Subject: Re: Your NUTS
Ah, this is more like it. These are questions. I have already answered
most of these questions, but since you seem addicted to having your
answers handed to you on a silver platter rather than through studying
for yourself, I will go into them again briefly for you, one by one.
Where did Cain's wife come from? Where did her tribe originate
from?
Do you REALLY know the answer to either of those questions? Where does
your answer come from? From the mind of a man.
My answer comes from the bible, Since Eve was so named because she was
the mother of all living.
Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the
mother of all living.
And of course we know that all mankind arises from a single bloodline.
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;
All the nations arise after the flood they are not special creations.
Genesis 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their
generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in
the earth after the flood.
Accordingly Cain Must have married a sister, we know that he had many
siblings
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Which brings us logically to this question
Why is Cain
not listed in Adam's genealogy?
Who said he was not? He most certainly is. Adam is in Cain's genealogy
(technically speaking, Adam has no genealogy, he was created from dust)
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain,
That is the standard way in which the bible denotes who is father to
who, is it not? It does not say "The Devil knew Eve and she conceived,
no, it says ADAM, and you ought to beware of people that start telling
you bible is not true!
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch:
Same formula. Exactly.
The reason Cain is not in the genealogy of
chapter 5 is because he was not in the genealogy of NOAH. No, Cain does
not appear in that genealogy by name, but why would he? He was not a
progenitor of Noah, and it is silly to ask why Cain is not included in a
genealogy that does not include MOST of Adam's children.
(It is like asking why Saul is not in the
Genealogy of Christ.)
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were
eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Why are the rest of Adam's kids not listed? Why? Because they are not
in the line of Noah. Period.
Cain is not in Noah's genealogy, but ADAM is in Cain's genealogy in
chapter 4. Very simple. Study for yourself. Stop following bread
crumbs left to deceive you.
Do you think Eve
ate an Apple or a piece of fruit?
A piece of fruit. Can you blame me? That is the distinct impression
one gets when reading genesis...
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree
that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also
in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
It sounds like a real tree to me!
Genesis 2:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her
husband with her; and he did eat.
What in that, exactly leads you to believe that sex was involved? Is
this all a lie? The tree was not a tree? it did not look good for
food? They did not eat any fruit?
Who has perverted your mind from that which is WRITTEN?
Why were
they ashamed of being naked?
Strip naked in public and tell me yourself? Are you ashamed of walking
down main street naked because you just had sex with the devil? No, you
don't need to have sex with the devil to be ashamed of being naked.
According to the bible. When they ate the fruit that granted knowledge
of good and evil, they suddenly saw something shameful in their
nakedness.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked;
Here is something for you to think about.
God forbade them in the following manner:
16 And the LORD God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat
of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
If they were too innocent to know they were naked, how would they know
from this that it was also wrong to have sex with the devil? If they
had sex with the devil, then there was no sin, because God gave no
commandments concerning sex with the devil. God said, thou shalt not
eat, they ate and they suffered the consequences.
The bible teaches that the sin in the garden was disobedience to God,
not sex with Satan. God gave them a simple command and they could not
keep it.
exapataó: to seduce wholly, deceive
Original Word: ἐξαπατάω
The word has NOTHING to do with SEXUAL
seduction. READ THE PROOF
HERE Arnold Murray is preying on your ignorance, and counting on you
to presume that "seduction" means "sexual seduction" but that word is
never used that way in scripture. The root
apatao means to cheat, deceive or delude and the prefix ex means out.
The word means to out-cheat, much like we would use outmaneuver or
outlast, it is a strengthened form of deceive but has not the least
sexually suggestive meaning. What you are doing is falling prey to an
accident of modern English. In modern English we have come to see the
word "seduce" as indicating SEXUAL seduction specifically, but that is
not the way it was used in Greek in that passage in 2 Cor.
Very simple. One only need study for oneself.
Who did Cain
build the city for?
For his family? We can only surmise. Look, the bible gives us certain
facts, but you seem to be interested in inserting alien ideas into the
scriptures. There is a lot of time in Adam and Cain's lifetime that is
not accounted for. Do you suppose he walked away from the murder of
Abel and two weeks later built a city? No wonder you are confused.
This city may have been built long after we have centuries to work
with. Eve was the mother of all living...or not? All the nations come
of one... or not? You can let the bible instruct you, or you can be the
one instructing the bible, like Murray does.
how do you
explain
John 3:12: Not
as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his
brother's righteous.
John 8:44: Ye
are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will
do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the FATHER of it.
One of my favorite passages to explain. You said I need to take Arnold
Murray in context. Well, I'm telling you to take the bible in context.
