Of course I do...and I also believe Von Danikens "Chariots of the Gods", in little people...(leprechauns, not Elder Epley) and that the earth is hollow.

Ya, that's all a really cute way to avoid
what you don't understand, imo.

With blue eyes and brown hair, or so said the Roman Governor at the time in his official reports.

That is one of the reason our ministry disaproves of pictures of Jesus, because I am sure that Jesus did not look european, he was a Jewish man.

You probably mean "semitic" since most Jews today look "European" :-)

lol how do you define a jewish feature? i men you have a black jew and a white jew, both come fromt eh 12 patriarchs? there all mixed jesus has moabite in his line and some says moabites where black.

Jesus could be a dark skinned man or he could be white as a ghost. cause i see both these types of jews. also many jews are russian..

just sayin...........

Abraham did not come from a city in EUROPE.

Timothy was half Jewish and Half Greek

A & E is a great story, that supplies what it needs to,

in Scripture, and also requires magical thinking.

The very phrase "eth ha Adam" indicates other lineages,
to argue the one, and I would just ask you who Cain's
father was, for the other.

I see no problem with telling the A & E story to
children, but imo there is too much meat to be
found by just a little digging for that story to suffice
for a seeker.

A study of Gen 3:20 "...mother of all the living,"
your only possible foundation, will reveal itself better
in the lexicon. Our common interpretation is ridic on its face:
what, "all the living" as opposed to "all the dead?"

A little seeking leads to finding here.

Cain's father was Adam

Gen 4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."

He could have married a sister.

Or perhaps it was a race of human like creatures like Neanderthals
