Re: Serpent Seed Theory *Christians Only*
The foundation of the Serpent Seed theory is the belief that Eve had sex with Satan and that Satan. Now, if Eve had sex with Satan then that means Adam had sex with Satan too because he took part of what Eve took part in. So if Adam had sex with Satan then that means the white man was the only man to have homosexual sex with Satan.

Adam was white because "his is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red" To be red says it all... Only the white man turns red with his skin.

Again, if Adam had sex with Satan then that means the white man was only man known to have homosexual sex with Satan. Do those of you who believe in the Serpent seed agree?

Well if this is what you want to believe, You can believe this. I'm sure we would have more non jewish celebs if this were true. By the way all races mixed with the Serpent Seed it wasn't just white's. This explains why there are Black jewish people, Chinese jewish people and Indian jewish people.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 966990


The reason why we see so many jewish celebs is because they are being used as a front to make people think the fake jewish people are in control. Black ops behind black ops behind black ops. There are still groups out there within the races, blacks, chinese, and indian as well as whites who do not have the serpent dna in them. Yes races did mix with that serpent dna but there are still some groups within those races who do not have the dna.

you know, theatre was an art brought by the Watchers and passed to the Nephilim. it was Cain's people who practiced these arts at first, and of course the hybrids as well.
 Quoting: Salt


If that is so and you might be right then it means the Watchers[Angels] brought down with them from Heaven. Nothing wrong with theater. I guess you could corrupt just about anything even theater. But theater in itself is an art form. You could use it for good or bad.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3084200


everything the fallen angels brought us was intended for corruption ultimately. it might be ok here and there, but will end up as a tool for destruction.

The DNA of the human race was altered with the watchers took human wives and produced offspring called Nephilim, the evil giants.

But, none of that had anything to do with Cain. I can't believe some of you guys fell for these total BS lies.

They were not twins, satan didn't have sex with eve, and there were no prior earth ages.

None of this is biblical at all, it's lies and deceptions.

At any rate, stay focused on Jesus because He is really the only one that matters and salvation is not based on this stuff but rather your heart condition.

Jesus Himself spoke many many many many times about the heart of a person, and it's the heart that reveals if a person is righteous or wicked. It's all about the heart of a person.

That's it, that's the whole deal.......what's in a person's heart, whether or not that person has cultivated goodness or wickedness.

Re: Serpent Seed Theory *Christians Only*
However, I do disagree with the statement that too many churches are led by scripture. This in fact false.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8709912


Where did i say that?


And the nervousness that I feel when I hear that comment is knowledge that the falling away as stated by Paul is actually 'a departure from Truth. Exactly what happens when Christians do not build up a solid foundation in His complete Word. Scripture and Word are identical for me. They are both a voice and to deem one any more important is unfair and judging the faith of others. God gives gifts differently. I talk to Him all the time and feel more and more peace. He guides me as I try to put into practice what He wants me to be. I could ask no less of anyone else.
There is currently, as you probably know, movements underway to discredit and undermine anybody that looks to His Word as authority. The oft used criticism is fundamental or traditional, so your use of The words "retained traditional teachings" is hopefully not suspect.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8709912
I agree

Additionally, Our Father's Kingdom will be set up on Earth regardless if people view Him as a "hippy", because Jesus Christ will return as King to set it up. We hopefully have helped in the gathering of his faithful.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8709912
I agree but will qualify to say that He will come when He is asked to and truly desired. And is desired for WHO He is.....not our perceived *picture* of him.

All of us recognise that most churches lead their flocks astray. Today more so than ever. Many are into the "spirit" and claiming the right to set up God's Kingdom before He will return. Again, a falsehood nowhere supported in scripture. So yes, where a tiny few might actually hear the true voice of our beloved Saviour, we are also admonished to remember all of the lying signs and wonders that will abound.
Hope this clarifies. Peace.

I will ponder how to approach this, and how far to go...

The other draw back is I type with two fingers while looking at the keyboard.

Probably best, if I go forward with this, to ignore complaints about my beliefs being contrary to the scriptures..






Thank You...I enjoys your posts also...

I am way out there! I think even more so than you. Thus I reserve somethings to myself. I would like to share them, but fear many would misunderstand...

