The word Kenite is used 8 times thru out the O.T. Kenite being transliterated for, "Son's or from the tribe of Cain". 1 peter 3 :20 say's that only 8 souls were saved by water. Ok, Noah descended from the line of Seth not from Cain,(obivous), and Noah's daughters in-laws were of the same pedigree as Noahs...[referance: Genesis 6:9; the word "perfect"=without blemish], then my question is this..How did the Son's of Cain ,(Kenites) survive the flood.?....(just so you know, I believe every word of the Bible..I just want to know if other know the answer)..Thank You

Another quote from an answer about homosexuals marrying: "Marrying someone is putting ones stamp on their marriage saying that they are ready to serve God." Is marriage about serving God. Should atheists be barred from marriage? What about people from other religions who get married?

Most importantly, what makes atheists, people from other religions, etc. participating in a ceremony that requires approval from God OK to get married while homosexuals can't?

For someone who was raised with no religion, how do you make the leap to faith? It would be nice to believe in god, but I would only be lying to myself. I am sure if god existed, that would not be good enough.

In England a Muslim woman was fired from her grade school teaching job for wearing a full islamic outfit (incl. face veil). Now there's a debate in England whether this was right to do.

I say that in a country that has church & state seperate it is wrong to bring religion into the classroom, and if one was to present religion in a classroom, it should be the religion of the country, the religion the country has had since one can remember... in this case - Christianity, not a foreign religion.

What say you?

Apparently God works in mysterious ways. Some might say that God may or may not answer prayers, maybe performs miracles occassionally, pops up once in a while in places.

Reportedly the devil is constantly on the move, doing things, plotting, scheming, etc. Kind of pro-active sounding really.

Many of you may have been brought up with the "work ethic" drilled into you as a godly characteristic. But what of the devil? does he not sound to be working incredibly hard to undo God's creation.

Is Satan in fact more industrious and ambitious than God, and what implications does this have?

For the first time in my life I shaved my head, bald. Completely. When I was done I noticed a small mark, it is 333. Does this mean I am only half evil?

"A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!" cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge's nephew, who came upon him so quickly that this was the first intimation he had of his approach.

"Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!"

He had so heated himself with rapid walking in the fog and frost, this nephew of Scrooge's, that he was all in a glow; his face was ruddy and handsome; his eyes sparkled, and his breath smoked again.

"Christmas a humbug, uncle!" said Scrooge's nephew. "You don't mean that, I am sure."

"I do," said Scrooge. "Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough."

Are you a WARchristian, like Bush, or a LAWchristian? Do you think that the poor deserve what they get/don't get, but you are going to Heaven because you are following the rules?

If you are a WARchristian or a LAWchristian, do you think that you might be able to plead insanity on Judgement day?

We cannot gain our salvation through good works because our best works are not good enough to outweigh our sins.

Salvation is a gift from God, received only through faith in Christ, not good works (Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8-9).

How in the h.ell does anyone know how God thinks about anything.

If you believe that hogwash in the bible, fine. That does not give anyone the right to dictate morals throught the law.

What is even worse, is they teach this hate crap to their children.

If you are against gay marriage than by God, don't marry a gay person. Most of the gays that I know are too good for you anyway.

I am as open minded as they come and have had gay friends or acquaintances all my life, I have attended gay weddings, parties, shopped with gays, lived with gays all my life. Now I don’t want to stereotype people, but admit it some stereotypes are true and you know it! NOW, for my question. After 25 years of knowing gay people from all around the world, why is it that 95 percent of them possess an essence of extreme promiscuity? I mean sex is always on their minds! Why is this? They always talk about it. Something else Ive noticed is that they change sexual partners more than anyone. Why? Please don’t take me wrong here I am not trying to bash anyone. I also have to say that most gay people I have met also posses extreme intelligence as well. So is it possible that being gay is a disease because most share the same symptoms?

If somebody breaks both their arms and their leg --- and then goes to a costume ball, should they go as an "accident victim" or wear what they want to and just play down their situation?

Lucifer of Cagliari,or Lucifer Calaritanus, a bishop who died in 371AD, seems to have a very similar story to the fallen angel. Choosing to argue with Emperor Constantius(god) , he wound up being exiled(cast out) along with all those who chose to follow him and continued to speak his mind and oppose the Emperor even while in exile--for the whole complete story, click here http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09410b.htm, I'm writing a question, not a book.

Considering the similarities, is it not pretty clear that the stories in the bible were trying to depict this guys life story, along with the moral that you can't fight those in power, rather than warning us of some god of evil, who the god of good created? That the story was mistranslated or embellished into something it was not intended to be? Or do fundamentalists need the devil to threaten people with and blame, so badly that they will completely deny historical facts in favor of keeping the boogyman alive?
