I have a few questions about Christianity. Who were the wives of Adam & Eve's sons, Cain, Abel and Seth? Were the sibling marriages allowed back then or I'm dumb?

Adam and Eve had about 50 children in the end, they were genetically perfect so the usual danger of inbreeding wasn't there. Sibling relations were allowed out of necessity

It doesn't really matter since Genesis isn't supposed to be a literal historical account

>>978857
why there is such no information about others? (i mean their children)

Because only Cain and Abel were worthy of note.

You're dumber than a rock.

First the world was already populated (albeit by the people of the devil), second fucking your mom isn't a sin, nor is gathering carnal pleasure any kind of sin.

Sins in the bible are made up bullshit by satan.

Satan hates mankind, so all that makes us good and holy, he disagrees with and wants us like pussies.

Just consider this: who is the hero of the story?

a) Guy walks into gang of rapists of a female, washes their feet, greets them correctly, smiles and loves them, kisses their foreheads, gives them alms, and offers the other cheek when mocked and hit.
b) Guy kills them and gets sucked off by the damsel.

>>978808
Daughters of Adam and Eve. Of course, Abel never survived to marry.

We all come from Adam and Eve, and later, from Noah and his wife.

I can't vouch for the source, but this is interesting:

Interestingly, two ancient books written about the time of Christ but not having the authority of inspired Scripture confirm these figures. The Book of Jubilees, whose author is unknown, was written in the second century B.C. and states that Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Paradise seven years [p.49]. Then Eve gave birth to her first child, Cain, between the ages of 64-70, or the same numbers as the age of the Earth, anno mundi. Eve's second child, Abel, was born seven years later – between the years 71-77 anno mundi [p.51]. The total number of Adam's children is not given in this work; however, it is found as a footnote in The Works of Josephus where it states: "The number of Adam's children, as says the old tradition, was 33 sons and 23 daughters." In view of their longevity, these appear to be reasonable figures while it would have to be said that, sinners though they were, Adam and Eve had faithfully obeyed God's first commission to: "be fruitful and multiply …" [

This thread seems appropriate, I have a question about Christianity, any answers would be nice.

So this is coming from someone with essentially no knowledge of christianity at all, so bear with me. Here's a 'pre'-question:

Heaven is paradise right? So would what humans consider to be really enjoyable things on Earth translate over to heaven? i.e. good food, sex, fine art, relaxation, beautiful landscapes, music, chilling with friends etc. I'm particularly interested in whether or not sex is okay/allowed/encouraged/enjoyed in heaven.

If the answer is yes, Earthly pleasures continue in heaven, then that leads on to my primary question: How would a paedophile, who has never molested or hurt a child in any way fair in heaven?

Of course there is a difference between paedophilia and child molestation, so hypothetically if someone is a paedophile (i.e. they are sexually attracted to children, something which is no more their fault than someone being gay and which they cannot change in much the same way) but has never molested a child, firstly would they be allowed into heaven? And secondly, would they be allowed sex with children (either real or essentially perfect simulacra) if earthly pleasures are continued into heaven?

For all intents and purposes they have suffered their whole life not being able to fulfil their sexual desires, does this not count towards some reparation in heaven?

I was reviled by your post. Please forgive me. I will attempt to give you a better response.

Christianity is the confession that Jesus is Lord, that He is God, and that He rose from the dead having paid for the sins of the world. All of the sins of the world. Including the sins that hurt children. Jesus took all of those sins onto Himself, suffered the wrath of God for all of them, and then died, bearing them all into the grave.

You are not barred from heaven by your sins, or by your temptations, but by your unbelief. You are barred from heaven because you are spiritually dead, and there is no place for the dead in the Kingdom of God. The dead get separated out into the lake of fire.

Because Jesus took your sins, and my sins, and the sins of the world onto Himself, God in His mercy and grace offered mankind the free gift of His salvation; He offers Himself.

If you confess with your mouth, that is to say out loud, that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. The Holy Spirit will enter into you, and resurrect you to eternal life.

And drive out the demons tormenting you.

If this is what you want, declare to the universe that Jesus is your Lord, knowing He rose from the dead, right now.

And know that heaven is better than anything you can imagine, because God promised us that, and God always keeps His promises.

>>
>>979404
I did answer, and you glossed right over it.

Heaven is better than you can imagine because God made us that promise, and He keeps His word.

Likewise, hell is worse than you can imagine, and as you show no inclination to be transformed into a living being, your eternity stretches out before you in dark fire.

