Raised in the Roman Catholic church until I left voluntarily at 12. Today I am more atheistic than anything. When people ask me if I am Christian, do I say yes? or no?

When god chucks em out of eden, they are the only ones on earth at that point, right? So in order to populate the earth, somebody had to have sex with Eve, or their daughter, or their sister. But then when cain kills abel, he's cast out into the world and finds a wife. Where did all those people suddenly come from?

I've never understood this at all. Any help I'll appreaciate, thanks

I am a eunich, when I find the right person I will
> > transform into one or the other. I think one over

> > other, since I can't imagine the other too well.
If I can't imagine the other, then I must not have
experienced the other and pondering on the other is
not easy or comfortable, so therefore it is highly
likely it would be the one, and not the other.well, maybe I should change it to I am a neutron,
neutral, not having sex with anybody, not interested,
until I find the right committed person.

Also I won't let myself find someone until I get my
act together as a housewife and cook for my kids as
well as my own physical being, as I don't want to get
in shape for someone, but if someone happens along
while I'm already happy with myself and got my act
together, then I know I won't be loving them for what
they can give me or making me feel better by
attentioning me with flowers, dinner, seduction etc. I
have to make myself feel better first.

If Jesus could perform miracles by "thinking differently" (the original meaning of the word "repent") then surely we can do the same?

I am talking to someone who is a Protestant, and I am a charasmatic non-denominational Christian. I just want to know the differences in beliefs.

Now let me start off saying that I do not think that I am better than anyone else. I have, however been told that I have been a positive influence on others lives. A few years back, I was a very judgemental person. That was before I realized that I was not doing what Jesus wanted me to do. I was disappointing Him. I decided to be friends with anyone who wanted me for a friend. That resulted in me having a lot of friends who are not what I would call upstanding citizens in the community. But, I love them and I try to be a positive influence. I have a friend that I have known for a few years. She tells me all the time that I need to stop being friends with this person or that person because of some reason or the other. I try to explain to her and since she is a Christian, she should understand. She has started to avoid me, because of one particular person that I hang out with now. It is really hurting my feelings that she is acting like this. Why can't she understand?

I was just wondering what people think of this.

Here is the verse where God told Eve her punishment for her part in the whole tree of knowledge fruit heist (in two translations):

NIV
To the woman he said,
"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."

KJV
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.

He told her that He would increase her pain in childbearing. That's what the NIV says, anyway. The KJV puts it a little differently, so I'm wondering if there might be more than one meaning.

But anyway, assuming this story is literal, could this suggest that Adam and Eve had children while they were in the Garden?

Is it possible that everything we see and touch is a product of our own thought - all be it heavily influenced by the combined thoughts of those around us?

Could it be true that a shepherd, who spent most of his life on a mountain over 2000 years ago, could have got closer to the truth of what God is than we in our hectic modern life generally can? If so and if his thoughts found their way into the Bible then should we not pay some attention to what he had to say?
