Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
The problem of understanding stems from the word "GOD"
The word that is used as GOD is the hebrew word "ELOHIM"

ELOHIM is a plural word

so we take is by steps.. first to genesis

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

If you go by the traditional understanding of the word GOD it doesnt make sense..the "let us" part , but if you use the original hebrew word ELOHIM it makes sense because elohim is a plural word

Genesis 1:26
And ELOHIM said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

again you have to be careful with the word GOD in its english form.

Who we know as the CREATOR is Jesus the messiah

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word(JESUS), and the Word (JESUS)was with God(ELOHIM), and the Word (JESUS)was God(ELOHIM).

2 The same (JESUS) was in the beginning with God (ELOHIM).

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Everything that was created was created for JESUS CHRIST AND THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS CHRIST IS WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE "CREATOR"
So Jesus christ is ELOHIM.
but Jesus christ is NOT THE FATHER , He is the second person in ELOHIM.

And that is why JESUS came down and died for us , because he loves his CREATION..

Not quite correct.
There are THREE "gods" in the first two chapters of Genesis.

The CREATOR
The "Lord God"... the group of them
and the "Lord"...the overseer. The blood sacrifice was to please the OVERSEER. The guy people call Jesus (not his real name) hated the blood sacrifice.

The "Christian Bible"..and ALL versions of it, are based upon the work of Constantine and his 60 pagan priests that he made the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church.

skipped over which question?
 Quoting: Salt


You claim there were more than 4 people on the planet at that time.

How?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31618304


its a long explanation, but basically there were many many other children having children since and after Cain. the way the math works out, there were at a very minimum 5000 other grown people and the maximum thousands more than that.

remember, people lived to be hundreds of years old.
population growth was rapid, very rapid.

here is a link that might help:
Observations about population growth

The fact that Cain, the son of Adam, built a city tells us much about the increase in population in the early history of mankind. If a city was built in the lifetime of a son of the very first man, it follows that population grew rapidly and was quickly civilized (in contrast to the views of evolutionists).

God had commanded Adam and Eve to reproduce and fill the earth (Gen. 1:28). Men in that time, before the flood, lived to great ages (see chapter 5). Adam, for example, lived to be 930 years old before he died (5:5), and most of his descendants before the flood lived about 900 years. If there are no gaps in the genealogies, this means Adam would have been alive following the birth of Lamech, father of Noah, 8 generations later! Hence, although they eventually died, people lived many years before they died. This greatly multiplied the number of people living on earth because, at any one time, there were many generations still living.

Further, men were capable of having many children, and large families were common. Noah was having children at age 500 (5:32). All men in chap. 5 are recorded as having "sons and daughters." In such long lifetimes with long periods of fertility, many children could be born.

Using conservative estimates, Morris estimates (p. 143) that, by the time Cain died, there could easily have been 120,000 people on the earth (certainly enough for there to be cities). By the time of Noah there could easily have been seven billion - more than on earth today! Do not think of Cain, Adam, and other such people as walking around on a bare, lonesome, uninhabited earth. The obeyed God's command to reproduce and fill the earth.

the bit I bolded above and the entirety of the verse that follows (1 John 5:8) are not a part of any of the ancient manuscripts and doesn't show up until the Roman Catholic Church added it to the Latin to try to help establish pagan ideas within the church


"The passage is absent from the manuscripts of all ancient versions (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Arabic, Slavonic) except the Latin; and it is not found in the Old Latin in its early form (Tertullian Cyprian Augustine), or in the Vulgate as issued by Jerome and revised by Alcuin. The first reliable Latin text to contain it was written in AD 550. In the revised Greek text underlying the modern versions, 1Jo 5:7 (the Johannine "comma") and all reference to a trinity is obliterated."

The problem of understanding stems from the word "GOD"

ELOHIM is a plural word

so we take is by steps.. first to genesis

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

Elohim means "mighty ones"

in Genesis, the reference is to the angels who are the "workers" of God

they are in the image of God and so are we

You claim there were more than 4 people on the planet at that time.

