I know you are pissed about your friend. I hope you feel better by letting off some steam. I mean this sincerly. I hope your friend does well and I hope that you will feel better. It is not good to keep anger in.
If you will read below you will see that I agree with you about the crusades. I have no problem with you. So, If you will take it easy and cool off. it is hard to cover all parts of a large issue in so short of time and space.
Many great evils have been done to others in the name of the Christian faith. Crusades, inquisitions, ...and more.
The problem with the Jews and Muslims began long ago. then the Cristian added their hand.
I was answering two people at the same time. You will have to sort them out.
I was discussing Bible content. If a dog eats pickles is not important when discussing what is written in the Bible.
With more knowledge even your statemant is in context. But you are not trying to learn as was Clearskie80 of his free choice. You wanted to push a veiw on us. I was simply answering his questions.
If you really want to study in depth for the truth. I can give you a web site that has free information, study courses and no one will ever bother you. They won't ask you for money or visit.
As the Bible says Eve was the mother of all living. So That is what it says. Now for history, Most do not agree even amung Christians. The Earth had an age before genesis. God created the Earth. Then the Earth became a wasteland and desolate. Go back to the Hebrew. Then Genesis took place. This accounts for many things of history. In understanding this the Bible is then read with even more understanding. If you are not studying it, you will never learn enough to understand. But hey! no big deal its your choice and your peace with it. I do not push it on anyone and you are free to beleive as you wish.
People make complete judgements based on partial information all the time.
Those things are assumed and not stated in the Bible. For understanding it is clearer. But in the whole plan is not that a big deal to the whole picture.
Cains line was most likly the line that produce giants ( this is all assumed ) Adams line was larger and more children where born over his life and they had children and it was assumed more diluted in a few generations and therefore a heathier population.
Adam and Eve where form by God out of the dust and God breathed life in them. They where call the children of God. They where not from monkeys. Cain settled in the land of Nod after killing Abel taking a sister with him (presumed) These are the sons of men. The children of Adam and Eve are the sons of God. You really need to read from the start.
I don't remember where it is in the Bible (old Testament) Check the index. At that time the Jews where part of the Hebrew Tribes. They where only one tribe Judah (later Judah and some of Benjamen) are called Jews today. You have a lot to learn. The tribes of the Hebrews split into the northern and southern tribes in a gripe about kingship and temple placement. Jews are only part of the tribes even scholars call the whole Hebrew tribes Jews. This is an error by them.
Read the Bible close about this. Use A Strong's Concordance with dictionaries. Look up the words as you go. Some words have different meaning than understood today. Maybe that will help you to understand it.
The stink about Abrahams sons is this. (as best as I recall) The son by the handmaid was first born and they claim the birthright. But Abrahams son by Sarah was the one that recieved the birthright. He was first born of Abraham with Sarah. The child with Sarah has birthright, But the other claims Birthright. So, Big long fight!
The Hebrews and Muslims claim the same father Abraham and the same birthright. The Christian invaded the Holy lands to free them in crusades and murdered and killed. So they didn't like it and returned the favor. Thats the short version. Somewhat.
Most of the love today is like a gold plated ring. A very thin coating of love for the other and underneath love for self. The other is no more than a property. This is why a man will terrorize a woman (cause he loves her...Bull!) when they split. (someone took away his toy,and he was not through playing with it) SELF!
A friend of mind was split from his wife and I could never get him to see what he was doing. People think one way, and you can never get them to see the most simple fact. Blind!!!!!!!
I have seen it many times. I was raised with it. It is what is in me for the right one. It was more common than it is today. Now is the me generations.
