521 | why is cain not in adams generation | Genesis | BradK | 235204 | ||
Hello Mr. Smith: Yes, I agree truth is what we're after. However, we must first have clear communication so that both of us know what the other is talking about! You keep changing thoughts in mid-stream, so I cannot follow your logic! What does any of this have to do with whether Cain is the son of Adam and Eve? What do you say about Gen. 4:1? "Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD." (NASB) BradK |

Hello escar, I personally believe none of us is ever too old to learn. In other words, the learning process never really ends! The old adage applies: When the student is ready, the teacher appears! BradK |

525 | Is Cain Exempted in Hell | Genesis | BradK | 235765 | ||
Jlp, You're back on the Forum after an extended absence! Welcome back! I believe a reading of Hebrews 11 would answer your question, Is Cain expemted from Hell? Note Heb. 11:13, "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) Regarding Cain: In Heb. 11:4 we're told "By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain,..." Here, Abel is noted for his faith and there is no mention of Cain. Then, in 1 John 3:12 we read, "...not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous". Note Jude 11, "Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah." Is Cain Exempted in Hell? Based on scripture (particularly Hebrews 11), I can find no reason to conclude Cain is exempt. What's said of him would lead me to conclude that his evil deeds condemn him. He would face the Great White Throne judgment as spoken of in Rev. 20:12ff. Finally, in Rev. 20:15 it states, "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." (NASB) Hopefully I have read and understood your question as it reads. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

My Friend, With all due respect,I'm not exactly sure where you're going with this nor what your point is. Tell me, you want to be under the law, do you not hear the law? I will further assure you that I'm no prating fool, but one who seeks to "walk by faith, not sight" (2 Cor 5:7) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

528 | Looking for resources: Image of God | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 86779 | ||
Dear RobS, There are a number of excellent resources available. One I highly recommend is www.bible.org/docs/theology. Also, any good work on Systematic Theology might be useful. You can always search the internet under your topic- but be careful:-) I hope this helps, BradK |

529 | After God granted his request is there | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 151403 | ||
Hi KDC, Scripture doesn't say. The prayer of Jabez is one of the briefest Bible biographies. All we know about Jabez is contained in the 2 verses of the prayer. It would be pure speculation on any name change. I hope this helps, BradK |

530 | After God granted his request is there | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 151427 | ||
Hi eowyn, There's no argument with the statement of 1 Chron. 4:10. It stands as written that God granted him at least those things previously mentioned. However, the original question was, "Does Jabez have a name change after his prayer". Scripture does not plainly tell us there was a(name) change as part of verse 10. That was my point. So, beyond that, we don't know. Are you saying that from vs. 10 we can conclude his name changed? Just trying to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

531 | After God granted his request is there | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 151596 | ||
Hi eowyn, I send you this in hopes that it will be of assistance to you in your understanding of scripture:-) This is from CARM.org and "Interpretive Principles". It is not a complete- or all-inclusive list- but it's a good start. This is what we are talking about when we refer to interpreting the Bible. Biblical Interpretation The Bible is God’s Word. But some of the interpretations derived from it are not. There are many cults and Christian groups that use the Bible claiming their interpretations are correct. Too often, however, the interpretations not only differ dramatically but are clearly contradictory. This does not mean that the Bible is a confusing document. Rather, the problem lies in those who interpret and the methods they use. Because we are sinners, we are incapable of interpreting God’s word perfectly all of the time. The body, mind, will, and emotions are affected by sin and make 100 per cent interpretive accuracy impossible. This does not mean that accurate understanding of God’s Word is impossible. But it does mean that we need to approach His word with care, humility, and reason. Additionally, we need, as best as can be had, the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting God’s Word. After all, the Bible is inspired by God and is addressed to His people. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand what God’s word means and how to apply it. On the human level, to lessen the errors that come in our interpretations, we need to look at some basic biblical interpretive methods. I’ll list some of the principles in the form of questions and then apply them one at a time to a passage of scripture. I offer the following principles as guidelines for examining a passage. They are not exhaustive nor are they set in concrete. 1. Who wrote/spoke the passage and to whom was it addressed? 2. What does the passage say? 3. Are there any words or phrases in the passage that need to be examined? 4. What is the immediate context? 5. What is the broader context in the chapter and book? 6. What are the related verses to the passage’s subject and how do they affect the understanding of this passage? 7. What is the historical and cultural background? 8. What do I conclude about the passage? 9. Do my conclusions agree or disagree with related areas of scripture and others who have studied the passage? 10. What have I learned and what must I apply to my life? You can read scripture like you want to. However, it does help a great deal if you have some sort of "system" to help you. God Bless, BradK |

