These are questions that have perplexed even the greatest of theologians. The Bible itself does not give us an answer as to where Cain and Seth got their wives. Non-Biblical Jewish sources indicate that they were their sisters.

The first indication that we have of different skin colors is in the sons of Noah. I say indications because this is not clear also. It is believed that one was white, one was red and one was black because their names meant just that.

Looking at new scientific evidence the color of a persons skin is determined by cells called melanocytes. All races have the same number of these cells. Melanosomes are structures in the melanocytes that produce the pigment melanin. There are more and larger melanosomes in darker-skin melanocytes than in those of lighter skin.

thank you so much.  i always wondered that.

the only thing that made me celebrate holloween is free candy . what i do not think is good is costumes that represent the devil or any evil things. i feel terrible because when i was a little girl i always wnated to be a witch. now come to find out how aweful i feel for representing evil. i don't celebrate holloween now. sometimes if i have the money i get costumes but nothing evil. i like costuems that have pretty dresses they should get rid of the evil costumes especially the devil ones. if i ever have children i will not aloow them to dress in anything that represents evil. when i was young  i also liked dressing up as barbie.

hi nice to meet you. i joined here not to long ago myself.

i always do prayers when i am laying down or sitting. i never knew it was powerful more to be on your knees. thanks for the lesson. it to me means that being on your knees  when talking to the lord means you are bowing to him.

i like this  i still have so much to read on this board.

i have broke a lot of commandments like  take the lord's name in vain, not kept the holy day sabbath, i have not honored my motehr in my youth, i commiteed adultery, i have stolen, i beared false witness against thy neighbor and maybe a few others that i'm not aware of but i am trying hard now to keep them and ask to be forgiven for breaking those.  i only pray that i be forgiven  and try helping those who broke them to ask for forgiveness and to try and keep them.

for the longest time i have stolen money from my step dad and i cannot do it anymore. i am sickened from what i was doing by stealing from family and a friend. that is not a friend who steals from a friend for money. i am tired of satan always winning over me and i cannot allow this anymore. i feel i want to confess this to god and to everyone. i feel scared though to confess to  my stepdad and friend because i don't ever wnat to lose their love for my sin and mistake i did. i let satan win by my dirty deeds ad now i gotta fight because my eternity depends on it. i finally fought satan the time i went to my mom's. i didn't steal nor did i even think twice of looking or going into their room. i keep telling myself that if i wnat to be a true follower of the lord then i have to stop breaking the  laws and kept thinking about how it would feel if i spent eternity in hell and then thought about how it would feel if someone stold from me in which that has happened where 250 dollars was stolen from me and my hsuband one time and it wasn't nice. if i am low on money or broke then it's my fault because i over spent. i think to myself also  that as much as i hate the devil then why do i let him win? why should i give him the benefit of a doubt to win over my soul when i hate him and want to make him so angry with me because i serve god. this is what i keep thinking about and will continue because it seems to help when i do. and it's not only stealing, it my anger that tunrs into rage. ladies and gentlemen i am guilty of homicidal thoughts and thinking of hurtingpeople when they make me angry and thats not right. latley i been on a praying kick and this is why i choose to start church and i chose to come to a religous forum so i can have support and positive influence when things like this happen along with praying. i been catching myself for the past week when my anger was coming to me. i would start yelling and thinking negative thoughts but then i turned around and thought this isn't christian of me and this is not what the lord wants and then it leaves and i calm down. it happen today also wher ei thought negative but they left because i knew in my heart it was wrong. so i feel i am doing way better then i have in hte last month to  years.

it just feels that the devil knows our weak spots and we have to fight him as hard as we can. i agree we can only pray for people we can't change them.

i need to start eating and drinking healthy. i drink a lot of soda and thats not healthy. i eat to much greasy fatty foods or lots of sugary foods and thats not healthy.

 hello  i haven't been her  because i have been not feeling to well. everytime i tried getting on the computer i would just feel miserable and tired so i slept a lot. i had a sore throat and cough. i can already tell it's gonna be a dry and rough winter here. my husband is feeling sick also sotogether we been sleeping a lot. but i am feeling much better.

does anyone know how it came about that there is different kinds of people with different color skin and different races? i know he made adam and eve but did he make more people after them? or did they just marry and multiply with eachother even though they were family? i was always wondering

 i got two  cats  male and female. louie is the male and tara is the female. both were adopted from humne society when they were 12 weeks old. they are now 9 years old.

they are so wonderful and i love how they show effection towards me and my husband.  i  know that when they die i am gonna be so depressed for a long time because they are my kids. louie really makes me laugh at the things he does like when we make the bed or change the sheets louie always likes to jump up on the bed and makes sure the covers hit him. just like they did in gym class where they make you  lift the parachute and then you go under it. thats what louie likes to do. he likes to be on the bed when the blankets get put on the bed LOL! he still acts like a kitten. they both have our personalities. tara acts more like me and louie acts more like my husband jon LOL it's so funny.  i  can't imagine life without them.

hey kris i had a wonderful male iguana just like you. he was so sweet. he loved to sleep on me and he got along well with my cats. they said that iguanas don't get along with cats but mine did. i even got a pic of  him with my cat sitting on a speaker close together. if you would like to see the pic let me know.

 my iguana's name was draco. he was so nice and didn't have a temper at all until he started getting sick.  i eventallu found out that he was really sick so i had to put him to sleep. i had him cremated and he sits up on top of my desk with his death certificate that i got from the pet hospital. i miss him terribly. he was so kind and loved to climb also.  he was never mean. he did bite me once when we first got him but that was because i was new to him and had my face so close to his that he got scared. plus the place was new to him too because he was used to the pet store. but he never attacked me after  that.

aww thats so sweet and it's to bad you had to let him go.

i sure would like to hear more stories. it's so amazing how these darlings are. they are ablessing from god.

awww poor kitty. thats so sad.

please pray for my husband and i to become even more closer to god and that we will be able to find the right positive supportive friends we need. we don't have really any friends around here since we moved to this town. the friends we do meet aren't very good for us since they like to hurt other people behind thier backs and gossip and put down others. this i nor my husband need to be around so we stick to ourselves but it gets lonley without good friends who can bring us closer with god because of the positive.


please also pray for us as our car is breaking down and we need to get it fixed and really do not have the finances to get it fixed.  the car is important because i need to get to school and we need to get to appointments and have no family or friends close to us to give us a ride and don't have the money to spend a lot on taxi's

one more prayer i would like everyone to help me pray with is my temper. my temper gets out of control sometimes and i say things i never mean and ther ehas been times i even been physical with people when in rage and i need help so i been praying for myself with that and wuld love for otehrs to pray with me because i really wnat to change and think before i say or act.

than you and may god bless us all.
