Ask Me Your Bible And Spiritual Questions by Kenneth4u205(m): 7:23am On Jan 06, 2016
I have observed that a lot of Christians don't really understand some certain part of the Bible. most of our pastors are not really enlightened or grounded in scriptures. this has resulted in higher number of atheist in our society today.some no longer believe in the Bible any more. so if you are an atheist, I'm here to answer all your questions.if you are also a Christian that need a deeper understanding of the Bible,I'm here to help.if you think that the Bible contradict itself, I m here to prove that wrong. let the questions begin

am guessing as Kenneth4u205 doesn't want to use the word "in_cest" Cain's wife was made from his rib just like eve from Adam's hehehehe

fmc1:

James 1:13-14
Genesis 22
Also explain these two chapters
James 1: 13-14

let no one say when he is tempted " I am tempted by God, for God cannot be tempted by evil,nor does he himself tempt anyone.

verses 14 says: but each one is tempted when he is drawn by his own desire and enticed.

this shows that temptation originate from our desire which can be that of the flesh or Satan. mark the key word desire. you saw a pretty unclad lady and then there this strong desire to fornicated. That's temptation, because nobody told you to fornicates.

now let's compare this to Genesis 22:1

Genesis 22:1
22 Now after this the true God put Abraham to the test, and he said to him: “Abraham!” to which he replied: “Here I am!”

in the above Scripture God tested him by telling Abraham to sacrifice his son.it wasn't a desire (temptation ),but rather a test. Abraham heard an audible voice from God,and not a desire to sacrifice his son.so those two verse doesn't contradict each other

the law against incest was not given until thousands of years later, there was no theological problem with Cain marrying his sister. The apostles paul say:

Romans 4:15
for the Law brings about wrath,
but where there is no law, there
also is no violation.

Romans 5:13
for until the Law sin was in the
world, but sin is not imputed
when there is no law.

Cain married his nephew or sister. Abraham also married his sister .

isn't that an incest or sin you might ask?

I will explain it vividly to you. in the time of Adam up till Moses, there wasn't a commandment here on earth. How can you convict some one of stealing when there was no law that say don't steal?. the ten commandment was yet to be given at that time. the were acting out of ignorance and God knew It. that was why the Bible said God overlooked this sin of incest then because there wasn't a law and the act out of ignorance


act 17 :30

Acts 17:30
30 True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance; but now he is declaring to all people everywhere that they should repent.

the about verse explained why it wasn't a sin then.


another verse is romans 5:13


it says that before the law,there was sin in the world but nobody can be charge of being Guilty because there wasn't a law to tell you that you are guilty

Oh really... Then on what moral ground was cain punished for killing abel since the law "thou shall not kill" was not given yet..

then on what moral ground was the world of Noah destroyed when there was no law then meaning there actually was no sin...

Going by your assertion Cain actually didn't commit any wrong by killing abel since there was no law on that and there is no way the world of Noah were all bad since there was no law by which their actions were judged..

You don't just go about pull out no law no sin when the same bible have instances people were punished without the law..

Lets see how inces_t is not wrong before the law but other sins are wrong before the law just because you need to justify the inconsistencies of your assumptions.

This question was asked in one of my philosophy classes and it got me really confused

Is an action a sin because God says it is a sin OR it is a sin that is why God commanded us to abstain from it

in other words, is stealing wrong because God said it is OR it is wrong that is why God said it is

adam and Eve know innately what is Good and bad;
Genesis 3:3
"From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'"

From her statement, it is clear that Eve knew that she shouldn't eat the fruit. In fact she even added to God's command with the words "or touch it," which was not in God's original command. So the sins which Adam, Eve including Cain commit was disobedience to God command. Adam and Eve must have tough their children the danger of disobedient to God based on experience. Their are reason why the law of in'cest was not given then, but was given during the time of Moses.

nice question. there wasn't a law then to convict man of sin.so God always punish the ground instead of man. When Adam sinned, God cursed the ground instead of cursing adam(Genesis 3:17)

once you sin against the ground, the ground will punish you or reject you.

if you read Genesis 4:10-15

it says that the blood of Abel cried from the GROUND. it went ahead to say that the ground is cursed because of Cain. God didn't punish Cain directly, he rather cursed the ground not to yield crop and Cain became a wanderer

the Bible verse below explain the principles in operation then when there was no law

And if you defile the land, it will
vomit you out as it vomited out
the nations that were before you. [/i][/b][/quote]

Oh my goodness we get more out of point...

Last i checked "Adam and Eve ate the apple not cain" so there was no way cain was among the culpable in the fruit eating..

Cain's offence was killing Abel and i am certain that "Thou shall not kill" was also given during the time of Moses..

So there isn't also reason why "thou shall not kill" was not given till the time of moses..?

This is so funny. Contradiction galore..

You said without the law there is no sin, at the same time condemn cain's sin which was committed before the law..

Common tell me more.. Show me how inces_t was not wrong before the law but murder was..

Since there was no law, if one is right then both are right but if without the law was still was wrong then both are wrong..

Read your reply before replying next time..

And again please on what moral ground was the world of Noah destroyed since there was no law before that meaning there was no evil ...

Common defend your inconsistencies more..

That means that God didn't determine it wrongness, who or what then did??....it also means that there are some principles followed by God himself wich are higher than Him....#still confused...we should then follow these principles independent of God's instructions.

12Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is more than I can bear.
13Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your
presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, [size=20]and whoever finds me
will kill me.”[/size]


Clearly enough Cain himself was lamenting how his punishment is too much for him but here you are trying to twist it and say Cain was not punished but was overlooked..

Now the enlarged brings me to another question.. Adam and eve, Cain and Abel were supposedly the only people on earth then Cain killed Abel..

who were those Cain were referring to in the bolded.. "And whoever finds me will kill me" . who were they when we had only 3 people on earth at the moment.. ?

In 1king 13:15-26, why did god trick his prophet and killed him for falling for his tricks?


Here's what 1king 13:15-26 says :

15 Then he said to him, “Come home with me and
eat bread.” 16 And he said, v“I may not return with
you, or go in with you, neither will I eat bread nor
drink water with you in this place, 17 for it was said
to me wby the word of the LORD, ‘You shall neither
eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by the
way that you came.’ ” 18 And he said to him, “I also
am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me
by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back
with you into your house that he may eat bread and
drink water.’ ” But he lied to him. 19 So he went back
with him and ate bread in his house and drank
water.
20 And as they sat at the table, the word of the
LORD came to the prophet who had brought him
back. 21 And he cried to the man of God who came
from Judah, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Because you have
disobeyed the word of the LORD and have not kept
the command that the LORD your God commanded
you, 22 but have come back and have eaten bread
and drunk water in the place of which he said to
you, “Eat no bread and drink no water,” your body
shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’ ” 23 And
after he had eaten bread and drunk, he saddled the
donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 And as he went away xa lion met him on the road
and killed him. And his body was thrown in the road,
and the donkey stood beside it; the lion also stood
beside the body. 25 And behold, men passed by and
saw the body thrown in the road and the lion
standing by the body. And they came and told it in
the city where ythe old prophet lived.
26 And when the prophet who had brought him
back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man
of God who disobeyed the word of the LORD;
therefore the LORD has given him to the lion, which
has torn him and killed him, according to the word
that the LORD spoke to him.”



So tell me, why god tricked the poor guy? angry
