If Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel were the first people on earth, then when Cain killed Abel, Cain went to Nod, and had sexual relations with his wife.....and had kids....And Seth (Adam and Eve's other son) had kids with his wife....How can that be when Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel where the first, and only people on earth??? Am I missing something here?

Thanks everyone!

I know the bible says you shouldn't. So don't give me that answer.

What I'm asking, religious history/theology buffs, is why Hebrew law specifically would have outlawed this, when it had been common amongst tribal and other organized religions? One of the most common themes amongst mythology is petitioning god or the powers that be for information about the future.

Any theories? Opinions?

It seems even the most hardcore Muslims can see that it is obviously not the same God...Muslims use the excuse that the word of Allah was corrupted but this is extreme that the God who created everything and is righteous and true could not protect his word but is made a liar for 4000 years and suddenly now is capable of giving the truth...either God's word is worthy or it is not...It cant be unworthy for 4000 years and suddenly is worthy now...Allah has demonstrated he cant keep his word therefore any written word from Allah is not trustworthy... Allah cant be saying, I know I lied and deceived you 4000 years but I promise not to do that again and expect anyone to listen...Muhammad did not teach this... He didnt know his word did not agree with God. It is why he calls the true word of God guidance and light and he says to agree with the people of the book your God is my God...It is why he wrote 6:15 which says the Bible is his word and it cant be changed.

I am exploring C.S. I have not had any healings. Is this for real, or not? Does it take awhile for Science and Health to sink in, and is it true that reading the book repeatedly can "cure" you of long-standing illnesses? Thank you.

What is this vehicle that came and went as fast as lightning and is the color of amber of highly polished bronze with windows/eyes round about to see who was in it with legs like a calfs and going where it wanted without turning? Remember this guy has only seen a donkey cart up this point....
Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Ezekiel 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
Ezekiel 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
Ezekiel 1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

if someone almost on a daily basis knocks on your door to ask to borrow or perhaps to, "give me a ride" but in some instances your spouse gets upset what should the christian's response be?

How does an atheist determine what is moral? If you believe its "just dont do any harm", how do you feel about an atheist who doesnt mind harming anybody they choose to. Are they "wrong"?

It's not a story you're likely to hear read in plain language in any church, or chosen for a sermon topic.

I have not, I will not have."
That frightens all the childish
And extinguishes fear in the wise.

Actually I heard that mohamed (pbah) excuse my possible mispelling) was illiterate & his servants wrote down for him what he was told by the Angel Gabriel. ... I know there are lots of missunderstandings among christians about this.

In about 1989 in the Panhandle of Texas I was driving at about 5 am. In a flash I saw something white fly across the front of my hood and looked right at me. In an instant it was gone. It seemed to be sleek with white hair. Was I halusinating? I can still see it in my mind.

Since jews dont hold anyone as partners with God.

And the verse that says ' do not marry your daughters' in the Quran specifically says: 'do not marry them to those who hold partners with God'
