1 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205962 | ||
Hi John: I'm truly sorry for the over sight, I thought I was being very, clear in what I wrote because I did say Doesn't it make more sense that NOAH had all the DNA, because we are all descendents of him. Or were Noah, and his sons, all the different races, before the flood ? My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). Just what was it that you did not understand, it is a given, that Noah was alive after the flood. People that are not saved know this. So to rectify the matter for you, Gen. 6:13-19 (Eight people) survived the flood I asked you for scripture, to back up the statement made by Val. that you apparently agreed with, That Adam had all the DNA in him for the different Races. There is no scripture for that theory. I did not say my theory was true, I said it made more sense, because of the confusion of the language event in history. The possibility of both events taking place at the same time. According to your own posts you knew exactly where I was going, you said yourself in your 2nd. Note to ME, that you saw my point. Jim: Oh, Ok, I see your point: My advice to you is this. Start back at the beginning, read through what you said, then what my answer to your points were, I said it 1,000 X's So there will not be any misunderstanding, on anything. The Theory that, " Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind". Cannot be backed up by scripture. There isn't even 1 scripture that you could misconstrue, to get to that point. That is what is called Dogma, a statement made, as a statement of truth, not based in fact. I did not say my theory was fact, I said it was an alternative, that made more sense. My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). To me it makes most sense, because that's when a CHANGE took place that ( WAS DOCUMENTED ). To me that was the time, that God also changed the RACES. But if you want to believe the lie, that cannot be substantiated by scripture, but only on the basis, because it has been put forth by (SCHOLARS) go right ahead. Subject: 3 brothers descendants changed Note: Well, Jim, Most Scholars agree however, though we cant say at what point God put the ability to diversify in man, we can agree that it was in Noah's sons, from Noah, since they are his direct descendent's, and as it is agreed, they spread out and repopulated the earth. As the theory goes however (there's that word again :-) as language was confused and spread across the earth it was adopted by the descendant's of Noah's sons. But like you said that may be just conjecture. The important thing is that God did it. Shalom John GOD BLESS Jim |

Hi skccab: The thread goes back to Val at 5:46 pm She wrote, QUOTE "I however, agree with their research that we all come from one man Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind". Everything I have said has been against that theory. All I did was to put up a more plausible Theory, on the grounds of everything I have stated. The whole point was to say, there isn't anything to back up your theory, as mine has at least the confusing of the languages , that might go along with that event, which makes more sense to me, rather than following some so called scholars, merely because they have a doctorate. I have not said, or intimated there is another line outside of Adam. I was saying (that) theory doesnt hold water, where mine might hold alot more, on the grounds of the posts. That was the reason for asking John for Scripture to back up the one in Vals post. Reread them carefully Jim |

Hi skccab: Well that was a given, for those that have read the whole thread, between John and me. My statements have all been around, the confusing of the language of the Earth time period. But for those that don't know when that happened. Gen 11:1-9. GOD BLESS Jim |

John: Scripture to back up a Theory would be greatly appreciated, isn't that what is supposed to be the point of the Forum? If a theory cannot be backed up with scripture, then it doesn't carry any more weight than, Darwin' s Theory. Just because someone might be a "Scholar" doesn't mean (THEY), can agree to put forth Theory's, Beliefs as though they were Truth, without something concrete to back them up (Scripture). That is called Dogma. How can we agree, that it was in Noah, and in his sons, if the Theory hasn't (BEEN) proven? All we can agree on, is that (IT IS A Theory). The language was confused, but it wasn't the language that spread across the world, it was the people that had, had their language confused, they did the spreading, thereby populating in areas that were theretofore unpopulated, banding together because of similar qualities, Language. (skin color, and racial features) My Theory. The important thing is that God did it. We don't know HOW, we don't know WHEN, but I tend Not to believe the Scholars. Jim |

