So if he\'s black...or "different" he should have been cast out? That doesn\'t make any sense. I\'m sorry...I\'ll stop...

yes, please stop.

He was cast out beause he killed Abel. God didn\'t want the free will of Cain getting the best of him (killing another brother or sister of his) or the family\'s free will (killing Cain because he killed Abel).

God cast out Abel from the midst of Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve.

Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden though. And no translation that I have looked at says that his skin changed color, just that he had a mark of some kind.

It was required that Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, otherwise, there would be no good and evil, and more importantly, there would be no us.

remember - that is just the way I portrayed the mark in my youth.

Okay then...enough about Adam and Eve. Also...I think people are tired of this thread now. I don\'t know...I think this is possibly the longest thread that I\'ve ever seen.

Well, if people are gonna start spamming[/i][/u]!

I\'ve said about all I can think of now. There\'s a lot to look over, and that article that Bossemans\' post links too does a well job of summing up both sides. As long as each side agrees to respect each others decisions.

Basically...I don\'t know what to think of either. Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs. This thread may very well be coming to an end. 33 pages right now...sheesh...

My Bible study guide states that it is probably an Elephant. Which would make a lot of sence. Seeing how so many religions hold the Elephant as a holy animal.

Maybe...but elephants don\'t seem all that great to me...

I hate when there\'s a glitch and my post which I replied to yours ends up being before yours...

« **Reply #327 on:** July 12, 2001, 02:34:42 PM »

yeah my bible study guide says it could be a elephant too but it makes sense to be a dinosaur too.
