. Another biblical case of @home incest takes place in Genesis 19:30-38 where the two surviving daughters of Abraham's nephew Lot got their dad drunk, and themselves knocked up. The girls weren't motivated by naughty passions (though considering where they grew up it wouldn't be surprising)...

. It could be argued that Eve was Adam's sister; but neither she nor he were produced by a common biological ancestor; rather, he was constructed from dirt and she was constructed from Adam. That makes Eve his descendant rather than his sibling. It had to be that way because God wanted all...

. When Inbreeding Was Safe • Gen 2:21a-22a . . So the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon the man; and, while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that spot. And the Lord God fashioned the rib that He had taken from the man into a woman; The Hebrew word translated "rib" is...

. Possibly the huge multi-national, multi-racial crowd at Rev 7:9 _

. While true that folks who make the cut for the new cosmos can expect to be immortal, that doesn't mean they will be impervious to injures like cuts, burns, scrapes, scratches, sprains, broken bones, punctures, blisters, and/or indigestion and bloody noses. NOTE: The tree of life isn't a...

. • Luke 1:32 . .The Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. Had Jesus stayed dead after his crucifixion, the family's connection to David's throne would've defaulted to Joseph's next-in-line eldest son. But Jesus rose from the dead; and not only that but he came back...

. According to Catholicism's interpretation of Mattew 5:28; had Jesus looked at a woman with thoughts of sleeping with her, he would've been guilty of the sin of adultery. In addition; according to Catholicism's interpretation of Genesis 1:27-28, had Jesus married a girl with no intention of...

. The millennium culminates with a global rebellion against God (Rev 20:7-9) which suggests to me that the inhabitants of the millennium will need evangelizing lest all end up incinerated during the assault on Jerusalem. _

. • Jas 1:13 . . God cannot be tempted with evil • Titus 1:2 . . God cannot lie I was created with human nature; so it's very easy to tempt me with evil-- and dishonesty in one form or another is my way of life, viz: I have a natural proclivity for white lies, bald-faced lies, deceit...

. • 2Cor 5:11 . . Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; The Greek word translated "knowing" means to know firsthand, viz: by experience rather than by education and/or instruction. In other words; there were incidents at various times in the lives of Paul and his...

. The Greek noun translated "Word" in John 1:1-3 and John 1:14 basically refers to spoken words in contrast to unspoken words, i.e. speech vs thoughts. That being the case, then I can legitimately paraphrase John 1:3 like this; "All things were made by God's voice; and without His voice was...

. I once heard a minister tell the story of a busload of Hell's people who were given a 30-day furlough for some R&R in Heaven. They all came back the first night because God's world was such a bore. There were no wild parties, no clothing-optional beaches, no bars, no night clubs, no porn, no...

. According to John 1:1-3; the Word is God. Well; God is an eternal being, i.e. He always was, He always is, and He always shall be. In other words: there was never a moment of time in the distant past when the Word didn't exist, nor is there ever a moment of time in the present when the Word...

. So in your opinion; Ezekiel's God isn't omniscient? He can't foresee the future? _

. If God is as omniscient as people say; then He already knew well in advance that Satan would rebel; yet went ahead and created him anyway. The same can be said of mankind. Adam's fall didn't take God by surprise, nor did God's regret for creating mankind, viz: He knew He'd regret it. God...

. A pretty large percentage of Christians have no clue where they'll end up on the other side when they pass on. They're hoping for the best while in the back of their minds dreading the worst. Take for example the world's approximately 1.3 billion Catholics. Their church threatens them with...

. I won't argue that your figures are in accord with Mormonism's Jesus; but they're definitely in reverse of the Bible's Jesus. According to him (using your arithmetic) 99.9999% will be lost and only .0001% will be saved. _

. Any rancher who goes to the trouble and expense of building a herd, and any farmer who goes to the trouble and expense of planting a crop knowing in advance that they will reap at most a measly 1% return on their investment is pretty much a moron. Even savings accounts earn better than that...

. Quite a few of Rome's doctrines are built upon what's called allusions; defined by Websters as a statement that refers to something without mentioning it directly. For example, the doctrine of purgatory is based upon passages in the Bible that don't really speak of it clearly, conclusively...
