Paul: [2 Corinthians 11:2-3] For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (Diego1618)
"Beguiled"....Strong's #1818. exapatao (ex-ap-at-ah'-o) "to seduce wholly"
From Jesus Christ Himself: (see post 2226)
Neither live or lived lives close to the Saints and early Church Fathers!
Paul taught it as well as Christ Himself. I don't know why the church fathers didn't.
Peter also taught about the 3 ages (I don't know if he taught about Cain)
2Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6.Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7.But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Peter is telling us that there was a heaven and earth of old and that world "that then was" perished. Our world did not perish in Noah's flood.
So....God has written what happened. It has always been there. I don't know why it hasn't been taught.
You are giving the devil power that God did NOT give him.
It seems to me that to know God's truth is to take power from him.
2Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness
17.We therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being, led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18.But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.
Thank you for keeping me in your prayers......Ping
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. (Genesis 4:1 KJV)
Lets read it slowly together:
And Adam knew Eve his wife.
Ok lets pause here, ok? Now think about this before you answer.... who is the one who "knew" Eve? Was it the serpent? Was Adam the serpent? Well, in my book it says it was Adam and NOT the serpent and NOT Satan.
Ok, lets continue, shall we?
and she conceived, and bare Cain
So what happened after ADAM knew Eve? Think about it before you answer. Ready? "and she conceived, and bare Cain". Wow, just a natural birth following the usual and customary marital relations between a husband and a wife. No mystery there.
Now what does Eve do after Cain is born? Does she confess to her illicit relationship with Satan? No, she says that she received a son from WHOM? Again think about it before you answer. Who gave Eve a son? Look in your KJV. There it is. Cain was a gift from THE LORD!
So are you ready to admit that the Bible says your silly doctrine about Cain being the offspring of Satan is a false teaching? Or are you going to continue to be "carried about with divers and strange doctrines."
Ping this is the strangest doctrine I have ever seen on Free Republic. Without a doubt. There is a good reason why mainstream churches don't teach it. BECAUSE IT IS HERETICAL!
There is also a good reason why White Supremists believe it. Because it feeds on their idiotic ideas of inferior races.
So study Genesis 4:1. It's not that complicated. It refutes everything you believe about the Kenites.
