enlightened by the study of God’s Holy Word.
Though these subjects are not important to our salvation, some people
still would like to know the why to a lot of questions. Well, here’s my

#1. The
chicken. Genesis
kind, and every winged fowl after his
kind: and God saw that it was good.
So the Bible says God created the fowl. It doesn’t say the egg. So the fowl creates the egg. RETURN
#2. God
banished Cain from the Garden of Eden. Genesis
son, Enoch. So Cain gets a
wife in the
#3. There were evidently lots of other
people at the time. Look closely at God and Cain’s conversation: Genesis
punishment is greater than I can bear. Genesis
And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. So God and Cain were talking about a lot of people who could hurt Cain, and God
said he would get sevenfold vengence. If there were no other people God would have told Cain that there only existed his parents. RETURN
#4. Yes, in Genesis
1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. RETURN
#5. No, I don’t think so. The Bible doesn’t
say anything about Adam and Eve until chapter 2. Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of
the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul. God names him Adam. Genesis
God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and
brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam
called
every living creature, that was the name thereof. Eve comes along here: Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
Genesis
mankind and Cain would have had to marry
his sister. But the Bible says nothing
about other children being born yet. And
do you really think that if he had a
sister back then she would have left home
and moved to another place??? Not likely
at all. So I could be wrong but this is
what I believe. RETURN
#6. In the
Beginning, whenever that was. Genesis 1:1 In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
True science and The Holy Bible do not conflict one
another. The earth could be millions of
years old. We don’t have a clue when
“the beginning” was. RETURN
#7. Let’s look
closely at what Jesus said: 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. The keyword here is “as”. It appears twice. Remember you are reading an English interpretation of The Holy Bible. In English the
words “as” or “like” are similies. They are words that mean similar to…He was saying that one day here is “as” or “like” a thousand years with the Lord. In
other words “with
the Lord” or we could say “in heaven” time doesn’t exist as we know it. RETURN
#8. According to
the Jewish calendar the year 2007 – 2008 is the year 5,769. reference: http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/08_cal.htm
So even if you believe that the
millennial reign begins at the year 6,000, there is still a ways to go. RETURN
#9. There were civilizations before Adam
and Eve. In older versions of The Holy Bible you will see the word “replenish”
in Genesis 9:1
And God blessed Noah
and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Re meaning to “do over” or re-fill. Well surprise!!! God told the males and
females in the
first chapter of the Bible to do the same thing!!! Genesis
replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth.
Unfortunately modern translators replace the word in Genesis 1:28 with “plenish” or “fill”. That way they conveniently get out of dealing with the pre-adamic
world. RETURN
#10. Yes there is much more proof. We know that Lucifer was already a fallen creature when Adam and Eve got here. Read why he was
fallen in: Isaiah
nations! WHAT NATIONS??? It now becomes very clear that it had to be
nations before Adam and Eve. RETURN
#11. Lucifer was ruling on earth at
that time. Isaiah
thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also
upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell,
to the sides of the pit.
#12. Try
reading these scriptures for a perfect description of a fire-breathing dragon,
then look at the Unicorn references.
Job
41:1-21 Canst thou draw out leviathan
with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? [2] Canst thou
put an hook into
his nose? or bore his jaw through with
a thorn? [3] Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft
words unto thee? [4] Will he make a
covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? [5] Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
[6] Shall the companions make a banquet
of him? shall they part him among the merchants? [7] Canst thou fill his skin
with barbed irons? or his head with fish
spears? [8] Lay thine hand upon him,
remember the battle, do no more. [9] Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall
not one be cast down even at the sight of
him? [10] None is so fierce that dare
stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? [11] Who hath prevented me,
that I should repay him? whatsoever is
under the whole heaven is mine. [12] I
will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. [13] Who
can discover the face of his garment?
or Who can come to him with his double
bridle? [14] Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round
about. [15] His scales are his pride,
shut up together as with a close seal.
[16] One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. [17] They
are joined one to another, they stick
together, that they cannot be sundered.
[18] By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of
the morning. [19] Out of his mouth go
burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap
out. [20] Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
[21] His breath kindleth coals, and a flame
goeth out of his mouth.
UNICORNS
found in Job 39:9-10 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or
abide by thy crib? [10] Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the
furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? RETURN
#13. A whale is correct. Science tells us correctly that SOME whales do not have a big enough throat to swallow a man whole. See notes after the scripture.
The Holy
Bible says in: Jonah
three nights. What the scientists miss is the fact that “the Lord had prepared a great fish”. Since God himself prepared the fish He could have used a perch if
he had wanted
to. So it don’t say whale? Yes the scriptures are very clear: Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights
in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Some baleen
whales are up to 100 feet long and 40 feet around, weighing 300,000 lbs. A Mediterranean fish was caught and exhibited
in
a head that
weighed 6 tons. A man standing on the
lower jaw could not reach the upper jaw, the opening being about
8 feet across. The
Literary Digest gave a story of a Mediterranean whale that demolished a harpoon boat. Two men were lost. One was found alive in the whale's belly a day
and a half
after it was killed. James Bartley lived
with no after effects except his skin was tanned by the gastric juices. A pure fish was caught off the
coast that weighed 30,000 lbs. It was 45 feet long and 8 feet thick. It had a 1500 lb. fish in its stomach besides a large octopus. A man could easily stand up
in its stomach. It could have swallowed 10 Jonah's! (quoted from Dake’s Bible commentary) RETURN
#14. The
#15. No it wasn’t the apple on the tree, it was the PAIR on the ground!!! RETURN
#16. No one but God knows for sure. What I would guess is that Atlantis did exist and it was the (or one of the) nations that Lucifer led in revolt against heaven.
Anytime anyone has ever tried to take over God’s business they are brought to ruin. RETURN
