With whom did sin originate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Before Adam and Eve's sin, Lucifer, who was called an angel of light, wanted to exalt himself above God and led a rebellion in heaven.

Ezekiel 28:15 "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

Isaiah 14:12,13 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God..."

By the time of Adam and Eve's sin, Lucifer had been cast out of heaven and had become "the serpent."

Because God cannot be defeated, He executes justice. By sending His son, victory over all sin and negatives will occur. Because of Jesus Christ, the adversary and his works will ultimately be destroyed.

II Corinthians 4:17 "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"

The world population is approximately 6.0 billion Out of every 100 babies born how many are born in North America?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Out of every 100 babies born in the world between 4 and 5 are born in North America

Based on the math below:

Based on the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division which can be accessed at:

http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/sixbillion/sixbillion.htm

In 1999 when the world hit 6 billion:

U.S. had 276.2 million

Canada had 30.9 million

Mexico had 97.4 million

Total of North America would be 404.5 million

So, out of every 100 people in the world, between 6 and 7 live in North America (6.71%)

However, the question you are asking has less to do with population, and more to do with birth rates. Using the source:

"birthrate." Encyclopedia of Public Health. The Gale Group, Inc, 2002. Answers.com 07 Jul. 2008. http://www.answers.com/topic/birth-rate

The world birthrate in 2000 was approximately 24 per 1,000 or

U.S. was approximately 14 per 1,000

Canada was approximately 11 per 1,000

Mexico we will give 22 per 1,000 (Latin America average)

So based on population at 1999 of 6 billion given above, each year 144 million people are born in the world.

US would have 3.86 million

Canada 340 thousand

Mexico 2.14 million

Total North America = 6.34 million

The percent of total world births would be 4.4 percent or, to answer your question:

Out of every 100 babies born in the world between 4 and 5 are born in North America

What is the difference between Hammurabi's Code and the Ten Commandments?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The polytheistic law-code of Hammurabi was assembled by human beings, while the Torah which includes the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.20) was, according to tradition, given by God (Exodus 24:12). The code of Hammurabi, and those of Eshnuna, Lipit-Ishtar and the Hittites (etc.), were subject to occasional revision, reversal, and eventual abandonment, while the Torah's commands were not. Many law codes limit themselves to legal matters, whereas the Torah intersperses its laws with moral exhortations and subjects of belief, behavior and attitudes. The Jews, by and large, adhered to the practices of the Torah, which calls for kindness, charity, scholarliness, the value of human life, equal treatment, and the abhorrence of promiscuity. The code of Hammurabi, on the other hand, calls for literal retaliation. Robbers are killed. Women are not considered legally equal to men; and landless men are not judged equally to landowners.

The story of Adam and Eve is a religious myth within the context of the Abrahamic religions, while Cro-magnon refers to a specific population of early modern humans in Europe. These two concepts come from different realms of understanding.

Who slapped the donkey 3 times in the Bible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Balaam, I believe. He slapped the donkey because the donkey kept running into the wall, pinning Balaam's foot against the wall, which was rather painful. He slapped the donkey on the tail 3 times, because the donkey kept doing it.

The donkey kept doing it because there was an angel with a flaming sword (fire brand) and only the donkey could see it. Being smarter than the man at the time, the noble steed chose to be beat over killed, saving his life as well as that of his master.

Num 22:21-33 GNB So the next morning Balaam saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite leaders. [v. 22] God was angry that Balaam was going, and as Balaam was riding along on his donkey, accompanied by his two servants, the angel of the LORD stood in the road to bar his way. [v. 23] When the donkey saw the angel standing there holding a sword, it left the road and turned into the fields. Balaam beat the donkey and brought it back onto the road. [v.24] Then the angel stood where the road narrowed between two vineyards and had a stone wall on each side. [v. 25] When the donkey saw the angel, it moved over against the wall and crushed Balaam's foot against it.Again Balaam beat the donkey. [v. 26] Once more the angel moved ahead; he stood in a narrow place where there was no room at all to pass on either side. [v. 27] This time, when the donkey saw the angel, it lay down. Balaam lost his temper and began to beat the donkey with his stick. [v. 28] Then the LORD gave the donkey the power of speech, and it said to Balaam, "What have I done to you? Why have you beaten me these three times?" [v. 29] Balaam answered, "Because you have made a fool of me! If I had a sword, I would kill you." [v. 30] The donkey replied, "Am I not the same donkey on which you have ridden all your life? Have I ever treated you like this before?" "No," he answered. [v. 31] Then the LORD let Balaam see the angel standing there with his sword; and Balaam threw himself face downward on the ground. [v. 32] The angel demanded, "Why have you beaten your donkey three times like this? I have come to bar your way, because you should not be making this journey. [v. 33] But your donkey saw me and turned aside three times. If it hadn't, I would have killed you and spared the donkey."
