Apparently your not learning.
Exactly but only because you have "she conceived" at the end. however, if you add the very end of 4:1 to the context it slightly changes the meaning to a possibility that in MAYBE Cain and Abel were descendants of LORD God. Which would make sense as to why they are not listed in Gen 5.
You take my argument out of context.
Your right. My bad. I don't know if it's a exact copy of the autograph.
Your claim, not mine.
Maybe you don't know her at all. Yes, you're right, you do loose your awareness of her when she leaves and it translates into what you think you know about her. The image you paint of her, or rather the one she paints for you.
It seemed that you didn't know the definition to the meaning of the word because your argument was ridiculous.
I am. See, I am Christian but it's a faith choice and I accept that. I accept that the things I believe are built around faith and not complete awareness. Naturalist's have a hard time with this idea. They assume uniformity of place/time and Natural causality.
You may have never knew them.....
Actually people can but there is always a communication barrier. Yes I am skeptical of this, it is however what I believe.
I don't claim that my interpretation is the real one. I claim that possibly the commonly accepted idea or other interpretations are possible. "Skepticism". Interpretations are different for everybody. We know what we think we know, end of story. Edited by III, : Correction Edited by III, : Another....

It doesn't make much sense for God to write down a bunch of stuff that only He can understand. Can't he just remember it? (It reminds me of that Dana Carvey movie, Clean Slate.)

How is God supposed to remember when he doesn't have any brain to remember things? God's knowledge isn't in our earthly languages so it has to be processed by a human brain and then his language of truth comes out in the writings and speaking we do. All he does is arrange the vocabulary words that's in my memory according to his knowledge, which is the truth. When I write down these words that come into my mind, which is the invisible and created part of us, then I can understand what he wants me to know. He's been revealing knowledge in me for two and a half years now so I have the whole story now. When I read the scriptures and prophesies, I understand them without having to study like Christians do, and still they don't know the true interpretations. They lie to themselves with their own interpretations and then lie to others that they teach.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate ...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

 Without a brain, how is he supposed to design anything?
I think you're holding the book upside down. "I'm Rory Bellows, I tell you! And I got a lot of corroborating evidence... over here... by the throttle!"

Did he tell you why the writings don't match the evidence? There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002 Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything. WT Young, 1969 Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

i do not understand why this is particularly an issue with you. i have demonstrated above, repeatedly, that "knowing" can indeed refer to sexual intercourse, perhaps euphemistically or idiomatically. it is one thing to be skeptical of a claim, but quite another to continue skepticism after clear demonstration, with substantial evidence. denialism is not skepticism -- it is its own form of belief.

again, one needs to look at context across verses, as well, in order to determine usage. quote: there is no other context here that is at all confusing. nor is there most any other time the expression is used. its meaning is pretty clear.
there are places where there is room for interpretation. this is not one of them. not every interpretation you hear is equally valid. some are supportable by the text, and others are not. this one is particularly sketchy, as yada as a sexual euphemism (especially when tied to yalad, as in gen 4:1), is particularly well established. the basic fact of the matter is that a great many things are commonly accepted because they are correct. this is not to say that everything commonly accept is necessarily correct, of course.

 Whether or not you realize it's a "belief" is the real issue. I realized your point the first time you posted. My argument still stands. Providing a way to analyze the data does not help your argument or make it true. We're still dealing with probabilities.Edited by III, : err
