Today I was basically Genesis chapters 3 - 6. Right off the bat I was struck with a thought. At the beginning of Chapter 3 its Even talking to the Serpent about the tree of good & evil. Eve says I can not the Lord said I would die. The Serpent comes back with "You will surely not die". Just as plan and simple as that. Reminds me of being a kid on the playground at school and having the bully tell me to jump off the monkey bars! My point is is it is such an obvious contradiction, and yet we DAILY get caught in the same exact thing. In a way it makes me so upset that I allow myself to be a sucker of blatant stupidity! Its the same thing - God says "Love me with all your heart, and love your neighbor as if he were you" (that's a paraphrasing!) And yet I will daily make choices that contradict that... the human nature is so frustrating. By the grace of God my choices will get stronger and better!
Now I have a question for you - Where do you think Cain's wife came from? I researched it a little this morning and didn't realize it was such a controversial conversation! I guess Scholars us this as a debate against all Christianity and a way to void out the entire Bible... who new! The answer that I came about after my research was she was still a daughter of Adam and Eve. We know that Adam and Eve had more children than Able, Cain, and Seth - they just were not mentioned. So that is my answer - what is yours???
