Finishing it off today. Entertaining series. I think I need a switch in authors for a few books after this though. I had never read CH until Verity and this 2 book series. Very quick and entertaining reads.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Have you read any of her others? 2y
Mjm1 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I have read Verity and It Ends with US (edited) 2y

Late getting my reading in. I am going to make more priority to do it in the morning. There has been a few things I wonder about. Such as unclean meat? Enoch the only person to never die to go to heaven ? Oh and the giants, I would‘ve liked more talk about them. #biblebuddyread @BookBabe

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I had the same question about the meat and why was Ham‘s son punished for seeing Noah naked when it was Ham and what happened?? @BookBabe @EadieB 3y
CogsOfEncouragement J Vernon McGee provides good commentary. You can get a little of it for free here: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/mcgee_j_vernon/notes-outlines/genesis/genes... 3y
EadieB @Mjm1 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks The Bible teaches there are meats that are designated as “unclean” (or unfit) for human consumption. These meats include pork, shellfish and the meat of other specific animals, sea creatures and birds. These laws are not ceremonial, but rather, they reveal God‘s design of the animals and our digestive system. (edited) 3y

EadieB @Mjm1 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Uncleanness separated a person from being able to worship at the temple. The emphasis was not on dirt but on God‘s definition of what is pure. (edited) 3y
EadieB @Mjm1 According to the Bible, Enoch and Elijah are the only two people God took to heaven without them dying. It may be that God desired to save Enoch and Elijah from experiencing death due to their great faithfulness in serving and obeying Him. Some speculate that they were taken in preparation for a role in the end times, possibly as the two witnesses in Revelation 11:3-12. (edited) 3y
EadieB @Mjm1 Giants play an important role in the biblical story, particularly in relation to their occupation of the Promised Land. As will be seen, Israel initially refused to enter the land because of giants, and only men of great faith (Joshua, Caleb, and David) were able to defeat them. The “sons of God” were spirit beings that mated with women and produced the Nephilim. (edited) 3y
EadieB @mjm1 God sent the flood to wipe out violent humans, including the Nephilim, seen in the language of “all flesh.” God continued the human race through Noah, a new Adam, who was not tainted by Nephilim blood. In spite of the flood, giants eventually made a comeback and dwelt in the land of Canaan. (edited) 3y
EadieB @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Nudity was a taboo in the ancient Israelite society, especially the nudity of one‘s parents. To see one‘s parents‘ nudity had the connotation of sexual intimacy and at times even incest or rape. All of these things may be implicit in the narrative, though the text is not clear about any of them. It may just point at Ham‘s lack of respect for his father‘s sexual life which he indiscreetly witnesses. 3y
EadieB @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks it is Ham's son Canaan and not Ham who is cursed; and it is Noah and not God who curses Canaan. In fact, God blesses all three of Noah's sons in Genesis 9:1 and then creates a covenant with them, their descendants, and all the living things of the earth in Genesis 9:9. Nowhere either here or elsewhere in the Bible does God take that blessing away. God's blessing overrides Noah's curse, even in a literal reading. 3y
BookBabe @Mjm1 Better late than never! 😊 For myself, I‘ve found that if I don‘t do my Bible reading first thing in the morning, the day gets crazy and I keep getting interrupted and it‘s close to impossible 😬 (edited) 3y
BookBabe @EadieB Thanks for all your info & insights! 🙌🏻 3y
EadieB @BookBabe You‘re welcome! 3y
BookBabe @EadieB I knew Enoch & Elijah were the only ones spared of death, but I didn‘t know why, or that they might be the two witnesses in Revelation! 😮🤯 Thank you for sharing this! 3y
EadieB @BookBabe You‘re welcome! 3y
BookBabe @Mjm1 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @EadieB When I read about Noah‘s drunken faux pas in his tent, I was shocked and confused about why his son Ham‘s reaction was an even bigger faux pas than Noah‘s…and also about why Noah chose to curse his own presumably innocent grandson as a punishment for it. 😳 Seems a bit…harsh? 3y
EadieB @BookBabe Some stories were handed down such as the curse on Canaan (who the Bible lists as the ancestor of the Canaanite people) was added to the story as a way to justify the wars against the Canaanites by the ancient Israelites described in the book of Joshua. 3y
EadieB @BookBabe Ham‘s sin is that after seeing his father lying naked in the tent, he does not cover him as would have been appropriate. Instead, he tells his brothers thereby shaming him. Because Noah said that Ham should be a slave to his brothers, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the attempt to use the curse of Ham as an excuse for racism and slavery. (edited) 3y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you Eadie and Jennifer!! I have so many questions!! Now, I have some answers! I‘m so happy to be a part of this Bible study! @BookBabe @EadieB 🙏🏻❤️ 3y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @BookBabe I did think it was harsh! 3y

#litsylove has been the biggest blessing to me. My life started “going wrong” July 21 losing my job. August 21 losing my bf, Oct 21 falling.... spending almost 30 days in the hospital. I‘m in a wheelchair now for several months. Frustrating to say the least. The cards, books, and gifts you guys send are amazing. I am way over due on sending letters back. I think the funk is lifting and I will be writing soon. Love you all

Elizabeth2 I‘m so sorry to hear how hard this year has been. I am sending you love and light. Here‘s to better days ahead. 💕 4y
