There is a theory that the human race was "seeded" by a race from another galaxy.  In fact, there is controversy surrounding the use of the name "elohim" in the old bible, which some claim is the name of the race that fathered us, and not one of the first names given to God by man.\n\nIf this is true, then we are all "aliens".  how cool is that?!

While I don't place any stock in the Biblical creation story, it is silly to say that Adam belonged to any religion whatsoever. There were no religions at the time stated in the Bible. Even Judaism didn't start until Abraham.

THE POOR RAISED UP OUT OF THE DUST, AND THE BEGGAR LIFTED UP FROM THE DUNGHILL (Part 1)\nPreached at Eden Street Chapel, Hampstead Road, on Lord’s Day Morning, August 20, 1843.\n"He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s and he hath set the world upon them."- 1Sa 2:8\nMOST of you are probably familiar, not only with the name of the person who uttered these words, but also with the circumstances under which they were spoken by her. But lest any should not immediately recollect the passage, I will just observe that they are the words of Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel, and that the circumstances under which they were spoken, were when she brought her infant son, and presented him before the Lord, that he might be his for ever. Her heart, it appears, was then so enlarged, and her soul so comforted and strengthened by beholding her infant son as the manifested answer to her prayers, that she burst forth into that song of thanksgiving of which the text forms a portion.\n\nBut before I enter into the experimental meaning of the text, it may be desirable, with God’s blessing, to trace out a few leading particulars of Hannah’s case.\n\nI believe, that, in Scripture, there are typical characters, as well as what are more properly called "types", or typical things; and Hannah appears to me to have been one of these typical characters. By typical characters, in this sense, I mean, not in the same way as Aaron, or Solomon, were types of Christ, but certain persons whose history and experience are typical or representative of God’s dealings with his people, or of characters that should arise in the church. The history of Hannah affords us more than one instance of these typical characters. We read, for instance, 1Sa 1:1,2 that "Elkanah had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children." Elkanah seems to me to typify the Lord Jesus-I think we may fairly assume this without doing violence to the figure; and his two wives seem to represent the church, Peninnah the professing, and Hannah the possessing church. Let us see if the figure will bear us out in this interpretation. Peninnah, in type, represents the professing church. As having a form of godliness, and a name to live, she had a vast superiority outwardly over her rival, for she was fruitful, whilst Hannah was barren. This points out the superiority, in outward fruit, which many professors have over God’s spiritually-taught children. But we may observe that in Peninnah’s fruitfullness there was nothing manifested of a supernatural character. She had children in the common course of nature, as other married women have them; there was nothing peculiarly providential, nothing eminently striking, nothing miraculous; but all took place in the usual course.\n\nNow this strikingly represents the way in which mere professors of religion bring forth their good works. The fruits they produce are not wrought in them by miracle; they do not spring out of a supernatural operation upon their consciences; but they are brought forth, from time to time, in the mere course of nature, without any galling disappointment on account of previous barrenness, without any earnest cry that the Lord would work powerfully in their soul, without any manifested answer to the prayer that he would make them fruitful in every good word and work. But these good works and religious performances, on which they pride themselves so highly, are brought forth by them in the usual course of nature, by the mere exertion of the creature, utterly independent of any work of the Holy Ghost upon their heart.\n\nBut this fruitfullness of Peninnah much galled and pained her barren rival, as the zeal, devotedness, piety and amiability, evide

They call themselves Christian, but they deny the deity of Jesus.\n\nThat all by itself makes them a cult.\nAnd Jesus and Satan were not brothers, either.\n\n(Besides, I don't want a heaven that is merely another planet from which I will start another human race. That's just too creepy to me.)

''Keep in mind that there is NOTHING in this passage to suggest that the children were at any fault of anything.''\n\nactually, if you read before it, it's talking about the ''children of Jezebel''  but wait mike, didn't Jezebel like...die in the old testament?  that is correct.  well then how are THESE her children?  well, it's like ''the children of God'' or ''the children of satan.'' children in this context does not mean little ones, what it means is ''those who are following in the same teachings of'' Jezebel, who called herself a prophetess, but ate foods sacrificed to idols and enticed some of God's servants to commit adultery with her.  the church was about 40 years old now, and if you read after the verse quoted here, it talks about ''knowing the depths of satan.'' this is a pre-gnostic belief that one was free to engage  and explore the rituals/activities of satan, and participate in evil with the body without harming the spirit.

It has been only about a month since the Israelites left Egypt. They are in the wilderness. Little food grows here, and so the people complain, saying: ‘We wish that Jehovah had killed us in Egypt. At least there we had all the food that we wanted.’\n\nSo Jehovah says: ‘I am going to cause food to rain down from the sky.’ And this is what Jehovah does. The next morning when the Israelites see this white stuff that has fallen, they ask one another: ‘What is it?’\n\nThe main food of the Israelites during their 40-year trek in the wilderness.  It served as food for them until they entered Canaan in 1473 B.C.E. and partook of the produce of the Promised Land.\n\nManna appeared on the ground with the evaporation of a layer of dew that developed in the morning, so that “upon the surface of the wilderness there was a fine flaky thing, fine like hoarfrost upon the earth.” When the Israelites first saw it, they said, “What is it?” or, literally, “man hu’?”\n\nManna was “white like coriander seed” and had the “look” of bdellium gum, a waxlike and transparent substance having a form that resembles a pearl. Its taste was comparable to “that of flat cakes with honey” or “an oiled sweet cake.” After being ground in a hand mill or pounded in a mortar, manna was boiled or made into cakes and baked.\n\nNo natural substance known today fits the Biblical description of manna in every respect, and so there is little basis for identifying it with a known product. This is especially so because miraculous aspects were involved in Jehovah’s providing manna for the Israelites. The availability of manna did not depend on the time of year or a particular wilderness location. \n\nAlthough the manna would breed worms and begin to stink on all the other days if kept overnight, the additional omer of manna gathered on the sixth day, to be used as food on the Sabbath, did not spoil. No manna could be found on the Sabbath, this serving to enforce Sabbath observance on the Israelites.

I know this quote well.  It's from the King Wenceslas version.  Bible scholars suspect that King W. himself slipped this in, because of the text that immediately follows:\nGood King Wenceslas looked out, on the feast of Stephen;\nWhen a snowball hit his snout, and it started bleedin'.\n(Delinquents 14:26)

I'm sorry, I couldn't find biblical references for this, but my personal opinion is that the other planets are still perfect b/c we (humans) are not there to mess them up.  And when we go there we are not introducing sin b/c there is no one to introduce it to...I mean, the rocks can't exactly sin.  However, if there is life on other planets (by life I mean anything with the capability to have a soul and also to sin), Romans 8 :28 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god," so they would already be sinners, so we could not introduce it b/c it is already there.

Jesus is not mentioned in Isaiah 53.  This chapter has nothing to do with Jesus, and the Christians have a bad translation of the actual Hebrew words in their "Old Testament".

Anyone who believes Adam and Eve were the only two people on the earth, has not read their Bible very carefully. There was a civilization in the land of "Nod". That is where Cain went to find his wife and build his own city. Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the Hebrew race
