And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth,...[/b]Note: NU-Text omits blood.There is more, but this should be enough. No need to elaberate. Just take it as it is stated.-----------Acts 17:24 "God That made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;"The God that Paul is introducing to these Greeks, their unknown God, was the creator of all things, and it is He that controls both the heaven and what happens on the earth. Man has always wanted to make God a house, where they can confine him, and then they can try to control Him to be subject to them. How can you make God a House, when He is everywhere. Paul is telling these men that God does not dwell in buildings that are made with men's hands.Acts 17:25 "Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;"God owns everything and he there is nothing that God needs. God controls everything, and He gives life where He wants that life to be. Acts 17:26 "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;"It is time to sharpen up, and pay attention to Paul. First of all, the word "blood" as used here is not in any of the original manuscripts, and even some of the more liberal translators caught this translation. The Word "one" is in reference to the dust of the earth that Adam was formed from. In the Greek it is "heis" and sometimes translators use the form "tis" which changes the meaning completely. This word blood is just not there, for God created all the races just as they are, kind after their kind. God created all the races on the sixth day, and on the seventh day, He rested. In Genesis 1:26 it was on the sixth day; "And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." "Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female created He them." This is all the races, except Adam, meaning "ruddy complected".Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."Then after God rested on the seventh day, on the eight day God created, as it is written in the Hebrew, " `eth-`Ha`adham" which is to say "the man". That man is who we call "Adam". Adam was created for a purpose, even though all the other races did exist before him.When was incest made sin? That's the basis for your question right? That incest was always sin and therefore man's origin could not be from Adam and Eve alone? Read the scripture that I posted above. It clearly shows the origin of all manking to be Adam and Eve. Even if we cannot yet reason it out in our minds from scripture, that's still no reason to rewrite the plain teaching of what we do know. I'm sure this won't be the first time for any of us to need to trust that God is righteous, Holy and true. Take text as it reads and seek to clarify through context. If scripture gives us a valid reason to take another look, then we will. Until then, take it as it reads.Incest is an asumption a guess Why would God go to all the trouble to create a special line for Christ to come through go to all the troubl;e to protect it and oh duh he forgot there was no others to marry. Incest was always against Gods Laws his law and the Word existed first. He would not break his own Word whether humans understood it yet or not.this is common sense. Incest theroy is ignorance. To follow you line of reason why didnt God just say Seth married his sister.or does that just work for you when something doesnt fit? futher more why doesnt God just say oh yeah and I changed the law of nature so that all this inner breading wouldn't cause birth defects. Even though this changes nothing Christ still came through Adam and Eve you will hang on to what men say without any proof.I said ruddy/white based on observation of the skin color of the hebrews and as a commit in passing to explain the word, as this word Adam used here, is a different hebrew word than Adam in other verses of Genesis futher more if it the word has an article w/it it changes the meaning just like in English when we would say "those men" or "that man" mean differnt things so it is with Hebrew. And as far as your ideas of evolution for the races any Genic scientist will tell you natural evolution of the races is a joke there still hasnt been enough time pass to complete such a thing and if that were true why dont eskimo's have thick skin or fur to protect them from the cold. Again common sense God gave us a brain for a reason.So you belive in evolution when it fits your purpose? And then believe in creation when it fits? So God could create all except the races because it doent fit your ideas so therefore evolution must be the answer of course its not in Gods word word but hey it allows you to believe men. I say God created All including the races and with all he was pleased. And as far as the 1000 years thats just plain Gods word if you choose to read some man made thing into it fine by me. Again common sense all science can not be wrong. seems you to choose which men to believe and not believe.
