Religion / Re: Answer This Sunday School Question My People. (see Question) by markettray: 9:56pm On Jun 07, 2015
Some claim that the passage in
Genesis 4:16-17 means that Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. Thus, they can conclude there must have been another race of people on the earth, who were not descendants of Adam, who produced Cain's wife.

“And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and he called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.”

It is clear that all humans, Cain's wife included, are descendants of Adam. However, the passage above does not say that Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife but that he knew his wife.

John Calvin, commenting on these verses, states:

“From the context we may gather that Cain, before he slew his brother, had married a wife; otherwise Moses would now have related something respecting his marriage.”[13]

Cain was married before he went to the land of Nod. He didn't find a wife there, but “knew” (had sexual relations with) his wife.[14]

Religion / Re: Jide Macaulay, Nigerian Gay Pastor Writes Letter To Homophobes With Bible Quotes by markettray: 11:01pm On Apr 10, 2015
EroticAngelina:
Gay Nigerian pastor, Jide Macaulay took to facebook to write a letter to homophobes this morning. Read what he wrote


Open Letter to Homophobes
Far too many people play God and dehumanize Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Trans, and Intersex people throughout the world, in every culture, race, background etc.
The discrimination is so bad that it leaves many LGBTI people wondering and asking questions. This letter to Homophobes is being reproduced to answer many questions people have asked me.
Both heterosexuals and homosexual people, People of all faith have claimed that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
Dear Homophobes,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your bigoted rhetoric, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, they are clobbered with Leviticus 18:22 which clearly state it to be an abomination...End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problems are my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. Clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

The Other Child of the living God.

It's a pity. Please read the new tastement version Romans 1: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
NIV:They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26
KJV:For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
NIV:Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

27
KJV:And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

May God have mercy on the weak minded. We are not here to stay. Where death finds us eternity binds us.
Religion / Re: 14 Evidences For The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ by markettray: 8:36am On Apr 05, 2015
Please you do have a point in your idea of Evidence, nevertheless your idea and points stands only if you are in doubt of the accounts in the Bible. Please consider these lines of fact and tell me what you think:
1. Achealogist & historians have scintifically proven the age of the bible manuscript/writtings to be ascient some 100's of years before the emmergence of science. And they went a step further to confirm as a historical fact names, customs and towns in the bible with 100% accuracy.
2. If it has been confirmed that a man named JOB in the Bible exist in history and his writtings verified. Then take note that the authority of the Bible is not even based on the scientific and achealogical verifications of Names, events and towns in the Bible but on the fulfillment of Prophetic predictions therein. For example JOB claimed over 4000years ago that God told him that He is God that sits upon the Centre of the Earth and hold the earth upon nothing. This prediction is made somany years before scientist discovered that the earth is spherical/round in shape and that it hangs on nothing Proving the Bible account of JOB to be correct. Time will fail me to give you other instances about the Bible fulfillment accounts like the increase of knowledge in the last days, the drying of the euphrates river, the indepence of Isreal as a nation and etc. It is obvious through a logical and scientific point of view in regards to the Evidence you seek by either induction or deduction that the Bible stories are indeed a historical fact and its prophecies for the present and the future is infallible.

Requoting verses in the bible is in itself not an evidence.

Weathermen with all their modern gadgets can not predict the weather accurately for more than two days! So if someone can predict accurately into the far future covering more than 10centuries without education, modern gadget it means that the prediction is of one who no doubt knows the end from the beggining.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF UNCOUNTABLE BIBLE REVELATIONS & FULFILLED PROPHECIES

a. GOD DECLARES THE EARTH IS ROUND: It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth... - Isa 40:22 (740-680 B.C.) Most ancient civilizations believed that the world was flat. Their mariners would not venture too far out into the oceans fearing that they would go over the "edge" into some unknown, fearsome abyss.

