Jackal and Hyde,
The word teaches us that God is good Almighty All-powerful, and we have no doubt that this believe find widespread knowledge by people who need a survival kit to come through life.
The more inquisitive want to know some more about this and query to words Good Almighty and All-powerful. We know from the Word that he pretend to be All-Good and All-Powerful but is this correct are we not taken in by something for which there is no concrete proof, nor have we any examples for that All-Good and that All-powerful, what we do have are some serious queries about the Goodness of that Word.
If we read the Word we find contradiction upon contradiction, Evil upon Evil instigated by that Word
And fulfilled by that word. Do we really have to understand that when Adam had two sons and one was killed by the other God gave the following instruction to Cain a fugitive and a vagabond shall thou be in the Earth. We beg ignorance but there was Adam and Eve plus Cain as Abel was dead, does God said fugitive and if so, from what, there were only three of them. A vagabond where is that coming from as there were only three. In addition, were that vagabond coming in from, as they could not know what that was as there was never one before.
Therefore, Cain left and went to the land of Nod, and miracle O miracle there he found suddenly a wife, the bible does not explain were that one was coming from there East of Eden as what ever other were born out of Adam and Eve they could not have been already in the East of Eden. The Bible does not give any indication of any other children by Adam and Eve, so here we have a real question mark.
Not only he found himself a non-existing wife but he also builds a city, for what a handful of people.
Let us not forget we taken the Bible as the Word as being instructed by the Christian doctrine.
So let us go back to the original set-up. Here we have Adam and Eve with there sons Cain and Abel.
Cain slew Abel after this Adam had a son named Seth after that he had sons and daughters.
We suddenly notice that God has more sons see Genesis 6:2-4 and Giants, there must be things he did not tell us, not only that the sons of God took the daughters of man whom bare children to them. In addition, if we read the book of Enoch we see that not only God had more then one son, but behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones.
Heaven there must be a place, to house all those sons who took the daughters of man and were Giants or as Enoch said Angels or what ever is nearest and then there ware the ten thousand holy ones. Heaven must be quickly becoming a rather crowdie place. It is in the book of Enoch that the translation is not sons of God. However, of angels who lusted after the daughters of man.
The book of Enoch also explains the Giants being children of the daughters of man taken by the sons of God or angels whatever comes first. And the Giants were three thousand ells in height.
We are now right in story land. What still is not clear that if the giants were evil, and they did not obey the Lords commands. Why did he not kill them alone why destroy all life and plants, and maybe the humans were at fault but what about the plants and the animals, why kill them all rather sadistic for an All-Good God.
And all had not be needed if the Almighty not had planted the forbidden tree, the way of that puzzles many, the best we can think of that he did not found what he created that good and did build in a way out.
Now for the real world, of course the Bible is the Word but does it need to be so taken literary, after all it took thousands of years before even the smallest of characters were invented and the written down stories are only in time consume reasoned. The rest was transferred from generation to generation. We all know what storytellers can do. They make the story larger or smaller, more exiting or less leave evil out or brought more in just as what the public wanted. Then sifting through the stories which only can be done in the light of those stories and the earliest known written stories such as the epic of Gilgamesh and the Enuma Elish the dead sea scrolls and the Hebrew stories.
All those stories adding up to one thing, there is a God who Created Heaven and Earth although in the writers opinion not in the time limited of Genesis but over an much longer period, There was and that is without any doubts Jesus Christ, the learnings from him and his followers are well known.
So if we simple come back with two feet on Earth. Then leave out the Hebrew History, the Semitics, the Sumerians the Amorites stories. And we stick with Christianity while using the Hebrew bible as a back up as how it all started. Then we can bring back the Christianity to peoples life, as the many stories what make up the old Testament create to many doubt as with the more knowledgeable human beings of our time calculating questions will be asked and the answers are not fort coming other then silly explanation as were every slightly intelligent person will stick through within seconds.
By doing so yet another soul is lost because if they have doubt about the Old Testament then doubt creeps also in for the New Testament and if that does happen there interest is lost.
We have unfortunately to many so called Christians who are stuck in a dogma to believe all what is in the Book must be correct because it is in the Book, we hope that who ever read this will feel as we feel, There is a God and Jesus Christ and we cannot pass by on the incredibility of the Creation which we see daily, but we have to accept that next to the incredibility of the Creation there are others who prefer Evil and do Evil, and only by strengthening our lines we can defeat them.
