    COMMON SPEECH & COMMON LANGUAGE

    Speech is the words that come out of our mouths. Language is the meaning of the words that come out of our mouths. Now when God asked Cain "If you do what is right will you NOT be accepted?" how should Cain answer if he wants to be accepted? NO! Adding NOT to a question makes your yes mean no...

    Do You Speak Hebrew?

    I am slowly learning more about the language in my study of Genesis. I found a translation I am curious about. In Genesis 3 : 20, 25 : 21, and 26 : 7, the word translated as "she" in my English bible is actually "he" in the Hebrew writings. The Blue Letter Bible is my source for this. After...

    Jesus in the creation account.

    I was at another site and discovered a woman named "Church Lady" discussing Genesis chapters 1 & 2. Her insights were enlightening and does account for man being formed on the 6th day only. It also accounts for Jesus being present at creation, or at least on the 6th day. The site is another...

    Christians: The Unpardonable Sin

    Matthew 7 : 2 "For in the same way you judge others you will be judged". If the spirit is an "other" and one judges the spirit as being of the devil, will the spirit judge that one as being of the devil?

    Christians: The Unpardonable Sin

    Is faith an important concept in christianity? If it is and one believes "the devil" has powers even remotely like God, then what chance do we have of parden if "the devil" is without forgiveness. I choose to believe that all comes from God and it is I that labels it Good or Bad out of ignorance...

    Was Satan in Eden?

    "Spirits can't reproduce"... John 3 : 6 "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but spirit gives birth to spirit".

    Was Man Formed By Water?

    Genesis 2 : 6 - 7 states that The Man was formed from the dust of a freshly watered garden. Water and dust equals mud. If The Man is formed of dust what is the water doing there if not to suggest that the water does the forming. If the figurative translation suggest the waters formed The Man and...

    To Christians

    Maybe we should envision Heaven or hell as a type of final dream. It is pretty real while we are there and our concept of time is distorted in dreamland. A 10 minute dream may feel like eternity... after all time itself really only affects the physical. The important thing is that the dream...

    Was Satan in Eden?

    There must have been gaps in peoples understanding of what Moses was trying to say through his writings so maybe the gaps were filled in with explainations and myth... we all need someone to blame now don't we. I believe Moses' truest teachings in Genesis 1 - 4 to be very psychological as...

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    I too believe the basic storyline of the bible to be true. I also believe my interpretation to be true but in all fairness want to get feedback from others who study The Word. If there is a flaw in my reasoning please let me know.

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    As far as the Hebrew is concerned Vowels weren't added until long after Moses and from what I understand the words can have many different meanings. Are you saying that the basic storyline of my English bible is incorrect.

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    Oh yeah, God made the beasts after The Man from the 3rd day and before man from the 6th. The Man is the firstborn.

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    Didn't mean to dupe anybody. I have been trying to get church people from many religious backgrounds to answer this question for a year now. I got the impression they knew the answer but would not tell. I know my interpretation is simple and not very flashy. It seems like to me that Moses was...

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    Actually the 2 chapters can be harmonized. The Lord formed The Man on the 3rd day and put him in the garden in Eden. A river flows from Eden to water the garden in Eden. Where is Eden? After watering the garden in Eden, the river branches off into 4 other rivers... rivers that were well known to...

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    So if I read the text figuratively what is the figurative meaning of God forming The Man with his hands out of dust on the 3rd day. Also if The Man is formed of dust by God and the ground has just been watered and is obviously wet, is Moses saying that The Man is formed of dust by the waters...

    3rd day - 6th day Contradiction

    Genesis 2 : 5 -7 says that on the day when there was no vegetation but there was dry land, The Lord God formed The Man from the dust of the ground... Chapter 1 relates this to being the 3rd day. Chapter 1 of Genesis states that man was formed on the 6th day. Now I have asked many about this but...

    Was Satan in Eden?

    Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made (Genesis 3 : 1). He was a wild animal like the lion, bird or fish.