What you and I have shared about the word vs the scriptures is basic and easy to see, and look at the controversy this creates.

So what would happen if I described my freedom from temptation and sin, and the relationship it has in my life today compared to years ago?



 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8407446

 Quoting: Dried Up Hag


I am so out there that the only person I know who understands what I'm talking about is my husband..........I come from a very large, very non-denominational family who all think I've "gone down a concerning path."

I've had some experiences with regard to my walk that I don't talk about with anyone. It's difficult not to have others who understand things in the same way that you do. And so I feel compelled to keep mum about most of it as well.

What if you started a thread of your own? I know I am very interested in hearing of your experiences.

It would be interesting, (and heartening), to find out if there are any others on this site who may have had similar experiences, you know?

If you DO start a thread about it, let me know if you can. You can just respond to this I guess - I can't get pm's on this.

The scriptures are the scriptures, to me. Brilliant and excellent and very accurate.

However - for me, the scriptures are not as life-giving as the teachings of Jesus.

And as long as you believe that scripture is God's word, and I believe that Jesus is God's word, then I can't see any common ground for us to meet on.

I'm really not interested in playing games and trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking. I think that you and I are coming from two completely different schools.

Who is Jesus? He is the Light which lightens all men who are born into the world. He is the Christ - in me - the hope of glory.

Jesus is my Teacher. And, as He said....His sheep know His voice.



Yes - the kingdom is within. To enter the kingdom, one must go within. In the name of Jesus Christ. And then listen....listen....listen - and obey what you hear.

The sheep follow the voice of the Shepherd.




** not sure what is up with the quote feature

**


How can I know you follow the same "Jesus" that I do? He is not subjective, you know. And your teaching espouses that He is.

If you don't mind, I'd like to share this link with you. I hope you read through it....i believe it will change how you look at Him, and how you view His eternal Word.

If it does not, then I have to believe there some serious forces at work over you and it then becomes a matter between you and the Most High Elohim...

That's cool! If you believe you have it all figured out, that's great! Personally, I don't believe there is a person on the planet that has it all figured out accurately, but that's just me.

I only mentioned the article because it presents VERY compelling evidence in support of the theory. It would be much more beneficial to all though, if someone disagreed with it to actually pull from it, and point out exactly WHY they disagreed with it.

The point is, is that there are TWO seeds. One of YHWH, and one of ha satan. How those seeds BECOME and how they manifest is the question. Is it purely spiritual? Is it through DNA? Is it both. I tend to think it is both.

Anyway, as I said before, I am not dogmatic on the matter of the "serpent seed theory". Actually the other day I read another perspective that was just as as interesting. And that is of the two nations that came from Rebekah's womb. The Edomites and the Israelites....two nations that have been at war since the beginning - in the womb, and remain so to this day.

GBU my friend, may GOD/JESUS/THE HOLY SPIRIT (these 3 are the 3 dispensations of one and the same GOD) open your eyes
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1499226


Who indeed inspired paul/shaul? Which deity do you worship? Who is "god"?

"But you are those who forsake the Lord,
Who forget My holy mountain,
Who prepare a table for Gad,
And who furnish a drink offering for Meni" (Isaiah 65:11, NKJV)

"Gd" is first mentioned in Genesis 30:11 when "Leah said, "A troop comes!" So she called his name Gad" (KJV), as the traditional translation has it. Whilst the Authorised Version has Gad meaning "troop" the more modern NIV renders the Genesis passage, "Leah said, "What good fortune!" So she named him Gad" (cf. NRSV etc). Gad, the proper name of a person and tribe, occurs some 70 times (Strong's #1410 - all the Strong's reference numbers are for Hebrew or "H").