532 | God being lonely? | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 151672 | ||
Hi Angel, I followed you up to your last point that, "God too experiences loneliness". Our suspicions or feelings are entirely separate from God on the matter of His Solitariness. Could you clarify? While we may "think" that God could be lonely, does scripture support this notion? If God experiences loneliness, then He is not entirely self-sufficient (as kalos noted). As A. W. Pink writes: "In the beginning, God" (Gen. 1:1). There was a time, if "time" is could be called, when God, in the unity of His nature (though subsisting equally in three Divine Persons), dwelt all alone. "In the beginning, God." There was no heaven, where His glory is now particularly manifested. There was no earth to engage His attention. There were no angels to hymn His praises; no universe to be upheld by the word of His power. There was nothing, no one, but God; and that, not for a day, a year, or an age, but "from everlasting." During a past eternity, God was alone: self-contained, self-sufficient, self-satisfied; in need of nothing. Had a universe, had angels, had human beings been necessary to Him in any way, they also had been called into existence from all eternity. The creating of them when He did, added nothing to God essentially. He changes not (Mal. 3:6), therefore His essential glory can be neither augmented nor diminished." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Angel, Thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate it! That adjective, "seeming" makes all the difference:-) I didn't think you were saying that God is lonely. We have communicated in that both of us now understand what the other meant by what he said. If only others could take the time to do so... God Bless, BradK |

534 | WHAT WAS AND IS OUR ROLE THEN@NOW | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 154879 | ||
Hi fun, Maybe you could expand upon your question since it's very broad? I will offer a broad answer. In " A Puritan Catechism", C.H. Spurgeon offers this: "Q. What is the chief end of man? A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, 1 Corinthians 10:31) and to enjoy him for ever. (Psalm 73:25, 26)" I hope this helps, BradK |

535 | How old is the earth? | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 158525 | ||
Hello llaws, The "young-earth" vs. "old-earth" is indeed an ongoing debatable issue:-) You say, "Significantly, the Genesis account shows that the expression “day” is used in a flexible sense. At Genesis 2:4, the entire period of six days described in the preceding chapter is spoken of as only one day. Logically, these were, not literal days of 24 hours, but long periods of time. Each of these epochs evidently lasted thousands of years." How did you come to that conclusion? BradK |

536 | Did God create Life? | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 161223 | ||
Hi abccan, I'm not the only one unclear on what you're looking for? Could you explain better what you are looking for in the way of an answer? Perhaps Psalm 33:6-9 is what you're looking for? "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." If not, how would you answer, "Did god Create LIFE? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Biblewarrior, I'd strongly encourage you to read, "Terms of Use" and "About the Forum" before proceeding further. I think it'll go a long way toward assisting in finding out if this an appropriate "forum" for you, and prevent any wasted time! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

539 | Heaven | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 162119 | ||
Hi kal, The simple answer is that heaven is the dwelling place of God and beyond any place that man can see. Scripture tells us explicitly that no man has seen God (1 John. 4:12). Here are a few basic facts about heaven from scripture: 1. Created by God. Gen. 1:1; Rev. 10:6. 2. Everlasting. Psalm 89:29; 2 Cor. 5:1. 3. Immeasurable. Jer. 31:37. 4. High. Psalm 103:11; Isaiah 57:15. [R.A. Torrey- The New Topical Text Book] I hope this helps, BradK |

540 | why is the world in chaos in verse 2 | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 164373 | ||
Dear thirsty, Basically, it depends on one's view as to whether or not something happened between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2. In general, this is referred to as the "Gap Theory": "The gap theory postulates that an indefinite span of time exists between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. This time span is usually considered to be quite large (millions of years) and is also reputed to encompass the so-called “geologic ages.” Proponents of the gap theory also postulate that a cataclysmic judgment was pronounced upon the earth during this period as the result of the fall of Lucifer (Satan) and that the ensuing verses of Genesis chapter 1 describe a re-creation or reforming of the earth from a chaotic state and not an initial creative effort on the part of God." For further info, you can go to netbible.org and look under "Topics: Creation". I hope this helps, BradK |