John: Going with that reasoning then, (WE) should be able to have different raced children of our own today. RIGHT? It only stands to reason, we all did come from Adam So at what point in human history did, or would it have stopped? The point being, if you make up a Theory, that Adam had all the DNA. Then you would have to make up another Theory, to cover that stoppage Then the question might arise. How does that missing ability in us today make us different than Adam? What I'm getting at is, once you make up a Theory out of absolutely nothing, then you have to keep on doing it, to cover any contingency's that may arise. The Theory I put forth, makes a statement about an event that has been documented, in the History of the world, (as far a Christians are concerned), giving it more validity, than any other, it also stops there. It doesn't lend itself to future events, that may have to be addressed, which would call for an amendment to original Theory. Jim |

Hi John: Point ????? If you are referring to Adam having the DNA, the way the statement was fraised, it sounded to me as though it was saying, He had it (( ONLY )) and his kids were different Races. If everyone reads it that way then forgive me. Just makes more sense at Babylon. GOD BLESS Jim |

Hi Val: Just a short note, on your statement. quote: "I however, agree with their research that we all come from one man Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind." Everyone born from ADAM died in the Flood. Doesn't it make more sense that NOAH had all the DNA, because we are all descendents of him. Or were Noah, and his sons, all the different races, before the flood ? My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). To me it makes most sense, because that's when a CHANGE took place that ( WAS DOCUMENTED ). Any other Theory, is all 100 percent conjecture. That's it, Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

Hi Tamara: YOU GOT MAIL Sola scriptura ("Bible alone") The [first] objective [or formal] principle proclaims the canonical Scriptures, especially the New Testament, to be the only infallible source and rule of faith and practice, and asserts the right of private interpretation of the same, in distinction from the Roman Catholic view, which declares the Bible and tradition to be co-ordinate sources and rule of faith, and makes tradition, especially the decrees of popes and councils, the only legitimate and infallible interpreter of the Bible. In its extreme form Chillingworth expressed this principle of the Reformation in the well-known formula, "The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible, is the religion of Protestants." Protestantism, however, by no means despises or rejects church authority as such, but only subordinates it to, and measures its value by, the Bible, and believes in a progressive interpretation of the Bible through the expanding and deepening consciousness of Christendom. Hence, besides having its own symbols or standards of public doctrine, it retained all the articles of the ancient creeds and a large amount of disciplinary and ritual tradition, and rejected only those doctrines and ceremonies for which no clear warrant was found in the Bible and which seemed to contradict its letter or spirit. The Calvinistic branches of Protestantism went farther in their antagonism to the received traditions than the Lutheran and the Anglican; but all united in rejecting the authority of the pope. [Melanchthon for a while was willing to concede this, but only jure humano, or a limited disciplinary superintendency of the Church], the meritoriousness of good works, indulgences, the worship of the Virgin, saints, and relics, the sacraments (other than baptism and the Eucharist), the dogma of transubstantiation and the Sacrifice of the Mass, purgatory, and prayers for the dead, auricular confession, celibacy of the clergy, the monastic system, and the use of the Latin tongue in public worship, for which the vernacular languages were substituted. HOPE THIS HELPS IN HIM Jim |

12 | homosexual brain wired that way at birth | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205809 | ||
Hi Believer53: There is no,(NO) Homosexual GENE, science will never be able to prove anything. Homosexuality, is most definitely wrong, GOD, has the only valid opinion. God did know us in the womb. I believe, the growth of Homosexuality in our society, the acceptance of it by our society, is all in direct proportion to the Immorality of our society. I believe we as a society, are now, and have been for years, Sacrificing our Children to Molech, Our society, follows Darwin, and the Theory of Evolution, which is in direct opposition to God, and Creation. Society wants to believe a lie, so God is giving them strong delusion, because of their immoral,and abominable behavior. We are an Idolatrous Nation, Rom. 1:18 through 31 This verse sums up all that I have said, verse 32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. To me the answer is a simple one, God has Cursed our Society, Nation Responsibility of that curse falls on us, because individual Religions, Denominations, Faiths, Churches, have fought this EVIL. But WE as the BODY of CHRIST, have not stood up, in the UNITY of His SPIRIT and fullness of HIS POWER, with JESUS being the head! When we put down our petty differences, coming together as HIS Church then, and only then, will the POWER of Satan be broken, thus releasing us from this CURSE. IN CHRIST Jim |

