This is how I read the Genesis story. God made Adam & from Adam He made Eve. The serpent (the devil) tempted Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge of good & evil. She ate & offered the fruit to Adam who also ate. After this they felt shame because they had an awareness of evil that they never had...

So would someone please answer my questions. I made my case based on the scriptures. I have no preset agenda, in fact, I never heard this doctrine before now.

I also read the phrase "sons of god" in Genesis to mean angels. In this case fallen angels. I think the article is solid. Although I think the verse does imply Noah was righteous, but that is a very minor point.Back to the angel question. Abraham was visited by 3 messengers (who were angels.)...

One of the hallmark differences between Christianity & other religions is an expectation of suffering. Sure, anybody will agree that we are likely to suffer when we sin. But Jesus said to expect suffering for doing what is right. The Western church is losing it's awareness of this. And by doing...

Time for the slow typer to go get something else done today. Boy, I hope my typing improves. But at least, I get right to the point.I've done the best I can to show why there is no Biblical support for a distinct race (partly begotten of satan-the Kennites) alive today, whose purpose is to...

Welcome Graham,You mentioned Uganda. I've heard that they are very open to the gospel right now. It is always encouraging to see God at work in the world.

Dang, you all type so much faster than I do. I was still 2 or 3 posts up.Yes, I agree the "with the help of the Lord" carries the intent of thanks & gratitude. Not that God had sex & got her pregnant (who would have ever thought I'd be typing that.). Then you lost me. I see both Cain & Abel as...

The Old Testament is pretty clear about calling a spade, a spade. It doesn't gloss over character faults or lies. For example, Abraham calling Sarah his sister. And Job's friends getting in trouble for giving him bad advice. Or David being the wrong when he slept with Bethsheba. But I can't find...

I will pray for your girlfriend's grandfather. And her family.

I laughed so hard, I was crying. Thanks for the humor.

Yes, English uses one word for both heaven (the realm of God) & heaven (the sky/stars). It means God will create a new physical universe.Editted for typos.

Actually, that wasn't my next question. But I do have a few.First, a caution, If God's word says something-I believe it. Scripture is the ultimate authority & the inspired word of God. If Gen 4:1 is a lie, then whatelse are you selectively elinimating from scripture. There is great danger in...

Dave this is something that has been on my heart a great deal as well.We have those teaching, "Follow God & all will be great in your life." Coupled with, "Don't worry about suffering because we will be raptured before then." (Not that I'm 100% certain whether to expect a pre-trib or mid trib...

Let's see. Where are we. Okay. I judge doctrine based on 2 things. First, what did God say-ie test it by the scripture. Second, I test doctrine by it's fruit. Are we in agreement that Adam is the father of Cain? Because Genesis 4:1 is clear about that.Moving forward, I do believe fallen angels...

(kriss;20039) I disagree that Gen 4:1 proves anything except Eve out of innocence made a statement it not like she took sex education in school. These are not the words of God but Eve I believe they are the inspired words of God. Just like the rest of the Bible. I have no reason to believe they...

Yes, kriss, I understand that fraternal twins are biologically possible. Medically, there have even been cases with 2 different fathers. But I don't think that applies here.When I doubt, I go with the plain explanation of scripture first. Then look for deeper meaning. Genesis 4:1 establishes...

I was sleppy last night & didn't have a chance to give this as much thought as I should have. So today I reread Genesis. I realized I could have clear this up faster. In Gen 4:11, it says 1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the...

By Ronald Boyd-MacMillan (2006). A very good read for anyone interested in the persecuted church. It is at times very sad & troubling. But a good resource for seeing what God is doing around the world. And a great motivator to pray, or become politically active, on behalf of our brothers &...

Gotta be tradition. Since it isn't Biblical. Just look at the physical description in revelation.I'm convinced God doesn't differentiate based on race. We are the same under our skin. We have the same 4 blood groups. Our body work exactly the same. With the exception of a few genetic diseases...

Well said. The encroaching of a one-world, bland vanilla god with no substance & no salvation. Still, I always see the question "Isn't your God the same as so-and-so's god?" as a opportunity. A search, questioning heart is one that may yet come to know the savior.
