Only if the content violates the forum rules. Posting links to expand on your topic is encouraged,
provided the content would not get you banned if you created it yourself.
Oh? Really? I'm not so sure about that. At any rate, I don't think it is a good idea to post links and leave it go at that. I still say you should put it in your own words. I am not talking to the link, I am talking to someone here. If members cannot put it in their own words, I'm not interested and strongly suspect they really don't know hat they are talking about.

I would strongly suggest that you study up on the history of citing authors, presenting historical information, handling manuscripts, etc. You will soon find that really up to the 20th century, there were very different standards in place, some of which we would find abhorrent today.

If you're not sure then you should link the rules so we can all figure them out.
But you are correct, just posting links is poor form for discussion. I am guilty of this
style of rebuttal.

Yes, Somebody said once that nobody in science thinks "such and such" about Christians.
I posted a link saying "Are you not aware of scientists saying things like this? LINK"

Now, that link is actually borderline but I think it will pass, becasue
it is not a good example of bashing based on the poll results.

But it is creeping close to what would would be considered group-bashing.

Based on Genesis 5 Adam and Eve bare other childs than Cain and Abel ONLY AFTER they got Seth at the age of 130 years .
Genesis 5:3-5
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Hogwash. There are no PreAdamites in the Bible or in biblical culture.
Then, tell us what was the origin of Cain's wife that Cain meet in the land of Nod (Genesis 4:16-17)?
Do you believe the writings of Genesis 5:3-5 saying that Adam and Eve bare other childs than Cain and Abel ONLY AFTER that Seth their third child was born when Adam was aged 130 years old ?

It does say all. It is all inspired! It is from Above, not men, but through men. Praise Him!

I was once a godless Naturalist formally educated in geology, with secular New Testament coursework.

But then I met the Author. May I say you are politely wrong.

Being without God in the world I understand. The Word coming alive I understand, when one is baptisted by His Spirit.

Those who think they can instruct others instead of the Spirit I learned early. Of all flavors, as a phone book can reveal.

But the Bible is His Word. He has wrote many a parts on my heart over the years. He leads His sheep!

Yes, but it can also be translated as "All inspired Scripture is..." It also leaves wide open the question as to what constitutes Scripture. Did Paul assume his letters were to be part of the canon?

My I politely say, there is wrangling of words verses a relationship with Him that transcends what people present and post.

Wrangling of words is over throught the Anointing illuminating the Scriptures.

May I politely further add, what has happened is too many people have leaned on their own understanding to know what they know (Proverbs 3:5-7). Thus the flavors seen in a big city phone book: churchism. There is a root for such. We are to begin by the Spirit, and we are to finish be the Spirit. With wranglings set aside. I John 2:20, not just a Bible and words.

Unless is was noted that Eve was barren for 130 years......and
such gossip was rampant in those days. So, not a good analysis.

The point is not that Eve was barren to get childs other than Cain and Abel during 130 years ...She rather feared something related to have childs...because of the curse that God have put on her related to what have happened in the Garden of Eden cited in Genesis Genesis 3:13-16

Genesis 3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

The whole Genesis 5 chapter demonstrate that the Adamites descendants were not in a hurry to get childs.

Seth was aged 105 years old when he bare his first child.
Noah was aged 500 years old when he bare his first child....

Noah was aged 500 years old when he bare his first child

Neither case claims that these were the firstborn.
Best to stick with what is actually written.

But I appreciate the assumption people make.
For example Seth was not mentioned first in scripture.

Likely she had child almost every year.
Not covered, but likely.

The reason that Cain is not listed in Genesis 5 is because God have discarded Cain as being the one who will carry the pure bloodline of Adam through wich Jesus will be born after generations through generations ....that was Seth who was selected by God...after that, that was the first male born of Seth who carry on the pure bloodline of Adam ....Read the list in Genesis 5

Genesis 5 list the male firstborn at the execption of Cain for the reason given above.

Adam and Eve bare other children that Cain and Abel only after that Seth was born when Adam was aged 130 years old.
I can prove it with Scripture:

Genesis 4:25-26
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.


Genesis 5:3-4
3-And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

I'm not here to play with words. I'm interested in a serious study of Scripture . Therefore, I think it most important to be as precise as we can about what Scripture is saying. Saying "All inspired Scripture is from God" is obviously not the same thing as saying "All Scripture is inspired by God." Also, it is important to consider the problem of the canon.

There may have been 20 children before Cain and Able.
