4	Forbidden fruit represents sex?	Gen 3:1	DarcyA	99543
	The KJV: “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. You don't get a demon child from God or with His help, nor do you praise him for this. Notice also that she said she got “a man” not “men” as in plural or “twins.” Who knows better Eve and the Scripture or Murray? This becomes a matter of where one wants to get there teaching from, the Bible clearly says, in Gen.4:1 “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain ” So all the arguments for twins, fraternal or any other are mute. Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Notice the words bore again. The NIV makes it clear in verse 2: Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel was born “later”, not as a twin. They would have been mentioned as twins, as in the example of Esau and Jacob if this had been the case (again as previously mentioned the Hebrew does not allow for this). This is not making a doctrine from silence, but going against the clear teaching in Scripture. It was from ADAM the Scripture clearly attributes Cain to, not Satan. Then there is another argument they use. Cain is not found being in the genealogy, therefore the reason is because he is from the Devil. This is truly ridiculous as Abel is not in it either, so using this way of interpreting one would have to belive he from the devil also! Murray has made this teaching up from the silence of the Scripture, not from what it teaches. Gen.5 excludes Cain and starts with Seth because it is the genealogy of Noah, this is why Cain is not included (Gen.4:25 he is the appointed seed in place of Abel). This is where Murray's error begins and then he launches into what he calls the line of Cain (Kenites). But Scripture teaches there were many lines of humanity not just two. In our modern time this false doctrine was promoted by William Branham. He taught that Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) was sexual sin. Branham said that Eve was seduced into a sexual relationship with the serpent and became impregnated with her son Cain. “Here is what actually happened in the Garden of Eden. The Word says that Eve was beguiled by the serpent. She was actually seduced by the serpent. He was as close to being a human that his seed could, and did mingle with that of the woman and cause her to conceive”(The Original Sin, pp. 2-3). He also taught what was conceived were twins “Since THREE sons were born from TWO acts of Adam, You know POSITIVELY that ONE of those three WAS NOT the son of Adam -- The truth of the matter is that Eve had two sons in her womb TWO sons (twins) from separate impregnation's. She was carrying twins, with Cain's conception sometime previous to that of Abel’s” (Branham, An Exposition of The Seven Church Ages). So we see the very same thing repeated by Murray. If one looks into the teachings of Branham there are other similarities as well. Part 2 More at http://www.letusreason.org/Poptea4.htm
5	Forbidden fruit represents sex?	Gen 3:1	DarcyA	99542
	Serpent Seed Doctrine Murray teaches, Eve and Adam had sex with Satan; Satan being the fruit, the tree, and the snake, in that story. Eve got pregnant with Satan's son and with Adam's son. Cain and Abel were twins; but Cain was Satan's son. (Tape #436) NOW where is that in Scripture? How would this be possible if they were twins? They would both be Satan's sons. Was Adam Satan? Because this is what he would have to be, as Scripture states in Gen.4:1-2 “ Adam knew his wife” (it was not Satan) and Cain was conceived. Both children are called Adam's offspring. Even the Lord calls them brothers in v.9, but not twins. When Eve bore Cain she said he was from the Lord, not Satan. She bore again this time his brother, they were not twins. The Hebrew language does not allow for this in the word “brother”, as well as the construct of her bearing twice. Clearly the implication is she conceived and then bore again. Murray interprets this as Eve having sex with Satan first, then with Adam. The Bible teaches that Adam had sex with his wife after the fall not before, and both Cain and Abel are called Adam's offspring. This conception of Cain took place after Adam and Eve are put out of the garden, one has to do some juggling to try and connect this to the encounter with Satan at the tree. I have heard from Murray’s followers that everyone knows that Cain and Abel were from two different fathers from Eve, as if this is common knowledge and Biblical teaching. This they call fraternal twins; Cain is from the Serpent (Satan), and Abel from Adam. Besides the Biblical evidence is completely silent on this incredible revelation, science refutes it as well. Fraternal twins is somewhat common with animals and has occurred in humans but it is extremely rare. Fraternal twins may be of the same sex or consist of a brother and a sister. But to be accurate it is not fraternal twins that they are describing, but heteropaternal superfecundation. This occurs when two eggs are fertilized by different fathers. This can happen when a woman releases more than one egg having intercourse with more than one man in a short time span. This is recorded in 1810 by John Archer, the first doctor to receive a medical degree in the United States and discussed in Williams Obstetrics (1980). As a matter of fact there are 7 recorded cases, 6 are not mentioning another man as the father except for one possibility, which is not proven. Heteropaternal superfecundation has only recently been proven to be a possibility with DNA testing. It also is reported that fertility drugs played a part in many of the newer cases. The percentage of this is extremely rare estimated to be .0000000015 percent; using these figures in the population it is nine in 6 billion. I say all this only to be fair with those who have brought up this point. Nonetheless it is not a biblical possibility because the Bible already told us who begot whom. So this explanation is not relative to the biblical text. Another point to consider in the arguments for this unique doctrine is the DNA of the serpent, which does not line up with that of a Human and cannot be used to fertilize a human egg. So the argument they put forth on this is also mute. Besides it is impossible that a snake could copulate with a human being, which would have to be the case since Satan used him for the temptation. The serpent was real not a symbol, as he was called one of God’s creatures in the garden, it would be ridiculous to call it a symbol and have God curse it (Gen.2:14). It is later we see the serpent is used symbolically for Satan referring back to this first event. The followers of Murray refuse to see what the Scripture is actually saying. The Scripture leaves no room to think that Satan was the father of Cain through the Serpent. Because it specifically states it was Adam that was the father for both Abel and Cain. If he is not the father of Cain, then he is not the father of Abel either! Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth. Since Adam knew his wife and conceived Seth, no one contests that it would be anyone else but Adam. Why do they contest the same language used for Cain. It becomes clear that it was Adam who was the Father of Cain. The same words and intent are used for both. (Gen.4:17 also uses the same phrase, as Cain knew his wife and she conceived.) This word (knew), in its context means intimacy and is used consistently throughout the Scripture for sex. All the Bible translations agree. (NIV) Gen. 4:1 Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.” (ASV) “And the man (Adam) knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah.” Part 1
6	Forbidden fruit represents sex?	Gen 3:1	DarcyA	99538
	Are you talking about the serpent seed doctrine? I don't think its a Catholic doctrine. If I remember correctly. Its the false doctrine where they say that Eve had sexual relations with the serpent and had Cain. And Cains line is un- redeemable because they are satans line. IF that is the doctrine your are referring to its rather easy to disprove. In Christ, Darcy
7	Need info on fallen Angel Lucifer	Bible general Archive 2	DarcyA	99228
	The Scriptures Do explain it in Detail. Any book out there will not explain it any better than the bible if it does then the book is more falible than normal. Read Isa 14 Eze. 28:14 The Bible will show people the truth the Holy Spirit will open them up and pierce them with the truth. No book can do that.

