"the father of" usually means the inventor. Like Eve, "the mother of all the living" means the first.

This does not state that they invented them. The Book of Enoch, undoubtedly one of the books that Daniel was told to shut up until the end, tells us that at least one of the 200 rebel angels who set foot on Mount Hermon, by the name of Azazel. taught men how to make weapons of war. The making of tools was also taught, and women were trained to paint their eyes and so on.Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-49038243017059474092014-11-05T10:08:12.542-05:002014-11-05T10:08:12.542-05:00I think your blog is correct, and I would like to ...I think your blog is correct, and I would like to add to it with something I read some years ago--which is quite similar to what you said. The writer (don't recall who) said that just before God 'does something unique', Satan responds with attacks on children. I used to recall a whole list of things, but here are some that seem to support that: infant Moses survived a death decree, infant Jesus survived a death decree, children were sent on Crusades, today we have abortion and genocides, abductions of very young girls to be used as 'brides', and surely there are others to add......or is this just a coincidence and should not be considered? Anyway, some food for thought. Appreciate SO much your blogs. Grateful, too, for your Beth Moore critiques. They came at a time when I started seriously questioning, and I dropped out of a SBC Moore Bible study. The study leaders were very much on the defensive (not surprised) and finally I had to just cut off the discussion because their loyalty was totally blind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-64701866459190810962014-11-04T19:52:53.056-05:002014-11-04T19:52:53.056-05:00Regarding ancient people being primitive, in Gene...Regarding ancient people being primitive, in Genesis chapter 4, cain decendents are said to have invented stringed and wind instruments, metallurgy, and mobile housing (tents).
