This is not an attack. I just want to hear what you think.
In Genesis, why does God create man and women twice, once before the non-humans, and once after?
Who are the other "sons of God" that are seen in Genesis 6:1-4? (I mean other than Jesus)
Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Why does Abraham have to convince God to spare the city of Sodom if he is able to find ten righteous in it? How can Abraham convince God of anything? Why does God spare Lot's family, claiming they are righteous, when Lot's wife turns around against God's will, and Lot's daughters turn around and rape him while he is drunk? In the bible, we are told that children were amongst those killed in the destruction. How were they not righteous?
How is Moses able to advise God not to kill the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel? How does God "repent" of the evil which he had thought to do unto his people?
A person who took this vow had to abstain from wine or anything made with grapes, he never cut his hair, and he never came in contact with anything that was dead. If the person kept this vow, they were considered holy or righteous no matter what else they did.
Why is it that Samson, as a Nazarite, got away with breaking most of the rules of the Nazarite without losing his strength? Why did only the hair count?
As a Nazarite, if he drank wine, or anything made with grapes, never came into contact with anything that was dead, and never cut his hair, he was holy, and with God's strength. But clearly when Samson killed and hid the lion from his father, he came into contact with something dead. Why then, did he keep his strength? What about when he killed people with his bare hands in order to pay back his gambling debts with their clothing? Why is it that many times when he killed innocent people, it is said that "the spirit of the Lord" came upon him?
Any answers are appreciated. Thank you.
