Cain married one of his relatives such as a sister, niece or grand niece etcetera. Adam and Eve’s and their offspring (Genesis 5:4) were very close to human perfection; therefore, children of such marriages evidently did not pose the health risks as may be today. Later, God’s Law to the...

The speaker is Isaiah. However, the parts that are in quotations are Almighty God's words. Isaiah, filled with Holy Spirit, was inspired and directed to repeat/quote God's words.-Isaiah 48:16b, 17.

If we are determined to do good and treat others well, we will not be harsh critics, always looking for a figurative straw in our brother’s eye. Instead, we will acknowledge that we are imperfect and should therefore avoid being judgmental and critical of our fellow believers.

Good questions. Based on my limit knowledge, I would believe that they did not have navels (belly buttons). It seems to me that the trees would have rings because vegetation was created before Adam.

Absolute zero! The Bible does not specify the length of each of the creative periods-in a measurable way for humans to understand. Yet, only six of them have ended. (Genesis 1:31) However, with respect to the seventh day, God proceeded to rest. This indicates that this “day” has continued...

At the time that this part of the Mosaic Law was given, the Israelites were either among or about to enter pagan lands. In such pagan lands, it was a common practice to brand or tattoo slaves as an identity of ownership. In some lands, the people underwent an idolatrous practice of putting a...

By commanding that Moses remove his sandals constituted an act of respect-not because there was something unique about the ground that constituted it holy, but because of God’s presence. Later, the priests performed their duties at the tabernacle and the temple (holy places) barefooted...

The standard God set for man and woman was monogamy. The term “one flesh” is symbolic but emphasizes the intimacy and permanence of the marital union. Such bonds were not temporary and there was no mention of divorce or separation. Furthermore, sexual relations outside the union were...

I agree with the suggestion of "paraphrasing" that scripture in the sense to achieve a correct and proper understanding. Your pastor's understanding does not seem to support other scriptures. Today, there are many Christians that live idolatrous societies (righteously not sinless); and, do not...

In support of you definitions, the Hebrew letter yohdh is the smallest of the Hebrew alphabet. Correspondingly, the Greek letter iota is the smallest of the Greek alphabet. Since the Law of Moses was originally written and subsequently preserved in Hebrew, it is likely that Jesus was referring...

The prophet Elisha was bald and that did not make him bad/evil.

The name “Lucifer” is a translation from a Hebrew word that means “shining one”-possible a Latin word for light giver. “Satan’’ means resister and “Devil” means slanderer. The name for Satan, Devil, wicked one (John 17:15; 1 John 5:19), god of this system (2 Corinthians 4:4), “original serpent”...

“’Babylon’ the Great, the mother of the harlots…” is symbolic of the world empire of false religion (not a physical woman); and, this identity is evident in more than two scriptures. Revelation 17:1: “waters” is identified in Rev. 17:15. Revelation 17:22: “fornication” is referring to...

Many theologians and religions adamantly have long dismissed any suggestion that the resurrection of the unrighteous may include those who commit suicide. As far as the ones who took their own lives, we humans cannot judge as to whether they will get a resurrection or not. I am only aware of...

These “bowls of the anger of God” are similes. They are not to be understood as literal. The symbolism here is that most of the human family whom symbolically inhabit the “sea,” is spiritually dead; thus alienated from God. Compare: Isaiah 57:20, 21; Matthew 22:32; Ephesians 2:1; Romans 6:11-13...

I see your point about my post. Work-with limitations-is not restricted on the Sabbath (old covenant) any longer because of Christ's sacrifice established a new covenant. Compare: 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:14; Hebrews 8:6, 8; 9:15; 12:24.

The Sabbath ended with Christ's sacrifice. Work on the Sabbath is not a requirement.

Reconsider Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31. These creative days ended. With respect to the seventh day, God proceeded to rest. This indicates that this “day” has continued. (Genesis 2:1-3) Thousands of years later, Paul indicated that the seventh day has not concluded. At Hebrews 4:1-11 he...

I totally agree!

The Antichrist would not be given a crown, a white robe or be riding on a white horse. White signifies unblemished holiness. The rider of this white horse has a bow, an offensive weapon of war, but he is also given a crown. The only righteous ones seen wearing crowns during the Lord’s Day are...