1John3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Al ot of people today will tell you that
sin does not matter, but when you do evil, that is what makes you evil.
When you do righteousness that is what makes you righteous. John is
putting it in the simplest terms.
1John3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that
he might destroy the works of the devil.
Of the devil? "Ye are of your father the devil," why? Because of
lineage? No, because of deeds/works!
1John3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit
sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God.
To truly be born of God is to forbear to sin. I do not claim to be
sinless, but I do acknowledge that God has given us his Spirit that we
might overcome sin and walk as he walked, yes even in this present
world.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to
all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should
live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
In the parable of the tares, it was suggested that some wheat might be
torn up while the field was ripening if they attempted to remove the
tares, that is because we have not attained the righteousness of the
children of God...
Here is how you can tell who the children of the devil are:
1John3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of
the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he
that loveth not his brother.
If the Kenites are greater sinners because their father is the devil,
then what is your excuse? You have no excuse.
God judges by deeds not by lineage. 1 John 3 specifically tells us how
to tell the children of God from the children of the devil, so before
you go pointing fingers at one group you had better take a long look at
your own behavior!
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we
should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his
brother's righteous.
Why did Cain slay Abel? Because he was the carnal seed of Satan? No,
it was jealousy. Clearly. Cain slew Abel because his WORKS were evil and
his brother's righteous. That is what the bible says. Arnold Murray
seems to suggest that Cain was a murderer because he inherited this
characteristic from the devil.
John 8:44: Ye
are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will
do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the FATHER of it.
John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
because my word hath no place in you.
Jesus said "I know that you are Abraham's
seed." These men were the seed of Abraham in the flesh. They were his
carnal seed. But Christ is saying that because they did not do the works
of Abraham they were the children of the devil. Not physically. They
are the children of the devil spiritually because of their works.
John 8:39 ... If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of
Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which
I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
When Christ says that they are the children of the devil he clearly
means this in a spiritual sense. "I know that you are Abraham's seed"
I know that you are carnally descended from Abraham, but if you were
TRULY his children, according to the spirit you would do the works of
Abraham,
This verse is given in similar spirit.
Romans 9:8 They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the
children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the
seed.
Christ was the promised messiah, by rejecting him and wishing to slay
him, they had marked themselves as children of the devil. This is all
spiritual, the devil does not have a carnal seed-line. Anyone who says
otherwise is asking you to give heed to fables and vain imaginations
which and has departed from the truth. Christ himself acknowledged in
verse 37 that they were Abraham's seed. He acknowledged their seed
descent but denied they were his children based on their works.
Do you
believe in the Rapture?
No. This stuff is all over my website.
Have you read the Dead Sea Scrolls?
I have "read" many of them and I have read a few books on them.
Many of the "dead sea scrolls" are copies of books of the bible,
and these copies do not differ significantly from the bible as we
possess it today.
They are quite amazing and they exbound on the birth of Cain
and who's son he is.
Jewish fables
So are you saying those people are misguided as well?
Absolutely, Yes. I'm saying that the
idea that Cain was the son of the Devil, literally, is one of those
"Jewish fables" Paul warned us not to give heed to. The serpent
seed doctrine comes from Jewish mysticism, it is a JEWISH FABLE and
ought to be rejected as unChristian.
Remember, not everything that was written was included in
The Bible, and it has been changed and mistranslated on instances.
Not everything that was written BELONGS in the bible. I have read many
of the books that were excluded from the bible and the main reason they
were excluded was that they were known to be fraudulent when they
"magically" appeared centuries after the death of the Apostles whose
names some forgers placed on their forgery. I have spent 20 years
studying the bible beginning with Arnold Murray as my teacher, and
moving onward on my own, and I have found that the bible is mostly
translated very clearly and is easy to understand if we submit ourselves
to the simple teachings contained in it. Very little has been changed.
And almost everything that has been changed can be traced. For the
overwhelming majority, the most important doctrines are as clear as a
bell and are untouched.
You say that Satan tempted Eve with knowledge, what did he tell
her that caused both she and Adam to be aware of their nakedness and to
be kicked out of The Garden of Eden? I really am interested in hearing
what you have to say on this matter.
The bible is very clear, it says their
eyes were opened and the knew that they were naked. Satan did not tell
them anything. They told themselves, they suddenly knew shame. Because
it is shameful to be naked. "How did you come hither not having a
wedding garment?" No one had to tell them this. They knew because that
is what the FRUIT did to them, read the book. You seem to fail to grasp
what the fruit had power to do. The fruit had the power to bestow the
knowledge of right and wrong. The bible gives the only explanation I
require, if you want to seek answers from other sources, that is your
business.
