Bible Question: I am starting to study the Bible.In Genesis 4:17-18 and 5:17-26,we read about Seth s and Cain s descendants.But I have a doubt,is Lamec a descendant from Seth or Cain? because his name(and the name of his father Metusael)appears in both lines of descendants.Thank you for your help.Be blessed. |
Bible Answer: Good seed vs. bad seed. There are two Lamech's to confuse the seed lines. MATT 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." MATT 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying "Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field." MATT 13:37 He answered," and said unto them," He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; MATT 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 1 JOHN 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; whosoever doeth not righteuosness is not of God, neither he the loveth not his brother. 1 JOHN 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 1 JOHN 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore he slew him? Because his own works were evil, and his brothers's righteous. The tares are still poisonous and are still killing the wheat today. They are copy cats and hide in genealogies, but you still see them in the things of the world. |
