It's like having my eyes opened even wider. God only mentioned the important parts in Genesis. He mentioned only Cain and Abel because the story related directly about them. What God did not mention in Genesis, was that Adam and Eve did not have sex until 223 days after being kicked out of the garden. When Eve delivered, she had twins - Cain and his sister Luluwa. Luluwa was more beautiful than her mother. Then about 3 years later Eve had twins again, Abel and his sister Aklemia. Adam and Eve decided to marry Cain to Aklemia, and Abel to Luluwa. Satan appeared to Cain and planted the idea in his head to kill his brother so he could marry Luluwa. Satan was always there. He caused the first murder with his wicked counsel of problem solving. After killing his brother, and being sent away by God, Cain ran off with Luluwa and married her without his parents consent. They were too busy grieving to keep them apart. Cain and his wife bred like rabbits and multiplied very quickly. Their children and their generations were all wicked. They were sexually immoral, they stole and murdered each other. Adam and Eve did not have sex again until 7 years expired. Then they had Seth. After Seth they did not have sex again. Intriguing. Seth was married to Abel's sister. As their generations multiplied, they were all in the Lord, and constantly commanded never to go near Cain's children. Seth's children were all God fearing, but as time went on, Cain's children tempted them all away with music and dancing. In groups over time, they all left. It reminds me of the pied piper story. Only a few souls did not follow them. These were; 1. Jared, 2. and his Son Enoch, 3. Enoch's son Methuselah, 4. Methuselah's son Lamech, 5. and Lamech's son Noah. So interesting.

But this is extra biblical and cannot be taken as scripture in any form. These can have one formulate thoughts that are not in line with scripture. Why do you like this book that much and what does it contain that excites you that much.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spent the last two hours reading the link provided giving the"forgotten books of Eden". That's two hours of my life that I'll never get back. Words cannot express how angry this document made me. I do not mean to offend anyone, but whoever reads this "book" and believes it does not believe the Bible. It grossly contradicts the Bible in more places than I can count. Why anyone would extol the book, I do not know. I'm creating another thread as I do not wish to derail this one.

I think some readers believe God literally wrote the bible. Unaware of how the canon came into being the reader of what is the closed canon believe no other books could possibly be credible. Also, I think it important to remember tat there are Biblical scholars and New Testament scholars that speak of the many many, thousands even, of manuscripts, fragments, scrolls, parchments, that exist and have been found since the canonization of what is todays closed canon. Closed canon being an issue for many also. It means that what is contained in the 66 books, or 73 in the case of the Catholic bible that includes the Apocrypha, is judged by man to be the last time God will deliver his words to the world.

Guest Thallasa Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 On 27/01/2017 at 8:55 PM, Neighbor said: Actually we may both remember somewhat wrongly. Kind of like that Gracie Allen thread thing. My English texts mention a tree in the middle of the garden. It also mentions this: "Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. Seems to me that God had concern about at least two trees. I make inference from the English text that Adam and the wo-man were likely not partaking of the tree of life before Eve was deceived, and both did eat of the tree in the middle of the garden, -whatever tree that may have been. Within Genesis 2 it is called the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil. My interest is in that other tree. The one that would have provided life evidently in the flesh forever, even after having disobeyed God by eating of the tree in the middle of the garden, plus whether Satan had knowledge of death or not as he picked his strategy and chose his tactics.. Interesting that there are 'scientists ' who are now telling some, mainly very rich people, they can live forever , either with their médicine etc., or that frozen at death, they can be later resuscitated . It is here ,the repeat off the cycle, of the challenge to God's souvereignty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
