Most of the time it is up to us to discern the meaning of the types, but in the case of Adam and Eve, we are told that they are types of Christ and the Church respectively. I don’t know if you have thought through this, but to say that Eve, the type of the church is a prostitute, doesn’t fit.

Diego did not say that Eve, or the church, was a type of prostitute. He said that the event of having twins by different fathers happened with prostitutes.

It grates my soul because so few people can discern the lie that you proffer.

You believe I lie?

It causes people to turn away from the study of Types, just as numerology has caused people to avoid the study of numbers in scripture.

You continue to study types and I study numbers in scriptures, which is not numerology. We haven't been turned away. Are we the only ones?

Use your same reasoning with believing my "lie" is turning people away from truth with that of some people, that cannot answer the scriptures that have been put forth to prove the position some of us are taking, with calling it heretical, gnostic, racist, posting articles that are filled with lies, etc. That is used to turn them away from the truth too. The only way we know what is and what is not truth and a lie is to read it in the scriptures. Some of us have done that, over and over but few try to actually understand or answer with their rebuttal.

Seven, I do think numbers are important in the Bible but I do not see what you see about the three sons, etc. I can't understand the point you are trying to make, except that because of that theory you believe Cain has to be the son of Adam. When I weigh that theory against the many scriptures telling us that Cain is not of Adam - I'm afraid I must go with the scriptures.

Surely you recognize that this is Christ’s genealogy and that is why Cain is not in it.

I recognize the genealogy of Christ and that of Satan.

Do you think the bride of Christ is a virgin?
