Genesis 9

SAB, Genesis 9

• 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

PER SAB
(9:2) "The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast. Into your hand are they delivered."
According to this verse, all animals fear humans. Although it is true that many do, many do not. Sharks and grizzly bears, for example, are generally much less afraid of us than we are of them
(9:2) "Into your hands are they delivered."
God gave the animals to humans, and they can do whatever they please with them. This verse has been used by bible believers to justify all kinds of cruelty to animals and environmental destruction.

• 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

So god is all for execution of murders.

PER SAB
(9:6) "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed."
Then why did God put a mark on Cain (after he murdered Abel) so that others wouldn't kill him? (Gen.4:15).
Does God approve of capital punishment?
What the Bible says about capital punishment

• 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Ok so its ok for god to flood small areas, and kill people in those areas.

• 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
• 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
• 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
• 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Noah is just wrong here, mad at canaan because his father saw him nude. So he is going to turn canaan in to a slave.

PER SAB
(9:20-25)
"Noah ... drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent."
The "just and righteous" Noah (6:9, 7:1) plants a vineyard, gets drunk, and lies around naked in his tent. His son, Ham, happens to see his father in this condition. When Noah sobers up and hears "what his young son had done unto him" (what did he do besides look at him?), he curses not Ham, who "saw the nakedness of his father," but Ham's son, Canaan. "A servant of servants shall he [Canaan] be unto his brethren." This is a typical case of biblical justice, and is one of many Bible passages that have been used to justify slavery.
Are we punished for the sins of others?

Genesis 4

SAB, Genesis 4

• 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
• 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
• 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
• 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
• 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

So here if you kill a animal for god good, if you bring fruit which you had to work to produce and manage alot more than the animal, you sacrifice is no good. So your work means NOTHING, only some stupid animal sacrifice.

• 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Hmmm god doesn't seem to know where abel is or he is just playing stupid?

• 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
• 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Hmm so far we only have 4 people on earth, well 3 now since cain killed abel, so who is this every one that shall slay him? His own mother and father?

PER SAB
(4:14) "Every one that findeth me shall slay me."
Cain is worried after killing Abel and says, "Every one who finds me shall slay me." This is a strange concern since there were only two other humans alive at the time -- his parents!

• 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Umm where did the wife come from? 4 - 1 = 3. This makes no logical sense at all. and he builds a city?

• 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

Here we go again, how does seth have a kid?

Ok this chapter makes no sense at all, we have a total of 3 kids born all male, 1 killed, yet 2 males have kids. Where did their wifes come from?

I can't believe that people would actually believe all this.
