Genesis 4:1 Take note of who is saying "I have gotten a man from the Lord". It is Eve, the one who had already been beguiled by the serpent, so we know she was capable of getting things wrong. In one sense, she was correct; in that all life comes from the Lord as creator of heaven and earth and He created life with a reproductive seed principle. She does not state who is the father, merely that she has gotten a man. Note also that Adam did not "know" Eve a second time before Eve gave birth to Able. Twins in the womb from different fathers is what is being recorded here. A biological event that has since been proven to be possible. Note also why Adam called the woman Eve: it was because she was the mother of all living. Nowhere does the Bible say that Adam was the father of all living. In fact, much scripture indicates that Adam was not.
Sorry, I don't understand the reasons for quoting 1 Corinthians 14:33 and 2 Timothy 3:16 in this particular context.
When I was in Rome carrying the Cross, I ran into a precious family of Ex -JW's
Who were diligently passing out salvation tracts to everyone in front of the Main Train station in Rome.
My friend Brian who was carrying a cross with me recognized The Father of the family. His name was Eric Gresingobber. Brian said the Eric had came to Christ for the Nations while Brian was enrolled and taught the students how to witness to JW'
Apearantly he and his family were high up in the watchtower society when the whole family got saved.
The Father and Mother and two 20 year old sons were with an Ex- Catholic Preist who was married to an Ex- Catholic Nun. This team who were like the black sheep of their past were passing out Tracts and preaching JESUS to everything that moved.
They were a great blessing to Brian and I, as we had ran out of salvation tracts and were hitting print shops to make more. They gave us thousands of them.
Eric would ask me each day if I was going over to the moslem area again.
He enjoyed listening to the battle I would have with them, when they would sworn around me demanding of what I thought about Mohammed.
I have watched JESUS fall on them as I spoke HIS Word.
KJV -Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
NIV - Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body,
but whoever sins sexually,
sins against their own body.
Thank you for your reply and I appreciate your comments. I guess we take a different view over what is biblical and what is not... and that's ok, so long as we earnestly contend for THE FAITH that was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 1:3.
The fact that there are children of God and children of the devil is clear wherever I read in the Bible, so that much is Biblical. It's all about predestination: Cain/Able, Jacob/Esau ( Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated) Jesus Christ/Judas Iscariot.
Jesus chose his words carefully in Mat 23:33. He knew precisely to whom he was speaking. Consider also 2Pet2 and Jude 1:10 and think about those brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed. How were they made and why? There are many other examples in the Bible that should prove to the reader the fact of two predestinated groups, one ordained to life, the other, much larger in number, destined for the lake of fire. We have a just and loving God. He is interested only in His own children, the children of the devil have their purpose in time but not in eternity.
Understanding the "mechanics" of how it all came about as part of God's master plan of being a saviour is wonderful to a true child of God. The two "lines" didn't come about by eating apples or any other botanical fruit. No, please read the early chapters of Genesis again... there's more to learn of the truth there.
Jeshurun means 'upright one or blessed one'. It was a term of endearment applied to Jacob (Israel) as God's beloved, His special people. We see the word appearing in Isaiah 44:1,2; Deuteronomy 32:15, 33:5, 33:26,27.
Even though Israel often failed the God Who loved them dearly & provided for them, God still waited for them to return to Him & love Him instead of idols. God still through all this spiritual adultery, called them "Jeshurun".
2.That the forces of Islam will be defeated in Nigeria
3.Let my hearing God's voice become part of my life.
4.Let millions be converted through my books and tracts.
5.Let ever sickness in my body be healed.
Your pleas for help & guidance in this matter is indicative of God speaking to you by His Spirit. As the Bible says in John 16:8, "And when he (the Spirit) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement". That is the Holy Spirit Who does more than being the Comforter, Guide & Minister to our spirits; He also convicts whenever sin enters in, He speaks to us of right (holy) living, & He warns of God's Judgement. Many reject God & His Gospel & are headed for certain fiery judgement, even when they feel the tug upon their hearts. But you have not only sensed that 'tug' in your spirit, but now wanting to set things right - and this is the first step to healing & restoration.
