Exodus 33:11 For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Genesis 32:30 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: Genesis 12:7 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him.. Genesis 17:1 And the LORD appeared unto Isaac, and said, Go not down into Egypt Genesis 26:2 And the LORD appeared unto Isaac the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not. Genesis 26:24 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. Genesis 35:9 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan. Genesis 48:3 >> >> >> It is your claim that people born >> before Jesus should be condemned for >> not following Jesus. > > > From the time man sinned until now, God has always declared men > righteous and delivered them from condemnation through faith in His > promise of a coming "seed" (Christ) who would be their redeemer. The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
