Discovering the Bible Cont….

The Discovering the Bible class has been AWESOME. We’ve been learning so much. One of the first instructions was to push back what we think we know about the Bible and read it with fresh eyes. It has sparked many questions, answers and insight like:
Who were the sons of God mentioned in Genesis 6? If they were fallen Angels they why did they have frequent appointments with God (Job 1 and 2) and if they were fallen angels why were they still called His sons? The sons of God are mentioned being there in the beginning and shouting for joy during God’s creation (Job 38:7)
Why did God say that man’s days would be 120 years before the flood; however after the flood for generations people lived to be anywhere between 148-600 years old? If you notice He made this comment before the flood. So was that a message just to those people? Would their days would be 120 years before the flood?
When God pronounced judgement on Cain why did Cain fear being killed by “anyone” in the land? Was it just Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 or were there more people somewhere? Hint (Read Chapter 5).
WOW! Discovering the Bible is soooooo much fun!