>entry into heaven

You only get this one life and that's it.
What's my proof? Every dead corpse. Have you ever seen a dead human body? I have, and it looks exactly like a dead animal. In Iraq, I saw dead children. No spirit flew out of them to heaven. Nothing. Just dead.

Heaven is cute thing human beings dance around in their head, consistently reinforced by circular logic of a self proclaimed holy book. But the reality is, when you're dead, you're dead. What is this like? Probably much like how it was before you were born, a non-being state.

When you've seen enough dead human beings, and notice how they look exactly like other dead creatures, lifeless, nothing special, then you know there is nothing to come. We are just a tiny life form spinning around on a tiny blue planet with other billions of solar systems, billions of galaxies, billions of galaxies. We are so fucking insignificant it becomes comical.

But the Christians here are going to tell you that THEY KNOW who created it all; the fucking balls on these guys, the arrogance.

Furthermore, they aren't just going to tell you THEY KNOW, but they have a personal relationship. Again, the lack of humility is profound.

There is no difference between a dead guy on the side of the road, and a dead dog. When you've seen enough dead bodies, you see it's all the same.

" The practice of some subsequent nations of permitting the royal families, supposedly descended from the gods, to marry brother to sister, dates from the traditions of the Adamic offspring — mating, as they must needs, with one another."

The joy in heaven isn't really like on earth.
Heaven is infinitely great, and any earthly pleasure is not.
Being in Heaven is being in communion with God, who is infinitely great.
There is no carnal pleasures in heaven, or rather, there is no need for them; God suffices.
When it comes to sex as you asked, we know that sex outside of marriage is a sin. In Matt. 22:23-33, God tells us that in heaven we won't be married (marriage is "until death do us apart", and to come to Heaven you have to die first).
So since in Heaven you aren't married and having sex outside marriage is a sin, you can't have sex in Heaven.
>>
>>979517
So in other words, everything that makes life on Earth pleasurable is banned in Heaven: instead, we get to worship God for eternity. An eternal church service.

Hell sounds better.
>>
>>979454
Sorry, snowflake, that might mean something to someone else, but you're talking to a USMC combat vet who rode down the road to hell coming out of Kuwait.

You think it's arrogant to believe God, and be adopted by God, but the real arrogance is setting yourself up over God to be the arbiter of reality.

And the reality is that you're a sick fuck.

When you're ready to deal with that, Jesus is ready to deal with you.

You're literally an idiot.

There are a lot of people.

God is taking some of them to heaven. The rest are going to hell. If you want to be taken to heaven, you have to ask. You have to surrender. You have to be adopted, and become a living being for the first time in your life.

Not telling people this is literally watching them march blindly to their death.

>Heaven is paradise right? So would what humans consider to be really enjoyable things on Earth translate over to heaven?
I think you have a very pop-cultural view of Heaven, as a sort of "hedonist reward for good works".

In most Christian doctrine it is understood that creation is "fallen", so the desires that man has now are imperfect or affected by the curse of sin in some way, which is caused by separation from God. Sinful man is also condemned to eternal death (or torment, but I won't get into the question of the nature of Hell here and leave that to better theologians than I).

The basic idea is that Jesus Christ offered up his life as a sacrifice to atone for human sin, and thus allow humans to once again be in God's presence, if they are willing to accept it. Heaven is spending an eternity in God's presence, who as humanity's Creator is able to fulfill their true needs that people attempt to fill with their desires. There is an implication as well throughout the New Testament that an eternity with God will also be accompanied by some sort of physical and/or mental transformation.

It's "paradise", but not in the hedonistic sense that pop-culture tends to think about it.

In that case, no. The idea is that the root of human earthly desire is to fill a part of themselves that only God can fill, and those desires are in turn warped by sin. Christianity asserts that God can and will transform those desires in the believer.
>>
>>979517
I'm sure being in communion with god is great and all, but what is wrong with enjoying earthly pleasures as well? I mean you have eternity, taking a few hundred years here or there to explore the depths of sexuality means nothing in the billions and trillions of aeons you have in heaven.

2 Peter 3
... knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

why not both?

sure I get what you mean, but really 'greatest' is subjective. For example, most people have a food they consider the 'greatest'/their favourite, but there's almost nobody on earth who wants their favourite food every meal. Likewise, communion with god might be nice, but for eternity? People get bored, people get restless, they want change every now and then. In my case I want my wife.