We have a saying: "there is no sin that His Blood cannot cover". Jesus' Blood shed for you, was applied when you first came to Him & still avails for you even now. Jesus said in John 6:37, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." This is His Promise that the salvation He gave you, not only made you a child of God, but also promises that your Father, Who longs for His prodigal daughter to return, is not willing to reject you for anything.
Come to Him just as you are, read the Scriptures (maybe John's Gospel), praying & seeking forgiveness - let His Spirit speak to you through them - He WILL assure your heart.
That brings up another thorny issue. Homosexuality as a "choice" is one thing. However, genetics can confuse sexual identity as well! These persons are the most complex and should NOT be confused with persons who CHOSE the life. Genuine Genetic homosexuals must trust Christ for their Salvation and their sanity. Every ones walk with Christ is personal and God gives GRACE! The most important thing to say to God to keep from GIVING HIM UP is this...LORD, you know my failings. But in spite of MY failings I will Always Declare YOU ARE RIGHT AND HOLY! FOR BETTER OR WORSE I THROW MYSELF ON YOUR MERCY. AMEN.
This declaration from your heart will help you to cling to God when OTHER CHRISTIANS SAY "YOU" HOMOSEXUALS are Not Worthy. GOD is able and willing to keep you SAVED if you declare HIM to be RIGHT. Christ Died for you, those Christians did not. Satan wants you to abandon God, because Satan wants to drive you insane.
One day our flesh will no longer be at odds with God's Spirit [in] us. Because as Paul says when this flesh goes back to dust, we will receive our SINLESS GLORIFIED BODIES! ALLELUYAH!!!
Jesus said "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM HE, ye shall die in your sins" You must confess that Jesus (I) AM (He) The One True God or you will die in your sins. In Isaiah 43:10 God says you are a witness that the servant he has chosen that you may know, believe, and understand that I (God) AM (He) Jesus. The Son of God is the Father manifested in the flesh.
But then again you can only call Jesus LORD by the Holy Ghost (1 Corn 12:3) so until the Holy Ghost shows you,, but you should looking to God for answers not a MAN. Praying for you
I noticed you said you make 'good money' but struggle financially. Your statement tells me both the problem and the solution. The problem is not that you don't make enough money, the problem must be how you manage it- your saving and spending habits. By chance have you heard of Dave Ramsey and his information on managing money? You can see most of the information for free online and on YouTube.
What's interesting is that income doesn't have much to do with how stable someone is financially. Poor people with low incomes can still save and some have done so and have become quite wealthy later in life. But other poor people spend what little money they receive right away and have nothing left over- often debt. On the other hand you also have people with a high income- some spend responsibly and save and have security, but others spend it all and have no financial security, but dept. Many millionaires have gone bankrupt from poor money management habits. So, some people with low income can be more rich and prosperous than those with a high income.
What's really hard for people is humbling themselves and lowing their income, because they don't want to lower their luxurious lifestyle. People do it, but people end up feeling entitled to a certain lifestyle and is very hard to break it. It will take discipline, but can it be done? Of course, if you stopped spending so much money you of course would recover. Programs like Dave Ramsey with a support system might help break bad spending and money habits.
God bless!
encouraged to reach out to my female neighbors and encourage the study of God's Word. The loneliness for even me is a challenge. But bless God, He always hears and answers the desire or our heart, to do HIS will.
Please pray for me as I reach out to the women here in my senior housing community. Loneliness is one of the enemies
tools with seniors; with the lock down and fewer visitors.
I need your prayers and any encouragement, tools/fun Bible studies for senior women you may have. (12-15 women)
Please pray for me, and that You will help with some type of interesting, even fun study in Gods Word for senior women.
Blessings

I have heard that story about Satan being Cain's father but it's not biblical.
Genesis 4:1
And [Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain], and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
God bless you and your family.
Kind Regards

In verse 3 we read that four people bore him up on a bed (stretcher) to bring him to Jesus (through the roof as the entrance to the house was blocked with people). In accordance with this display of great faith (by the sick man & those who carried him), Jesus was able to heal him.
