Alon, these may better express the point I was trying to make to bongo.

Luke 12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

II kings 12:15 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

II kings 22:7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

II Chr 34:12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music.

Neh 13:13 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.

Hab 4:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

I see no difference.

What do the following words have in common:

Faithful, believed, verified, nurse, nursing, continuance, assurance, trust, trusted, sure, established, brought “up children”, stand, steadfast, surly be,

They are all translations of Aman, aw-man H539 a prim. root; prop. to build up or support; to foster as a parent or nurse; fig. to render (or be) firm or faithful, to trust or believe, to be permanent or quiet; mor. to be true or certain; once (Isa. 30 : 21; by interch. for H541) to go to the right hand:--hence assurance, believe, bring up, establish, + fail, be faithful (of long continuance, stedfast, sure, surely, trusty, verified), nurse, (-ing father), (put), trust, turn to the right.

Wasn't there dark days in Moses' day. I mean having to throw your male child into the river is pretty dark if you ask me. all the first born of Egypt dieing is pretty bleak.

One likely reasons as to why the tribe of Dan is not listed in Revelation comes from the fact that they had an enormous difficulty with idolatry. They, early in their history, became devoted to such practices (in fact, the first Israelites to do so) and continued them up to the time of their captivity in 723 B.C. Its worship of idols began right after they fought for and secured their inheritance in the promised land (Judges 18:1 - 2, 29 - 31).
Later in its history, Dan's idolatry was further encouraged when they, along with nine other tribes, split from a united Israel after the death of Solomon. The newly formed Northern Kingdom was ruled by King Jeroboam. Right after he took power (in 930 B.C.) he became afraid his new subjects would travel to Jerusalem to worship God, repent of splitting from their brethren, put themselves back under the rule of Solomon' son and kill him. His solution was to set up false gods within the boundaries of his kingdom to keep the people separate from their brethren in Judah's Kingdom. The first idol was placed in the city of Dan (see 1Kings 12:26 - 29).
Dan also did not always participate with the rest of the Israelite tribes in defending Israel or going on the offensive. When the prophetess Deborah sang about her victory over Jabin, the pagan Canaanite king, she openly asked WHY this set of Israelites stayed on their ships (Judges 5:17). As a balance, it has to be admitted that another tribe (Asher) was also slack in the battle Deborah sung about.
As a sidelight, the most well-known Biblical person from the tribe of Dan was Samson. Although he was a judge of Israel for twenty years and known for his miraculous strength, he was somewhat of a carnal man (not very spiritual) for a good part of his life.

Hermes was the Greek name for the Egyptian god Thoth(Thotmose, or the Ibis is born, was the name of several pharaohs). This god was know as Mercy to the Romans.

Acts 14:12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

So really it is not Greek mythology that we have trouble with. It is Egyptian mythology that is still chasing the fleeing people of the Lord.

The bases of Egyptian mythology is hidden knowledge. The hidden knowledge is controlled by the kings who were worshipped as god. That is way God became so upset when Israel wanted a king like the other nations.

It doesn't.

Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Since Jesus (salvation) is the one that rose from the dead, and here testifies that someone returning from the dead is not a sufficient witness to persuade someone who rejects Moses (rescued) and the prophets (inspired men), how is it that Christians affirm that belief in Christ (anointed one) without reverence for Moses and the prophets is the only way. If you have accepted the witness of Christ returning from the dead, you have either accepted the witness of Moses and the prophets or will do so when they are presented to you. To do other wise is to make Christ a liar.

I was having a little laugh at drummer boy’s expense. You are right though, about no wedding or vows in Adam and Eva’s marriage. Of course there is no requirement of either to constitute a marriage.
The basis of Marriage: Becoming one flesh:
Gen 2: 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Gen 4: 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife;
Adam became one flesh, with Eva, when he joined with or knew her. Therefore they were married.
I Cor 6: 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
Even in the defiled state consummation constitutes a marriage or become one flesh. This fallen state of marriage is what gives rise to the “need” for weddings, vows and contracts. Bride price/dowry/gift equates to what price a man is willing to pay to receive a wife. The bride price will be used to care for the woman in the event the man turns her out and she returns to her father’s house. One example of a bride’s price is seven years labor that Jacob, heel catcher, offered for Rachel, ewe.

So Adam had everything, until Eva eat him out of house and home.