That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;

the decree to rebuild Jerusalem was given in the first month of the 20th year of his reign by King Artaxerxes of Persia (March of 445 BC on our calendar, about 90 years later).

About 125 years ago Sir Robert Anderson unlocked the secret of Daniel’s 70 weeks when he teamed up with the London Royal Observatory to discover that prophetic years are 360 days in length and consist of 12 months of 30 days each. This is also the only way you can make the three measures of the Great Tribulation (1260 days, 42 months, or 3 1/2 years) come out the same. Therefore the 70 weeks of Daniel consist of 490 years of 360 days each. He published this discovery in a book called The Coming Prince, a commentary on Daniel’s 70th Week.

From their research we also know that exactly 483 years after the decree of Artaxerxes the Lord Jesus rode in to Jerusalem on a donkey to shouts of “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 19:38)! It was the only day in His life that He permitted His followers to proclaim Him as Israel’s King, fulfilling Daniel’s prophecy to the day! The Hebrew in Daniel 9:25 calls Him Messiah the Prince, denoting the fact that He was coming as the Anointed Son of the King and was not yet crowned King Himself.

>jesus was not made, he was god, but god cannot die, so jesus didn't die, so he didn't sacrifice himself (himself being an unmade god but also at the same time a mortal man or else how could he be sacrificed) to save us from our sins
is that about right?

Our God is One.

God came down from heaven and manifested in the flesh, so that He might die for the forgiveness of our sins, not His.

So your sins are forgiven you; all but one, and that one you're committing right now.

I have some question for Catholics. For background, I'm Muslim.

1. What does the Pope really do? Is he like your leader or infallible or what?

2. What is a synod?

3. Whenever the Church releases one of those new documents that are like 200+ pages long, do you actually read it? Or does your priest read it for you? How do you keep up with this?
>>
>>979863
Angels can take the form of men.

That does not make them male. And the Sodomites did not try to solicit them, but rape them.

>>979850
But he has a dick, balls and everything. related question: while on earth did Jesus ever have an erection? did he ever look at a women and his body automatically reacted to it by pitching the tent? by what process did he get it to become flacid again? did he pray to God to get rid of it like this: "Oh God Oh God Oh God- YES! Thank you sweet mother of God!

Jesus never sinned, so whatever portions of your depraved questions rely on Jesus sinning, the answer is no.

no, for the specific 7 years for a prophetic week

Yes. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is proof Jesus never sinned.

Had Jesus sinned, He would have remained in the grave to pay for His sin. He would have been a sinner, blemished, with defects, and an unsuitable sacrifice before God.

For three days. He was in Paradise, Abraham's Bosom, for three days and nights, and then rose, leading those captives free. He did that to provide the Jews with the sign of Jonah, which He promised them.

Had Jesus sinned, He would not have risen from the dead. Offerings not accepted by God do not rise directly up to God.
>>
>>979877
so you are saying that having an erection itself is a sin and praying to God to get rid of it is also a sin? that would mean that we know for sure that Jesus sinned because it isn't possible for a man to never have an erection. even some prepubescent kids get them occassionally

The only reality is how much of a shithole Latin America and Africa - where Cucktianity abounds - are. Thankfully, as they develop, adherence to Cucktianity or Islam drops, so that's a good sign.

No I don't, and that is an honest answer. People claiming their supernatural claims like reincarnation, or heaven are the the ones who are projecting. THEY are the ones who are not being honest.

That being said, we can look at what we do know about death, these are the physical characteristics of death, and the decomposing process that takes place, and in these regards, there is no difference between a dead dog on the side of the road and a dead child.

Paul knows Jesus better than the rest of the apostles combined, and knows the New Covenant better than all of them put together.

When we say "Jesus is alive", we're not kidding.

And yes, Matthew and Mark were writing in the 40's. And all of them, but for the Revelation, were completed before 70 AD. Revelation was finished in 95 AD, 63 years after Jesus rose from the dead.

Zero conflicting reports. Zero.

There's a couple of new books out dealing with early dating the gospels. From what I gather, the late dates are merely people who do not believe in prophecy.

I'm not sure I have one to make aside from the aforementioned idea of athiests being as dogmatic and bigoted as theists.

I want to understand why christians believe the way they do and atheists, I believe there is more to the universe than what my senses reveal, maybe some other person or ideology knows a bit more than me, maybe not. I won't know unless I listen though, to tell one side that you know they are wrong and you are right is unproductive.

If you know they are wrong then why waste your time discussing it? I've never stopped to argue the crackhead spewing lies because I know I would learn nothing
