(Pariah;24337)
Hi Jag,If you do not mind the ongoing discussion of this topic, may I reply then?I have read Genesis 4:16-22,
and I do not see any verse declaring the descendents of Cain as specifically the "dead" lineage.And I doubt very much that Eve would call the devil, Lord.Genesis 4: 1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2And she again bare his brother Abel.... 25And 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. If we take to mean the Lord was the devil, then God was responsible for Eve being pregnant in baring Seth? In both verses, Adam knew his wife before she gave birth to Cain and to Seth. I believe Eve was "talking" about God in both verses.Job 1: 21And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.Psalm 127: 3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.Isaiah 44: 24Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb,
I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;Now unto the common belief of other races.Genesis 2 is a recap of Genesis 1. It goes into the detail of God creating man. How do we know this? Well, we know that He rested from creating after the sixth day in Genesis 1. But yet at the beginning of Genesis 2, we see a continuation in regards to the creation of the Garden of Eden. That is what throws everyone off into thinking the creation of Adam was a seperate event, until they read this verse.Genesis 2: 3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew:
for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. So one wonders.. what? I thought we were passed the seventh day? This is what I mean by recap. It goes back again and went into detail about the creation of man.Genesis 2: 6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. If you compare verse 6 with five, verse 6 is explaining what God had done to take care of the planet when man was not created yet to till the ground. So this is why Genesis 2 is a recap of more going into details of Genesis 1 in what happened when God created man.(thesuperjag;24324)
Mark 12:27 - He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
In context, Jesus was declaring how those that have deceased are still living. That is what He meant. It is not a reference to Cain nor his descendents. Jesus was debunking that there was no resurrection. These Sadduccess that believed it posed the question even though they did not believe in the resurrection. It was asked in mocking the issue of the resurrection to show how silly it was, but they failed.Matthew 22:
23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27And last of all the woman died also. 28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. Sometimes it is best to see the cross references from the other four Gospels to get the full meaning of some of these verses.I love ya in Christ, Jag!!
Are we going to leave out Satan, for he has had sex with Eve...? (Genesis 3:13, II Corinthians 11:3) Adam participate in that "fruit" and strongly committed a threesome. (Genesis 3:6) And God can not create the law of sin...for He instructed Adam to stay away from Satan... (Genesis 2:16-17) ...yet Eve knew t too, but misquoted what God said. (Genesis 3:2-3) He did create Satan who became evil, way long before this Earth Age (Second, yet Flesh Age) There is no Darkness in Him, for only He can dwell in the Light. To live in darkness is to live in evil, we know that sin is evil. We are to hate it. (Psalm 97:10)It is clear that Cain had a personality just like Satan, for Cain is the main seedline of Satan. He shewed no repentance whatsoever, killed his
half-brother, banished from the face of the Earth, away from Adam and his mother Eve in Genesis 4. All the characteristics that Cain has from Satan...He does not even serve Him, nor does his childrens served Him, but Satan...therefore his lineage is
DEAD. They did kill Yahshua on the cross did they not?Genesis 2 is not Genesis 1 recap, but in progression of the story, the same can be said in Genesis 3 and Genesis 4 etc...God created this special man... (Genesis 2:7) ... This special...THE MAN (Genesis 2:8) and formed Eve later... (Genesis 2:21-23)Here take a look at these YELLOW letters and see if you can see the difference...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.Genesis 2:23 -
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.Jag
