Thoughts on my reread through the Bible # 3

Read Genesis 5&6 Psalms 3 & Matthew 3.

- The genealogy of Adam – this is where a lot of people who have never read the bible or have merely glanced at it have mess up. They assume Adam either had 2 sons – Cain & Abel or 3 Cain & Abel & Seth – the fact of the matter is we have no idea how many sons or daughters Adam and Eve had because they’re lumped together in a sentence after Seth is mentioned and this is because only Seth is important to the bloodline of Christ – and for this part – the bloodline to Noah. The rest of their children and great grandchild – 14 generations will be wiped out in the flood.

- Chapter 6 – has the notorious scripture that fallen angels are taking earthly women as wives and birthing giants which could’ve gave rise to gods and demi gods legends. I’ve heard some pastors preach that this is why God caused the flood because all flesh had become physically corrupted by their fallen angel bloodline. All except for Noah which would explain his 'perfect in all his generations' line in verse 9.


Psalms 3 has an interesting tie in - of David - crying out -

Matthew 3 – Meanwhile John the Bapist is telling the Pharisees not to count on lineage but to bear fruit worthy of repentance.


Next up - Genesis 7&8. Psalms 4 & Matthew 4.