Hi believer53: Some people have the belief, Homosexuality is the most heinous sin a person can commit, because of the word abomination connected with it. Strange because when we read, verse 23 says Mammilla, is only confusion. Seems to me they are coequal, well if we look at the whole chapter, verse 6 through 23 everything mentioned is abomination. Verses 24 through 30 tell us WHY, because in so doing the LAND is DEFILED. We as Christians, need to start calling, the acts mentioned here for what they truly are. ALL OF THE CUSTOMES MENTIONED IN THIS CHAPTER, FALL UNDER THE HEADING OF IDOLITRY. Last but by no means least, look at the very last sentence in the chapter. "I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD" God telling them again, you shall have no other gods before ME. GOD BLESS Jim |

Hi du plessis: Hard to answer the question. But the easiest for me to believe is, when the Earth was divided, when the speech was confounded, because of the building at Babylon, the features of the different races, also appeared at that time. Works for me. I don't go with all of that cursing stuff. I feel in this case, the term K.I.S.S. would apply very well. (For all of us) Have a good one IN HIM Jim |

Hi Tamara: I didn't get anywhere. I was trying to tell you , look in every direction you can. That's all. As far as the portion of Mark belonging or not, it's in the book, and it has been for a long time, it will be there for a long time to come. We as believers better get a handle on it.

Continuation 2 of 2 Now, as far as picking up serpents, and drinking poison. I could say, God will watch over us, the same as he did for PAUL, on the way to Rome, (Acts 28:3-6) 3) And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4) And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5) And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 6) Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. But take a look at this. Kind of a different light. Or Luke 10:17-20 17) And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on (SERPENTS and SCORPIONS), and over (ALL) the (POWER) of the enemy: and (NOTHING SHALL) by any means (HURT YOU). 20) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Thinking of what Luke has just said, could this food be poison to us as Christians? 1 Corinthians 8:3,4 3) But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4) As concerning therefore the (EATING) of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. OK, I know it says (EATING), but I am thinking on the lines of anything that could be construed a food, or drink, something that we would consume. (NOW) Think of how many different ways, we can consume something How about false teachings that have, and still come into the Church? They could be considered POISIN to the hearer, but not (DEADLY) to the true believer. "Be careful what you hear". James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, (FULL) of (DEADLY POISON). Psalm 140 1) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 2) Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 3) They have sharpened their tongues like a (SERPENT); (ADDERS' POISON) is under their lips. Selah. 4) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. We are to keep ourselves, unspotted from the world. James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot (DRINK) the (CUP) of the Lord, and the (CUP) of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's (TABLE), and of the (TABLE) of devils. "GOD WILL PROTECT YOU" 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye (EAT), or (DRINK), or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Tamara, all I am saying is, if we look at Mark 16:17,18, trying to make sense out of it literally, and cant, are we then to just throw our hands in the air, saying "We cant understand it"? Leaving it there. Or are we to SEEK, KNOCK, ASK . I have tried to stretch my brain, into every direction I could think of, trying to get some understanding of the verses in question. I do not believe we are supposed to take at face value, what something might appear to say. That is all I have tried to do. Maybe with these other scriptures I have posted here, they will spark something, allowing you, to look at things from a different perspective. IN Jesus Name Jim |

Hi Tamara: Mark 16:17,18 17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Are we to take this verse in Mark literally? The question I ask is, If not for today, then why after the 4 Gospels were written, was it still taught? If these were the words of Jesus to the Disciples only, for the BUILDING of the Church, then why write letters to other Churches, (1 Cor.12) teaching them on the proper use of these gifts. Why the in depth explanation, GOD knew this book was going to come down to us, was it so we could argue pro, and con. for 2 millennia. I don't think so. As far as them ending, Jesus said "Them that Believe" aren't we believers? Jesus did not say, there will be an end of these gifts. Anything other than the Cold Hard Fact, of (A)meaning(1) Scripture that explicitly states they were to end, after the Disciples died, then any belief in that direction is pure conjecturer, ( Aren't we Disciples Also) Continued End of 1 of 2 |
