Re: your father was a murderer from the beginning.
so lets look at what we got from satan. im goin by what jesus said, y'all can believe what you want.
he names his son enoch. satan likes to imitate the people of god. he wants to fit right in, and he does.
Genesis 5:18-24
18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 19 and Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 20 and all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
it seems god isnt fooled by names like people are, using the name of jesus in perpetual blasphemy. kinda sad.
ok, what else did satan give us? a city. lo and behold, where do most of the lies and murders take place? in cities, of course. makes sense.
and then he names the city after his own. yep, thats another evil thing the do. you see it everywhere - from atwoods to wendys.
there there are tents. no wonder paul was such a self-loather. he was a tent maker, too.
and those who have cattle. cattle not only provide a lot more meat and milk they can be hooked to a plow. greed and laziness. that fits the bill. oh yea, he gave us agriculture, too. remember his offering that was rejected by god? now we all eat from farmers and praise them for it. yep satan.
and then musical instruments. nuthin says satan like some good music. just ask led zeppelin.
brass and iron - metallurgy. without it we couldnt make war. what a shame that would be, huh?
so we have lies and murder and greed and envy and vengeance and pride and covetousness and lust and gluttony and slothfullness. sounds like just another saturday night, eh?