b. IT SHOWS US THE EARTH IS HANGING IN OUTER SPACE: He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,and hangeth the earth upon nothing. - Job 26:7 ( 2000 B.C.)The majority of ancient traditions and legends would speak of the earth as being supported by huge pillars or on the back of some giant tortoise. When these moved, then you will have earthquakes.

d. IT SHOWS US THE ATMOSPHERE HAS WEIGHT:
To make the weight for the winds... - Job 28:25 ( 2000 B.C.) It was only in the 1600's, that Galileo discovered that air has weight.

j. IT SHOWS US THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE OF WATER:
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. - Eccl 1:7 ( 950 B.C. ) The process of evaporation and condensation of water were
only discovered by Galileo in 1630.

o. IT SHOWS US THE REALITY OF ADAM AND EVE:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth... - Gen 1:27-28 ( 1450 B.C. ) Mitochondrial DNA is inherited always and only from the mother. A researcher, Rebecca Cann, studied the mitochondrial DNA of the placenta of babies from 147 women from America,Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. All the babies' DNA could be unmistakably traced to one woman. (Jan 11, 1998, Newsweek, Inc,)

q. IT SHOWS US THE PRACTICE OF CIRCUMCISION ON
THE EIGHTH DAY: And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your
generations... - Gen 17:12 ( 1450 B.C. ) One simple aspect of God's command to Abraham helped
prevent excessive bleeding with circumcision of the newborn. That was the instruction that the rite should be done on the eighth day of life. Modern medicine has come to understand the mechanisms at work in the clotting of blood. Of major importance in blood clotting is prothrombin, a compound made in the liver and the precursor of the active clotting agent thrombin. It has been well established that within a few hours after birth prothrombin becomes relatively depleted and does not become replenished by the infant's liver until about the eighth day of life. ( Russel J. Thomsen, M.D., Medical Wisdom From the Bible, Old Tappan, New Jersey:
Fleming H. Revell Company, 1974, pg 17 )

a. IT PREDICTED THE RETURN OF THE JEWS TO THEIR
LAND BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD: And I will bring you ( the Jews ) out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye ( you ) are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. - Ezek 20:34 ( 592-570 B.C. ) I will say to the north ( a reference to Russia, et al ), Give up; and to the south ( a reference to Ethiopia, et al ), Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. - Isa 43:6 ( 740-680 BC )
The Bible hinted that the world will not end until the Jews are first back in their own Land. Historically, because of their continuous disobedience toward God, the nation of Israel was destroyed and the Jews were scattered in 70 AD by the Romans. However, after World War II, on May 14, 1948, almost 2,000 years later, and against all odds, the Jews were given back their land by order of the United Nations. Israel earnt the distinction of being the only people in the world who had been dispersed and regathered to their land after almost two millennia(2000 years).

l. IT PREDICTED THE COMING ONE-WORLD LEADER
(THE ANTI-CHRIST ) AND GOVERNMENT: … and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb… - Rev 13:7-8 ( 96 A.D. ) Towards the end of this age, countries all over the world will largely gravitate towards a “One-World Government” with a “One-World Leader” – the Anti- Christ. Presently, the political leaders of the world are awakening to the stark reality that their nations cannot survive in isolation. The onslaught of globalization, the new, borderless economy, the advent of the Internet, the possible environmental catastrophes facing mankind – global warming, ozone depletion, etc, and international conflicts and crises, which require multinational cooperative efforts to resolve, are inevitably forcing all these nations to come together in interdependence. The latest trend in the world is towards the concept of “The New World Order,” “Globalization” and “Global Governance.” The formation of international bodies like the UN ( United Nations ), WTO ( World Trade Organization ), ICJ ( International Court of Justice ) IMF ( International Monetary Fund ) and ICC ( International Criminal Court ) are systematically laying the groundwork for this coming New World Order. These, together with the formation of the Common Markets ( NAFTA, EU & ASEAN ) are drawing the nations of the world into a “One- World Government”. Hell is a prepared place for an unprepared people.

