'd just committed. Cain worshipped the true
God, and his rituals were correct...
Beneath the bravery, the heroics, the disguise.
Beneath the happiness, the veil, the lies.
In the soft and maellable, yet cold hard
So infinitely precious, yet battered and scarred.
A stream of life-giving red slowly ebbs away.
The essence of life that twas meant to stay.

†. Gen 4:5b . . Cain was much distressed and his face fell.
He was a whole lot worse than distressed. Cain was blazing mad. The word
for "distressed" is from charah (khaw-raw') and means: to glow or grow
warm; figuratively (usually) to blaze up, of anger, zeal, jealousy. Cain is
actually in a...
