More trucking

Well today I finally got my birth cert. today, so I can go take my CDL permit test. Our recruiter forgot to tell us that our copy of our cert. needed to be certified, or the original, and not just an everyday copy. James got his a few days ago, and now has his permit. I have to wait till tomorrow morning to get mine. So I've taken the practice tests a lot, and hope I'm ready. There is not too much to do in a trucking school when you can't take any tests. So today I walked to Starbucks. I have a lot more time to read my Bible too. There are some big oppertoonitys to be a witness here, so we could both use some prayers. And these trucks are big, really big. So pray that we will not fear to drive them.

Trucking!

Well I'm going trucking with James Johnson. Right now we are in Iowa and just had our first day in orientation. We will be studying for our CDL so we need LOTS of prayers!

I just found my old blog. http://exegesistheoblog.blogspot.com/ I never did anything to it because I lost it

Tough questions: Did God create Evil? Didn't God make everything? Why did God make us, knowing that we would sin? Why does a loving God allow suffering? What proves that the Bible is the word of God logically?

Bible Study

This is for a Bible study that my friend Andy and I have on most Friday nights. If anyone would like to tackle some of these questions, please do.


Our questions for this week are from Genesis chapters 4-6


Chapter 4

1. 4:3-4 Cain brought an offering but Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock, does this mean Abel put more thought and effort into his offering?

2. 4:4-5 Why did God have respect unto Abel's offering and not Cains?

3. 4:7 Explain verse 7:

4. 4:8 Do you think that Abel was being proud and this only helped to kindle the flame of hatred in Cain?

5. 4:15 Why did God promise Cain revenge sevenfold?

6. 4:17 & 5:19 Were Cain's son Enoch and Jared's son Enoch two different people?

7.4:23-24 What is the point of verse 23? Who did Lamech kill? Why does Lamech get more revenge for his death than Cain?

8. 4:26 Why does the Bible mention that men began to call upon the name of the Lord after Seth begat Enos?

Chapter 5

1. 5:2 Who are they? Why did God call their name Adam?

2. 5:22-24 What does Enoch walked with God mean? Do you believe Enoch died? Why Enoch?

3. 5:29 Explain verse 29 about Noah:

Chapter 6

1. 6:2 Who are the sons of God and why are they the sons of God?

2. 6:3 Why did God say mans years shall be 120? and Why have there been people that have lived longer than that?

3. 6:6 Why would God make something he repented of?

4. 6:9 Was Noah perfect? Did Noah walk with God as Enoch did?

5. 6:17 If the point of the flood was to "destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die" What about the water dwelling creatures? Does the breath of life apply only to humans?

6. 6:21 Did Noah have to take every sort of fruit ang vegatable to preserve it?