m. IT PREDICTED THE COMING "MARK OF THE BEAST"
( 666 ): And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right
hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save (except) he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. - Rev 13:16-17 The Anti-Christ, when he appears in the coming Tribulation period, will cause everyone to have a particular mark in their right hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell. This technology to control the world’s commerce is already at our doorstep – the Human ID Implant or the RFID ( radio frequency identification ) tags. Presently, we are heading towards a cashless system where eventually all economic transactions may be made through the microchips, implanted in our right hands or on our foreheads. The “plastic card” ( ATM, VISA, MASTERCARD, etc.) is the intermediate medium which will eventually lead to the use of microchips There is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
AP, February, 2002, “Answer to Security Prayer? – Human ID-chip implants”, it states: “Sept 11 catapults security industry into an era of uncharted possibilities - not to mention a human-rights minefield. WASHINGTON - Embedding a computer chip the size of a long grain of rice beneath a person’s skin could be the answer to a need for foolproof security at vital installations.
The Straits Times, Singapore, March 26, 1998 states: In 10 years you will have... a chip in your head
Take out your wallet and count the number of cards you carry, not to mention all the Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) that you have to memorize for every possible transaction… Everything from employment and medical records to financial status can be written into the chip. Add a short-range wireless transmitter-receiver, implant the whole thing under your skin, and you have a personal transponder, just like those in aeroplanes… Even grocery-shopping could be easier. Just walk into a store and pick up whatever you want to buy. No more queues at the cashier’s counter. All this could be a reality in 10 years’ time. Hell is an abiding place, but no resting place.

IT PREDICTED THE SPEED OF TRAVEL AND THE EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE IN THE END TIMES:
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. - Dan 12:4 The Bible predicted that in the Last Days, many people would be traveling to and fro at incredible speed and there would be an explosion of knowledge. In the last 5,000 years of observable, human history, technology has hardly changed – man lived off the land and the fastest speed he could travel was on horseback. But in the last 100 years or so, we are communicating with the speed of light and traveling past the speed of sound. The Twentieth Century alone saw the invention of cars, trains, planes, radio, television, satellites, rockets, computers, the internet, et al. Knowledge is estimated to be doubling every two years. Technology is moving so fast that what’s new today will be obsolete in less than a year’s time.

IT PREDICTED THE DRYING UP OF THE RIVER EUPHRATES AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared… which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty… into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. - Rev 16:12-16 The Bible tells us that towards the end of the Tribulation period, the River Euphrates will dry up to allow an assemblage of formidable armies from the East (China, etc) to cross into Israel for the last great battle – the Battle of Armageddon, the Mother of all Battles, where all the great armies of the world will converge. It is also of interest to note that today, we are seeing the reemergence of China as a world economic and military superpower. Turkey has built one of the world’s largest
dams - the Ataturk Dam on the River Euphrates. On January 13, 1990, she began to fill the reservoirs behind the giant Ataturk Dam. Anticipating her neighbors’ complaints, the Turks increased the water flow 50% before cutting it down to a trickle. Both Iraq and Syria protested to no avail. Today, it is possible to “dry up” this huge, gigantic river - the River Euphrates. We are not here to stay; we are here to go.

TYRE WOULD EXIST NO MORE:
• Nebuchadnezzar would defeat and plunder Tyre; another nation would break down Tyre's walls and “lay [its] stones and [its] timber and [its] dust in the midst of the water;” and Tyre would exist no more. Its dust would be scraped, and it would be “a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea.” Three years after the prophecy was made, Nedbuchadnezzar beseiged Tyre for thirteen years, in which time its residents fled to a nearby island, which they also named Tyre. Everybody thought the prophecy had failed because old Tyre wasn't scraped into the sea (although it was defeated and plundered), but 240
years later, Alexander the Great besieged the new island city. To do this, his army threw the stone and timber of the old city into the sea, building a 200-foot-wide, half-mile-long land bridge, scraping even
the dust of the old city. This bridge still exists today, and fishermen “spread their nets to dry” on what was old Tyre— never rebuilt. An astounding fulfillment!
