Cry out REALLY loud and Mary will move YOUR request to the front of the line!

[Boogieman]

“How much of the Cain line of people were mixed in with Noah?”

Why does that matter? We’re all fallen, whether we descended from Seth or descended from Cain.

Lineage of the Jewish Messiah matters to some.

[Boogieman]

Sure, but we know his lineage was from Seth.

[ravenwolf]

By “we” do you mean all Christians or just Catholics?

I was referring to Christians, however I got ahead of my self, I was assuming that Christians would be reading the O.T.

Why don`t you cry out in my behalf? I am sure you have her and her sons attention much better than I do.

[Resettozero]

Then maybe it doesn't matter, just as you say.

What does matter is that I must immediately extricate myself from this genealogical discussion.

Carry on

The 24 hour day is not theory, it is echoed in numerous places in scripture, including by our Lord and Savior.

“What does matter is that I must immediately extricate myself from this genealogical discussion.”

That sounds like something a Cainite would say.... :)

So who was the FIRST man God created?

[Partisan Gunslinger]

As far as is known He never sat down in a seminar and deconstructed his parables, symbols nor did he dissect the Scriptures as one does today other than to disparage and humiliate those who sought to justify themselves with the common “It is written...”

Wow. Look at the number of times Jesus said "it is written". It was meant to be read.

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

God will further approve those that study, not humiliate them.

It is surprising to me how Catholics fight against the Word.

[boatbums]

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. (James 4:4)

[Resettozero]

I think you have said that all "we need" are the Old Testament and Four Gospels. Presuming you are not including the Apocrypha, are there any O.T. books Christians don't need? In other words, which O.T. books are necessary for a Christian? Thanks.

I really appreciate being enlightened

But I have an idea there are one or two other people besides me who can not see it.

But they may not have a young earth pupil to explain it to them.

I believe we should change the Bible to tell us what it means in plain words as the guy that wrote Genesis( Moses I believe) did not make it clear at all and makes me wonder if he even had any more than a vague idea.

I think you should change the sixth day to read that God created Adam and Eve on the sixth day, and it would not hurt to get them generation out of the second chapter, would that be too much to ask?

It is really confusing to us mortals.

But you say any one should be able to understand that, I didn’t, not until you explained it all to me and even still I do not see it in scripture so just have to take your word for it.

I heard some one say that God wanted every one to be saved, just think how many people are going to hell just because you will not change the Bible to what it really means.

And most people do not have a young earthling to explain all of the scripture to them to tell them exactly what it means.

[Resettozero]

That sounds like something a Cainite would say.... :)

Knowing my relatives, could be. At least on Dad's side.

[Partisan Gunslinger]

There was no “8th day of creation” for God to finish up a few things that he forgot to take care of. If you want to posit one, go ahead and quote the Scripture that mentions such an 8th day. While you’re at it, you can try to explain why God rested when He hadn’t finished what He set out to accomplish. Was He just tuckered out? While you’re looking for those verses, you can chew on these: “10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exo. 20:10-11

The souls of Adam and his family were in heaven on the sixth day, waiting to be born, just as we in this generation were waiting.

[Partisan Gunslinger]

lol I wonder about one side of my family too. :^)

[Partisan Gunslinger]

You and I do the same thing, truth is that no one knows.

That's what I say all the time, only Jesus was perfect in wisdom, the rest of us are wrong in places. But of course I believe I am closer to the truth than anyone else now. :^)

You know, Moses spent quite a lot of time with The LORD up on that smoking mountain. Perhaps days. Wonder if they talked about anything else that's not recorded in The Books of the Law. Perhaps not.