The next and apparently only other mention of the Hebrew word GÓd or gâdh (Strong's #1409), as distinct from the patriarch and tribe, is in Isaiah 65:11 where it is unlikely to be referring to Jacob’s son. A number of translations offer differing alternatives such as "troop" or "fortune", the Greek Old Testament Septuagint goes so far as to render it by daimoni/daimoni as "devil, demon" (Strong's #1142) and the Aramaic Targum by "idols":

"prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number" (KJV)

"prepare a table for Fortune, and that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Destiny" (JPS)

"prepare a table for the devil (daimoni), and fill up the drink-offering to Fortune" (LXX)

It has even been noted that the English word "god" may derive from gâdh that refers the English "god" back to a Canaanite deity. It is pointed out here and elsewhere (e.g., [link to www.jeramyt.org] [link to www.search-the-scriptures.org] [link to members.cox.net] that the original Hebrew of gâdh would have been simply "GD" without vowels and that even when the "â" vowel was added it could be pronounced "o" as well, suggesting that the word could stand for "god".
Thus, these sites suggest that we should avoid calling God "god" as it associates him with a pagan deity, much as calling him "lord", the term Ba`al (Strong's #1168), does (see Hosea 2:16-17). It should be noted that there are several words for Lord in Hebrew and Adonai "my Lord" (Strong's #136) is not a pagan deity. Some of these sites attempt to teach a theology of only calling God YHVH, a bit like Jehovah Witnesses with Jehovah which should be avoided as well but that's another discussion.

Various sources refer Gad back to either a Babylonian, Canaanite, or Syrian, deity. [link to en.wikipedia.org] The medieval Jewish commentator Kimchi wrote that Gad was used by the Arabs to refer to the Roman Jupiter and Greek Zeus. Jupiter was the largest planet and father of the gods. He is almost akin to the sun god just as Meni/Mani may refer to the moon god, since the moon was used for numbering (see the KJV use of "number" in the translation of Isaiah 65:11 above) the months. Coincidentally, it was Gad the prophet who was sent to David to denounce him for having "numbered" the people (2 Samuel 24:10-13).

According to Joshua 11:17; 12:7; 13:5 there is even a city named after this deity "Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon".

According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, (p.545), Gad was known to the jewish people of the Talmudic era:

"Gad, the god of fortune, is frequently invoked in Talmudic (magic) formulas of good will and wishes; for instance, in Shab. 67b ("Gad eno ella leshon 'abodat kokabim"; comp. Targ. Pseudo-Jonathan to Gen. xx. 10, 11). The name is often synonymous with "luck" (Yer. Ned. iv. 38d; Yer. Shab. xvi. 15d). Gad is the patron saint of a locality, a mountain (Hul. 40a), of an idol (Gen. R. lxiv.), a house, or the world (Gen. R. lxxi.). Hence "luck" may also be bad (Eccl. R. vii. 26). A couch or bed for this god of fortune is referred to in Ned. 56a".

In sum, that the word "god" derives from Gad is disputable but plausible. Online etymology dictionaries such as [link to www.etymonline.com] suggest a derivation from a verb "to our out a libation" as in the drink offering in the verse above. So perhaps "god" is a pagan word for "the Creator" of the Scriptures, hence the importance of searching out the Scriptures. Do you know WHO you are worshipping?

"Again - as I said....if you believe that scripture is the word of God, then you and I have no table to meet at."

Why do we keep seeing this comment? This is not only off subject for this thread, but is a very decisive statement. Final. Closed minded. Are we too be that way? We all know that "In the Beginning... The Word was God... The Word was with God".
And the Word was made flesh.

You forget that many of us hear the Word through our scripture so when we say that scripture is the Word of God you make it a line drawn in the sand and "there's nothing further to discuss". Perhaps a gentle correction to "scriptures are the inspired Word of God" or "Jesus is the Word of God" so "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" really means that Faith comes by hearing and hearing by Jesus. Or how about "The Word of God (Jesus) brings the Scriptures to life, not the other way around."?

For us the Word is all around us through God who teaches us. Everytime my mind wonders to a passage of scripture as I walk down the road, I know that the Word is with me. Jesus is with me.

Anybody can open scripture and start to read, but does this mean that they will know God? Sadly no because it is He that teaches. "" You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life."

By stating that "there is no table to meet at" is not too engaging, helpful or inclusive. I, for one, will get out of the habit and stick with "scripture is the inspired word of God" instead of "scripture is the word".

The reason for my statement to the other poster was to give reason why we should not enter into discussion if we are at odds on the subject.....for the purposes of avoiding contention. I find that when two ideas are so opposed between people, it is better to not discuss at all, then to try and hold a spitting contest.
