Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 25 2011,10:52)Perhaps David.But maybe you and Pierre could help me out with this point:Cain was banished to the land of Nod, hidden away from the presence of Jehovah.  It was, in Cain's eyes, a punishment almost too much to bear.So apparently, the favored children of Adam and Eve would not have been living in that place,…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 25 2011,11:47)14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”WHO exactly would have found Cain and killed him as he was wandering on the earth, out of the presence of Jehovah?Which of Adam's offspring were a…[Read more]

Maybe it was named that after cain was sent out. Maybe it was named that because Cain wandered about in that area. This wasn't written a second after it happened. It was written much much later. Maybe, by that time, it was well known as the land of Nod (wandering) because of past history.

Nick asked if I ate pork. Can't remember why. I don't think he ever explained the question. Yes, virtually everyone uses fallacies in their argumentation, almost always without being aware of it.

Gene, I will respond to you in detail. But I must work now.

Hi princess. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.

Quote David…………Here is one for you, If the Saints are Joint Heirs (with) Jesus and are called a Kingdom of Priest a Royal Priesthood as He is also a High Priest, and Daniel said “THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL POSSESS THE “KINGDOM” FOR EVER”. Then tell us what kingdom are these Saint going to Posses “FOREVER”. –GeneGene, I'm not…[Read more]

“Athough I can understand what your faith believes, to comprehend that rulers will be needed is somewhat odd to me…”Princess, would you say this verse is odd to you? “you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.” The Bible does not say that rulers are “needed” as though God needs to set up h…[Read more]

When the kingdom of God did not immediately assert itself, people began to allegorize, metaphorize, spiritual, etc the kingdom.The kingdom of God is actually a kingdom, as the word suggests.