11	what does the water refer to in john 3:5	John 3:5	DarcyA	97878
	Msootim, We know that God knows everything from the beginning. (DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: (Isa. 46:10 emp. added). The first book of the Bible is called Genesis. Genesis means beginning so I think you can know the end of the beginning and everything in between in the Book of Genesis through the literal, types and shadows. For example in Gen 2:21-22 we read, (And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.) Adam's bride came out of his side. Just like Jesus' bride (The church) came out of His side. In Genesis 3:16 we read, (Unto the woman he said, I WILL GREATLY MULTIPLY THY SORROW AND THY CONCEPTION; IN SORROW THOU SHALT BRING FORTH CHILDREN; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (emp. added). The question we must ask is why did God curse Eve the way He did? We know God is just and the punishment always fits the crime. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. (Exo. 21:24-25) God's judgment to Adam was cursing the ground Gen. 3:17, one of the reasons for this was because Adam ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil Gen. 3:1-6 the tree came forth from the ground, hence the cursing of the ground. Another example is Cain being cursed from the earth (AND NOW ART THOU CURSED FROM THE EARTH, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; (Gen. 4:11 emp. added). A reason fro Cain's cursing was because he was a tiller of the land Gen. 4:2. Now to know why Eve was cursed the way she was, we must first look at the prior verse (AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Gen 3:15 emp. added). Here we see the first messianic prophecy in the Bible. Here we see that the messiah will come from the offspring of Eve. Now lets look at Isaiah 53:11, it reads, (He shall see of the TRAVAIL of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (emp. added). In this verse we see the word 'travai'l travail in the bible usally has something to do with giving birth. In the prior verse Isaiah 53:10, we read, (Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see HIS SEED, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. (emp. added). Who is the LORD's seed? It is the church. So we know from these verses that Jesus Himself had to go through great travail to give birth to the church. (Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN OF WATER and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Joh 3:5 emp. added) What did Jesus mean born of water here? To know this look at John 19:34 (But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out BLOOD AND WATER. (emp. added) In this verse we see that the Church which according to Isa. 53:10 is the seed of our Savior Jesus Christ. This is the water I believe is what Jesus was talking about in Joh. 3:5. Another verse that support this (And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the WATER, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (1Jo 5:8 emp. added). Note how it comes from the very same author, John. In Conclusion the Watar is symbolic of the Church/the birth of the church. In Christ, Darcy PS In John, Jesus says I am the living water...
12	There are lots of messages on sale,some	Bible general Archive 2	DarcyA	97370
	I don't see why not. People are so against preachers of the Gospel being so rich today. Yes, there are are alot of preachers today that lie to get money. But there are some legit preachers of the Gospel that are rich in money by selling books, tapes ect. I don't see anything wrong with this. Also when you hear something teached for the first time. You will not take alot in. I can't remember what percent of the message you take in but it is less than 10 percent. Tapes are very helpful. Personally I buy every tape from every service at the church I go to. So I can listen to the messafge again and again until it sinks in.
13	What did God do before He made the world	Bible general Archive 2	DarcyA	97136
	Your guess is as good as mine. The Bible is written for mankind. So who knows what He was up to before Man. He is all powerful so we can't comperhend what He was doing.

15	What about Christians swearing?	Bible general Archive 2	DarcyA	97024
	I don't have any Christians that do. I don't see thou shall not say... But here are a few verses. I think you must use your judgement. And see the context of what is being said and the mood of the person (Is he saying it out of haste, has he lost control ect.) Prov 12:18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing. Prov 15:4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit. Prov 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles. Isa. 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters wickedness. Heres an example the "F" word makes the act of sex that God gave us as a dirty thing.

	Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; Notice not all the disciples saw it. Also notice Jesus' wording here would not TASTE DEATH. The other disciples would taste death before they see the Kingdom coming. The taste death shows that these disciples would taste death but have everlasting life.
