I honestly have no idea if this is true, or even if the question is legitimate. I just find it curious. (1 image)

Bible scholars. What is the answer to this question Where did the people in the Land of Nod come from?

The answer to your ? is quite simple, Cain The bible says And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

It Never Says "Cain went to live among the people in the land of Nod" The Land of Nod, period. Nothing about people already being in Nod.

Hi, I've been reading 4um for a couple of years now this is my first post. Great place filled with great info from some great people, thanks Christine. The Lord says to watch, this is a great place to do just that.

Some here are "believers" and some are not, and Im ok with that. There is no "great commission" in the bible, so Im not here to convert or debate. Im not a Bible scholar, not a Pastor, I don't even attend the pointy shed clubhouse that passes itself off as church.

The man holding the sign in the picture maybe just in error, just as the "new versions" of scripture written in the last 100 years are. But the bible doesn't say so. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Many warnings, But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Don't "believe" what others say, including myself. Search the scripture (KJV) to find out whether those things are so.

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

And 4um rolls in another awake and aware humanoid.....

Welcome terry and thanks for your addition to this topic. My early experience with organized religion has left me totally ignorant in matters of the Bible. These comments have been interesting to say the least.

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Everything is now new, a new covenant. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. His yoke is indeed easy

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

The "chuuurrrch" as its know today on every corner puts people back under bondage

Belive this way, do this that way, every denomination causes division. You did a good thing by leaving that.

Thanks again Christine, I think I will go back to just reading 4um, I caused enough waves for now.

Don't hurry off - this was a nice way to pass some time with good discussion on a Sunday.

I enjoyed it.