How?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31618304


its a long explanation, but basically there were many many other children having children since and after Cain. the way the math works out, there were at a very minimum 5000 other grown people and the maximum thousands more than that.

remember, people lived to be hundreds of years old.
population growth was rapid, very rapid.

here is a link that might help:
Observations about population growth

The fact that Cain, the son of Adam, built a city tells us much about the increase in population in the early history of mankind. If a city was built in the lifetime of a son of the very first man, it follows that population grew rapidly and was quickly civilized (in contrast to the views of evolutionists).

God had commanded Adam and Eve to reproduce and fill the earth (Gen. 1:28). Men in that time, before the flood, lived to great ages (see chapter 5). Adam, for example, lived to be 930 years old before he died (5:5), and most of his descendants before the flood lived about 900 years. If there are no gaps in the genealogies, this means Adam would have been alive following the birth of Lamech, father of Noah, 8 generations later! Hence, although they eventually died, people lived many years before they died. This greatly multiplied the number of people living on earth because, at any one time, there were many generations still living.

Further, men were capable of having many children, and large families were common. Noah was having children at age 500 (5:32). All men in chap. 5 are recorded as having "sons and daughters." In such long lifetimes with long periods of fertility, many children could be born.

Using conservative estimates, Morris estimates (p. 143) that, by the time Cain died, there could easily have been 120,000 people on the earth (certainly enough for there to be cities). By the time of Noah there could easily have been seven billion - more than on earth today! Do not think of Cain, Adam, and other such people as walking around on a bare, lonesome, uninhabited earth. The obeyed God's command to reproduce and fill the earth.

You're dancing around the question.

We're not debating if there were others when Cain died. We are debating if and how many others were there when Cain was marked by God, and how that's possible considering they were the first sons of Adam and Eve.

How old was Cain when he killed his brother and was marked by God?

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
The problem of understanding stems from the word "GOD"
The word that is used as GOD is the hebrew word "ELOHIM"

ELOHIM is a plural word

so we take is by steps.. first to genesis

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

If you go by the traditional understanding of the word GOD it doesnt make sense..the "let us" part , but if you use the original hebrew word ELOHIM it makes sense because elohim is a plural word

Genesis 1:26
And ELOHIM said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

again you have to be careful with the word GOD in its english form.

Who we know as the CREATOR is Jesus the messiah

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word(JESUS), and the Word (JESUS)was with God(ELOHIM), and the Word (JESUS)was God(ELOHIM).

2 The same (JESUS) was in the beginning with God (ELOHIM).

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Everything that was created was created for JESUS CHRIST AND THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS CHRIST IS WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE "CREATOR"
So Jesus christ is ELOHIM.
but Jesus christ is NOT THE FATHER , He is the second person in ELOHIM.

And that is why JESUS came down and died for us , because he loves his CREATION..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26311503


Not quite correct.
There are THREE "gods" in the first two chapters of Genesis.

The CREATOR
The "Lord God"... the group of them
and the "Lord"...the overseer. The blood sacrifice was to please the OVERSEER. The guy people call Jesus (not his real name) hated the blood sacrifice.

The "Christian Bible"..and ALL versions of it, are based upon the work of Constantine and his 60 pagan priests that he made the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church.

Who created Hell?
If it is God
What eternal torture methods does he use

does one of the torture methods include dunking your head in water until you drown or tearing your eyeballs out and putting hot sauce on it or what about plucking your teeth out one by one. Sound like the perfect punishment it definitely fits the crime you don't listen to God on earth He tortures you your right punishment definitive fits the crime.More power to your ego. If there is a hell and I go there I would be happy in knowing God thought enough about me to plan each and every eternal torture method for eternity for "sinning" about at most 90 years on earth

i have clearly answered that there were others, how many possible others when Cain was marked by God. It also very very clearly shows how it is possible even considering that Cain is one of the first sons of Adam.

i do not see what part of your question that hasn't been answered.

Adam and Eve were commanded to populate the earth.
There were many many many children born from the time that Cain was born to the time that he was forced to leave.

many generations of Adams children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren populating the earth.

we don't know exactly how old cain was when he was forced to leave, but by all of the historical data of the time period, he could have been nearly 100 years old or more. we don't know for sure. when he was forced to leave - it could be anywhere between immediately and 150+ years after the fact. Adam lived to be nearly 1000 years old. That's many many generations of children being born.

so, tell me, what part of the question was not answered?
