For if
God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven
others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction,
making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day
after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.

It seems the most likely scenario is that he married his sister or less likely his niece.The reasoning is that Adam and Eve lived alot longer and continued to have sons and daughters GEN5: 4 aCTS 17:26 Paul tells us that the
God who
made the world hath
made of one blood all nations of man to dwell on all the face of the earth.Cain did nt marry to another tribe or nation as every man and women was a relative and of the same bloodline of Adam and Eve.The importance of this is that sin entered through one man Adam and is past through the bloodline so redemption is only possible through the same bloodline.So for the formula to work the human genome had to stay the same no
other tribes or nations just the descendents of Adam and Eve.It also solves another riddle in that satan at various times prior to the flood and
after the flood tried to contaminate the bloodline by his angels having sexual relations with the women this created a type of alien in essence and would have not been able to have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus as it wasnt fully human.This is where the giants came from and why
God wanted to destroy them as they had the potential to destroy the human race as they couldnt be redeemed by the blood of Jesus.Interesting?
Inspiration
makes it possible to achieve a theology which, to use the old terms, is archetypal in relation to

other words, literally thinks
God's thoughts
after him.

God, «All right, see if you can get hold of us!»
In a study of his earlier pictures, Kolker notes that «Scorsese is interested in the psychological manifestations of individuals who are representative either of a class or of a certain ideological grouping; he is concerned with their relationship to each
other or to an antagonistic environment... [and finally] there is no triumph for his characters» (A Cinema of Loneliness [Oxford University Press, 19881, p. 162) The Jesus of the Last Temptation fits this pattern (as do Travis Bickel in Taxi Driver, Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull and Paul Hackett in
After Hours) By eschewing any reference to a resurrection — and, in an interesting theological note, allowing Paul to suggest that his preaching of the risen Christ is more important than the Jesus of history — Scorsese presents the crucifixion as the final willful act of a man driven by a
God who
makes strange demands on his followers.
My humble advise to you is to go and study the history that how, when and who wrote these chapters and what type of time it went through and then say that if there is any statement in this book is the real time statements of Jesus PBUH... please be honest with yourself... and don't do anything to please
others but only you... and
make sure you are convince with this study... whats the difference btwn what is in this book and what was written in a book last year when a Hindu claim himself as
God and millions believed in him and still they believe even
after his death by being ill... no one asks if I take a human as my
God then how could he be ill or eventually be dead?
For instance, one may plan sympathetically for the welfare of
others long
after his death through such actions as
making a will or buying life insurance, and he may enjoy these actions; but he does them not just for his own enjoyment but also for the future recipients of the blessings of his benevolence.11 However, Hartshorne maintains that such universally common altruistic actions can only be fully comprehended rationally by appeal to
God as superhuman mind who ultimately unites all persons and entities in his infinite awareness and memory.
What if decisions were
made, not based on what
other churches or doing, not based on what the church has always done, not based on what the numerous church policies say, but instead only
made after people had sought the truth of

God through prayer, and the leading of
God through reliance on the Holy Spirit?
Unlike
God's work and teachings in this later era, where compassion and kindness for one's fellow man are the whole of the law (by word, but more importantly, in example
after example, that when we think we know
God's law and set forth to

other with dignity, humility and love).
Jeremy I believe you answered the question in another discussion why
God seemed evil by punishing
other nations i prefer the word you used which is judgement.
God weighs up the hearts and then judges fairly thats not evil in fact he weighs up all the factors before he
makes his decision and his decisions are perfect and wise.When he commanded Israel to wipe out
other nations it was
Gods judgement on these nations because of the evil they had committed in alot of ways its exaggerated because they did nt have Christ to shield them like we have if anything it shows how merciful God is towards us today.In those days gods judgement was quick and immediate.What happened to Israel when they broke the laws God gave them they immediately fell into judgement often resulting in many deaths to there own people until the sins of the people were dwelt with.So even for Gods people it was a conditional on there attitude and actions towards God.Again we see God is merciful to these previous nations that were destroyed as Christ after his crucifiction went and preached to them giving them the opportunity to repent so again we see God is still merciful.His word is true The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slown

God enters «this cosmos» not simply to disclose its immanent rationality, but to break the boundaries of fallen nature asunder, and to refashion creation
after its ancient beauty» wherein neither sin nor death had any place.
