Interesting, I never heard of this.

I heard that sons of God can be neaderthals... and probably some few other tries to explain our history, but not this one... any source I could look at?
Here's a leap of faith about the sons of God, before Adam and Eve disobeyed God said be fruitful and multiply, though after the knowledge tree incident, child labor wasn't easy, surely God isn't going to bless them then punished them at the same time,
there were children of God before the disobeying, then after Adam and Eve disobeyed their children became children of the world.

Gen 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Shall we just talk about the weather instead of what we find important? Skies...overcast..
This subject has been discussed here many times already....And don't forget....Jesus had women who were ancestors too. One of those women was a prostitute.....God is NOT against women...So churchianity should not be either.

Interesting thing is that, various colors of eyes and hair developed only in Europe. All the rest of the world has just one eye/hair color.

Scientists think its because of mixing of European homo sapiens with neanderthals who lived in northern Europe. These neanderthals are interesting creatures.
I wonder if Bible mentions them by some term/name. But probably not, because Bible was written in the Middle East.
I reject the theory of evolution, so to me, that is an incredible fantasy about neanderthals that have also not been proven. sorry, I believe in the creation theory.

It seems that you are more interested in dodging the plain meaning of Scripture than anything else.

The very fact the Scripture teaches that women should be silent and wear head coverings in more than one passage should be sufficient for any Christian desiring to obey Scripture. Since that is the case, it should also be obvious that if a woman has an issue regarding the preaching or teaching in her church, she should bring this to the attention of her husband (or father or brother if unmarried) and let them present it to the elders.
ahhhhhh. stupid phone. It deleted my original response. trying again.
what I am looking for is Scriptural evidence against women being silent and covered, I have probably heard all of the emotional arguments and rhetoric from both sides but only scriptural evidence for female silence and covering. If anyone believes that God wants women speaking up in church and teaching men and not wearing head coverings, they should ABSOLUTELY present the scripture supporting that.
I hope this posts because I would rather not type the same thing over.

You can believe in whatever you want, of course.

as do you. I'm glad though that we are open on what we believe so we can understand better where we come from when we talk.

For all the flak that Adam gets, he didn't cut and run when he saw his beautiful bride eat the forbidden fruit, knowing that she'd just condemned herself to death. He entered into death with her. That's what Christ did for us.
If that was Adam's intention, why wouldn't the Bible say that?...and why wouldn't Adam have said that when asked?

Doesn't add up. Sounds like something projected onto him by other folks after the fact.

unfortunately true....
is it really unfortunate? God wouldn't have bothered with Adam and Eve and creation if he wanted everyone to blindly believe one thing (whether or not it was true).
Alright I need to get outta here, I'm thinking too deep and that is not good for my health right now.

thats very possible


all i know is he was aware of the cost before he ate
and was not decieved

anything more than that is speculation

id say his conclusion is also possible

Modern women are horrible. I find it staggering that men don't beat sense in to women any more. .
:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Genesis 2:17

“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

Timothy 2:14

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.



ya maybe she convinced him to eat

maybe he didnt do it out of love either

but he knew better

Some people believe that Cain and Able represent the difference between a hunter/gatherer older humanoid and the agrarian peoples of later periods. The more advanced farmer, in other words, dominated and won out over the earlier cave man.
But Cain was born before Abel...
And Abel was a shepherd...
And there were later shepherds...

Their theory ain't good! :p

I am not sure, actually, how they rationalize all the ins and outs of their theories... and apologize if I may have misrepresented them unwittingly... it does seem that Neanderthals are considered (assumed?) to be an earlier hominid (that is the word I should have used earlier instead of humanoid), even though obviously Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens were around at the same time. That there are still shepherds does not really detract, though, for we are meat eaters after all (even though meat was not officially given for food until after the flood). The fellow I mentioned, Dave, was a really neat guy :D He did believe in Jesus Christ, but held to quite a different view of history than most, and he treated everyone decently too, despite all the flack he took.
