Where did Cain obtain his food and wife?

[sincerly]

Just read your post, Sincerely. If I follow your thinking here it seems we can shape-shift any reading out of any religious text to fit our belief, no matter what it says. Don't you feel that sometimes we have to take meanings at face value? Like the bearded guy said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

BSM, I am of the persuasion that one who is seeking to be in the presence of the Almighty GOD to adjust one's "beliefs" to fit what the LORD GOD has declared HIS MESSAGES TO BE.
No! The way to obtain the Truth is staying with the Context given rather than giving a verse a face-lift to please one's erroneous understanding.
Erroneous conclusions are easily to detect as a smelly cigar.

So, I'm confused, are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

Isn't that all any of us can do? Everyone has to find their own truth.

Does your second comment give you a hint?

uuhh..no

 

[sincerly]

uuhh..no

"One's own truth"---Anytime one looks for/seeks "one's own truth", then that is a belief that is pleasing to them.
Since one has the freedom of choice, has the one accepted the Truth of the contexual message(written or spoken) or a contradictory conclusion to all the knowledge given by GOD upon the subject.
Man's knowledge/understanding concerning the Creation by GOD has been limited from the completion of Creation.(Preferring to get information from other sources than the "manufacturer's handbook".)

umm..I'm not sure but I believe you're making my case for me. As apparent from this forum if you get three people trying to decide what God means or wants you get four different opinions. I'm saying each person has to decide for themselves what "truth" is for them.

 

[Me Myself]

I believe everything in my mind as well as yours has been set straight. Don't you? Once again, it is not a debate thread.

It is in general reilgious debates

 

[outhouse]

not questioning the validity of your post, Outhouse, but to answer the question we have to deal with the information we're given

well then the answer is, there was never a Cain or wife or food.

 

[BSM1]

I'm ok with that, Outhouse. I truly believe life is a concrete illusion; meaning there are certain physical laws we have to obey-gravity, time, etc. So there may or may not have been anything before or after us. Everything we think existed, or exists, or may exist may not be there at all. But what I believe is important is what we do with the information we're given.

By the way, I think the Little Rascals may have summed it up best when they said "Maybe we ain't us."

Then we are in disagreement as to the topic, but as I stated, the Choosing concerning The Bible and the Creator GOD revealed in its contents---ALL will make that choice as to whether it is truth or myth. Your decision.

 

[BSM1]

I don't feel it's a question of truth or myth, I think it's simply a question of perception.

Yes, we are "US", and "What...is important is what we do with the information we're given."

Outhouse said: """there was never a Cain or wife or food.""", however, People exist and there are still "wives" and "food" to be had. Therefore, the choices are do they exist by spontaneous combustion from nothing---and there is no evidence that this theory is fact. Mankind has yet to reproduce something from nothing.
OR we believe that the Bible is true and the evidence we see of terra firma, vegetation, and fauna was produced as that Bible says.
One can choose to believe the evidence is seen and can not be reproduced, OR that which is sustained moment by moment by the Creator GOD.(I choose HIM).

Thar ya go, Sincy. You have found your own truth. Congratulations.

What I see, feel, hear, taste, smell, isn't an illusion, but is real. I am, also, NOT an illusion, but real---here responding to you.

Thank you. However, it isn't my truth, but the facts which the Holy Spirit inspired in those Scriptures.

That is going further off-topic.

well there are things in life that are concrete and not a illusion.

this story is allegory based through mythology. not a mystery or illusion.




if we all take that attitude, nothing would ever be known or studied, but most importantly. learned.

 

[outhouse]

not relevant, because most people see the percieved color of red.

And of course some people use the call for evidence as a crutch for denial.
Can't past whatever is handed them.
