Thank you, Phill, Have good holiday. I had not previously thought of anyone but the offsing being bounc by the first commandment with promise but I guess the point is to strengthen the family. It is sort of inherent behind the idea of separate spheres of authority in Romans 13. In related news, and going back to Covid, here's an article on the continuing decrease in the birth rate in Singapore post Covid boosters. https://peterhalligan.substack.com/cp/147489183
Thank you. Yes I think the family is God's primary building block for the arrangement of society - another aspect is that it was instituted pre-Fall. That article is pretty shocking, how long are people going to look the other way?
Although it's not being trumpeted from the media rooftops, Covid is is still extensive and cases are apparently growing. So, at least in terms of "what it said on the bottle" the vaccines are a failure. But maybe they are a success in terms of what they were designed to do. I am not talking merely of increased morbidity and mortality, and decreased fertility, but also in terms of pollution of the human germ line, every recipient's DNA apparently being altered. It is all reminiscent of the opening verses of Genesis 6. I would be most interested to know what you think about this angle.
Yes I’m not sure what to make of that. I wonder if it’s too early to tell still what the long term effects are going to be. (I just know that I’m glad not to have taken it!) But we may revisit that topic in the coming months.
I did preach through genesis not that long ago, the sermons are on Understand the Bible. I thought at the time there was a supernatural element in Gen 6 although it’s hard to prove anything!

I'm interested in your interpretation of the Gen 6 account. supernatural interference or the "sons of Seth"?
