LUKE CHAPTER 3 SAYS NOTHING ABOUT MARY IT SPECIFICLY STATES THE BLOODLINE GOES FROM JOSEPH BACK TO ADAM. WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO BLOODLINE BETWEEN JESUS AND ADAM. THIS IS FROM THE BIBLE ITSELF


3:21 Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."

3:23 Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

3:24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

3:27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,

3:28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er,

3:29 the son of Josa, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

Did Adam and Eve really exist? Some have said they were not actual people but allegorical. But if Jesus descended from Adam, then what purpose would the allegorical Adam and Eve serve? Did sin enter the world through an allegory?

Yes they are real or you would have to say,,,Abel is allegory,,,,Cain is allegory Seth is a allegory and so on.....

question

adam and eve
then cain and abel

who did cain marry since the next person born from eve from seth?

God created mankind man/woman on day 6.....On day 7 God rested......Then God formed Adam and a little while later made Eve from Adams rib (dna).....Cain marryed one of the woman that was created on day 6......YOu will also notice Cain was afraid when he was kicked out,,,because of these other people from day 6............
 
The whole story is figurative . . . . and didn't take place in 6 days, ~6,000 years ago. Again, Adam and Eve MAY have existed in some way or another and their likeness was used to attempt to understand "how it all came to be". They were, of course, mistaken or misunderstanding at best.

One of the places it is written is....

  • Genesis 1:1 In the (a) beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Compare "heaven," singular with "heavens," plural...

  • 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Notice also that we are shown the generations of....meaning, more than one generation of the heavens and the earth.

"As was supposed," means....as reckoned by law or....in-law. Joseph was the in-law (as was supposed) Son of Joseph. Joseph, was the "begotten" son of Jacob so here he is shown to be the son-in-law of Heli. Heli is the father of Mary, grandfather of Christ.

It was quite true and happened about 14,000 years ago...as written. Remember...."one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." [11 Peter 3:8]

14,000? Most young earthers say the the age of the earth is 6,000. Why do you think something different?

All figurative?????? You sure about that ????? That word "all" is a pretty strong word....anyhow,,,

one day to God is 1000 years to us so we know the rejuventation of the earth/man creation was at least 8,000 years,,,seeing as to how the man Adam (eth-haa- adam) was not formed until after day 7....

"How it came to be" ??? Thats simple,,,,,God created souls ,,,one of those souls was Lucifer,,,,Lucifer sinned,,,and he got 1/3 of the other souls to follow,,,,he started a war,,,,Now after the war God decided to have most souls be born through woman to in the world to decide who thy would serve satan or God....

HELI WAS JOSEPHS FATHER

You won't find that name, Joachim, in the Bible. It is a Catholic teaching.
 
WHERE DID YOU FIND THE INFO THAT MARYS FATHER WAS HELI. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN MARY AND JOSEPH ARE BROTHER AND SISTER.

It was quite true and happened about 14,000 years ago...as written. Remember...."one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." [11 Peter 3:8]

This is not saying that a day with the Lord is a thousand years. God is outside of time. All this verse is saying that time is nothing to God. Basically, the passage is exxagterating to make a point. The context of 1 Peter 3:8 has to do with God being patient with us. We often get so concerned about time but to God, time is just a small flash. To us a thousand years is a long time but to God it is nothing. I believe that is all the passage is saying.

If we are to say that each day we live is one thousand years to God, then we are trapping God in time. In this case, God would have an age. However, God does not have an age, He has always been.

So many do this passage injustice by teaching it to explain how long each creation day is. The Bible says six days. Evening and morning are a day. The sun goes down and the sun goes up. How long were these days to God? Nothing. God is not trapped in time. How long were they on earth? Probably close to 24 hours because that is about how long it takes for the sun to set and the sun to rise. To me, it is that simple. If each creation day was thousands or perhaps millions of years, the sun would set and rise a lot more than once. Or, it took thousands or millons of years for the sun to rise after it had set. I can certainly respect the opinions of others as this should not be a dividing issue.

One of these days, we will all know the truth of the matter. But by then, it won't matter. We will be in a place where time does not exist and will be with our Father for all eternity.
