BIBLE READ-THROUGH: Day 1 (GENESIS 1-28:22): Reflection and Discussion

Ok, i just started reading Exodus 5. Aaron and Moses go before Pharaoh to do as God commanded, and that was to tell Pharaoh to let His people go.

What do you think was in Pharaoh's mind when they said this to him?

What does Pharaoh do?.

Pharaoh does just what God wanted him do, resist until all the plagues have been poured out. That was done as it was God showing Christ how to pour out the 7 vials of wrath. Sodom'fire is also in Re:16 as well as Jesus playing the role of the angel of death.

To that extent, the exile to Neb's Babylon was also set up by God so a few things would unfold the way He wanted them to unfold.

For readers that follow the water crossing event from Exodus:14, if you read along while looking at a map of the area, it would appear the Bittern Lakes play a role. Where the big body meets the small body is where Moses camped on the west side. The strong east wind blew water from the small lake into the big lake. In the morning Moses crossed on the damp sand, when the soldiers tried to follow the wind stopped and the water came back as a fast moving flash flood.
The soldiers kept to the road while Moses went 'off-road'.

Ex:14:1-2:
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel,
that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea,
over against Baal-zephon:
before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

Anybody exterminated in the exodus wars were 6 fingered people. Children were captured in the nations that were made up of 6 fingered people.

Ex:7:13-14:
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart,
that he hearkened not unto them;
as the LORD had said.
And the LORD said unto Moses,
Pharaoh's heart is hardened,
he refuseth to let the people go.

Is that because God knew Pharaoh's heart? Did He know that Pharaoh had no regard for Him and never would?

Hi Wayne. Just curious, where is it written about six fingered people?

Thank you kindly.

We know which humans wrote the Constitution.

We supposedly know which humans wrote the x'tians bible.

Notice the commonality? Humans.

No god wrote anything. Humans declared the x'tians bible divinely inspired.

What is this 'bless' of which you speak?

Why don't you take your BS somewhere else?

Can't you comment on the ghey thread, instead?
Seems to be your mentality.

I hunt wookies ...

It means that we mean someone well, and that love and generosity are poured out on said person in various ways. We say this in the form of a prayer on their behalf to the God we are discussing in this thread.

You're wasting your time with this one.

It only seeks to mock God ...

Thank you.

However, God does not fear being mocked.

Flowers grow in junkyards. Is there a day 2 thread?

:)

This is the only discussion thread.

hahahaaa

love the smilies.

:O)

Random question(s) from Genesis 5:

What was the name of Enoch's father?

What was unusual about Enoch?

Enoch 'walked with God'. [Mentioned twice!]
He died at the very YOUNG age of 365 .. or rather God took him at 365 years old.

His father Jared lived to be 962!

Enoch's son Methuselah (oldest human) lived to be 969 years old.

Interestingly, Noah was also mentioned as one who 'walked with God'.

My opinion is that Enoch and Noah actually walked with God (Jesus) and in His Ways, while the world sunk in violence and depravity.

So you're going to claim that what Jesus SAID is "flawed"??
Here's the KJV verses I referenced for the list above.

1. Father God SENT Jesus. (47 times in the 4 Gospels)
The word "sent" occurs 130 times in 125 verses in Matthew thru John in the KJV.

Jesus SPECIFICALLY states that He was "SENT" 47 times


2. Father God TAUGHT Jesus. John 5:19 & John 8:28

8. Father God GAVE Jesus power over all flesh. John 17:2

17:2 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

Back again with your doctrine of demons??

I'm going to claim that Jesus received worship of men and angels, therefore He is God.

If you cannot make that deduction and connection, then you are lost with a fake messiah.

Yes, i noticed that too, that both Enoch and Noah walked with God.

and they all lived a long long time back then.....

Methuselah lived almost 1000 years!

this is fascinating.....

NONSENSE.
You keep making statements but
NEVER back them up with scripture.

Where are the words "triune" or "trinity" in the Bible?
NOT there.
It's a pagan "perception" / belief applied to Father God, His Son and the Holy Spirit.

The concept didn't even exist until the 2nd Century.

The "Trinity" didn't exist - nor was even taught by Jesus OR the Apostles.

The first of the early church fathers to be recorded using the word "Trinity" was Theophilus of Antioch writing in the late 2nd century.

He defines the Trinity as God, His Word (Logos) and His Wisdom (Sophia) in the context of a discussion of the first three days of creation, following the early Christian practice of identifying the Holy Spirit as the Wisdom of God.

The first defense of the doctrine of the Trinity was in the early 3rd century by the early church father Tertullian. He explicitly defined the Trinity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and defended his theology against "Praxeas",[47] though he noted that the majority of the believers in his day found issue with his doctrine.

.....

The filioque ("and the Son") wasn't added to the Nicene Creed until the Council of Toledo in 589. It was basically the FULL beginning of the "God the Son" trinity.

Who has the wrong doctrine?
Can you not READ what Jesus said?
You were spoon-fed WHAT to believe
and HOW to believe and defend it.

How is it that the verses I post are NEVER taught by pastors seminarys???

Because they go against your "trinity".

Are you here simply to argue with believers and push your doctrines of demons?

The Trinity has been orthodox for nearly 2000 years.
Now you come along with your cult and say something else?

You are exactly who Jesus warned us about.

Sidenote for additional reading- John Morris has a great book on the Flood proofs and conditions on the earth pre-Flood. [which enabled men to live nearly 1000 years]

Enoch certainly is an interesting character; such short mentions of him in scripture make me curious.

What i find interesting is that Enoch didn't "die".

God just "took" him....

And this is the first time i noticed that it is written that Noah also walked with God.

Fascinating.

Yes, much like Elijah and even Moses ... God took them.

But I don't want to be the spoiler for some great chapters to come!

Genesis is a looooooong book hahaaa

and it is interesting how God intercepted each of His servants lives when it was timd to depart, one way or the other.

What else caught my attention is that when God cursed the snake, aka Satan, the snake "lost his legs" hahahaa

I tried to post yesterday but couldn’t.

Quick points on yesterday’s reading


Bloodlines are obviously important to God, but it seems primarily male bloodlines. Women are hardly mentioned and when they are it seems all they want is to have kids.

having children with first cousin, aunt etc is not a problem and does not cause all kind of birth defects. Which is not the case in nature and inbreeding will cause all kinds of birth issues


the people God tells Abraham etc to kill are they not also their relatives via Noah and his three sons?

today’s text

I am not sure I understand why God intentionally hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so he could unleash multiple plagues and death. The only thing that sort of make sense is that the gods the Egyptians worshipped are variations of Satan and fallen angels, and God was showing Moses and all that he was the one true God and the others were powerless imposters.


I like as a manservant you can be set free after seven years but not if you are a maidservant.
.

One more thing when Jacob is giving out his blessings to his sons why is Dan associated with a snake. Snake invokes imagery of satan and they garden of eden, so odd Jacob would use similar imagery

2Sa:21:20-22:
And there was yet a battle in Gath,
where was a man of great stature,
that had on every hand six fingers,
and on every foot six toes,
four and twenty in number;
and he also was born to the giant.
And when he defied Israel,
Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.
These four were born to the giant in Gath,
and fell by the hand of David,
and by the hand of his servants.

Nu:13:33:
And there we saw the giants,
the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants:
and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight.

Ge:6:4:
There were giants in the earth in those days;
and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them,
the same became mighty men which were of old,
men of renown.

Yes, this is puzzling....

there are other snake references as well, for instance when Moses, later on, holds up a brazen snake, i think, for healing of the people....

interesting....
