The Cainites

With this post I will continue with the theme I seem to be following these past couple entries. Cause being the weirdo I am, when I come across a topic of interest I tend to go a bit overboard with research. So lets get started shall we, a quick google search for the definition of Cainites will provide you with these results: 

"The Cainites, or Cainians (Greek: Καϊνοί Kainoi, Καϊανοί Kaianoi), were a Gnostic and Antinomian sect who were known to venerate Cain as the first victim of the Demiurge, the deity of the Tanakh, who was identified by many groups of Gnostics as evil".

(On a quick side note if you look up Vampire: The Masquerade  definition of a Cainite you'll get an interesting viewpoint, but not one that I'd care to post on the blog.) Now that's funny, cause I for one always thought our present day translations of the old testament derived from the Tanakh. Also this is the first time I've come across the word Demiurge so I looked it up.

 a being responsible for the creation of the universe, particular in Platonic philosophy in Gnosticism and other theological systems. 

I always thought the deity of the Bible was Yahweh. I also thought Yahweh was holy and worthy of worship definitely not evil. The more I dive into this topic, the more clear it seems to become to me that Cain was in fact the seed of Satan and the bible itself makes it abundantly clear that Cain himself had children and descendants. Which brings in the timeline to the story of Noah and the flood. Speculation for the flood has it due to the Serpent Seed and reason for it was to rid the world of its evil. What if it didn't end with the flood? In the genealogy of Cain's descendants, a woman by the name of Naamah was mentioned Genesis 4:22.

Genesis 4:22 - And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

Why I raise this issue is simply cause women were rarely mentioned, unless they played a part in the history of the people. Which would answer why some people believe her to be the wife of Noah. Did I mention certain Jewish writings state that she was a Cainite? Was Naamah really the wife of Noah? Well that is up to ones own interpretation. All arguments aside lets say she was Ham's mother, I think the controversy lies with the fact that Ham without  a doubt must have inherited the genetic traits of the Serpent from her.  Thus, we see that both parties manifested the wrong spirit a trait that could only come from the Devil himself through the Serpent. Therefore Naamah was obviously a Cainite or a Nephilim However, Ham was not a Serpent seed as he was not a Cainite, but a half-breed Sethite. Likewise, Shem and Japheth also possessed the serpentine traits. Is this why some believe that the serpent seed survived the flood? Can the serpent seed remain until this present day? To many questions that will forever remain unanswered, I guess we will never know. I just wanted to present you with the idea...I'll let my audience draw its on conclusion.

Serpent Seed

Let me start off by saying that this topic has actually been one of the more fascinating ones that I came across in a long while. This is also the topic that sparked my interest and brought my attention back to religious matters. It should as well be noted that many adherents of literal interpretation would have you believe that the “Serpent seed” teaching is heresy. Though Proverbs 3:13 throws anything they have to say out the window. With out further adieu on with the show.

"Serpent seed, dual seed or two-seedline is a controversial religious belief, which explains the biblical account of the fall of man by saying that the serpent in the Garden of Eden mated with Eve, and the offspring of their union was Cain". ~ Wikipedia

The Garden of Eden, the forbidden fruit and the serpent, one the most know scenes in the Bible. What if it wasn't as innocent as it appeared to be? Lets take a look at the Bible verses and start with the break down.

Genesis 3:1-7

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

First off, in order to get anywhere with this prophecy we must understand that the word "Serpent" is just another name for Satan. I know this is really difficult for some adherents to wrap their minds around this, but even a 5 year old would have a harder time not making the connection. Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 are two verses that may help you out with making that connection if need be. Now that we have cleared up that issue hopefully we are all on the same page that the "Dragon", "Devil", and "Serpent" are all the same person. Now lets go a little deeper into the story and take a look at Genesis 3:14

Genesis 3:14 - And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

If you look up the word in Genesis 3:14 that is translated as “serpent” you’ll find that it is Hebrew word "Nachash" which also translates as "the shining one” it stems from word which means, “to hiss like a serpent” and can be used metaphorically as “whisperings of a soothsayer.” Is this starting to make sense to you at all now? I hope it is, I find it hard not to. Now, God calls Satan “the Serpent” because of his shining supernatural appearance, also his cunning and elusive ability to deceive others. Is this getting clearer that it was not at all a snake in the garden and more along the lines of a illustrious shining being? Apparently an angel! Whom Eve submitted to, and acknowledging him as a being of a superior knowledge. I don't know about you but I cannot conceive Eve literally holding a conversation with a snake, but I can understand her being captivated by an "angel of light”. The most  important and most revealing verses I can think of where even Christ himself even teaches about the “Serpent seed” in a parable is The Parable of Tares in Matthew 13. At the end of that parable Jesus explains that the “tares” were actually Satan’s actual children brought into the earth by way of Satan’s seed. It reads as follows:

Matthew 13:36-39

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

This only proves (at least in my mind) that the "Forbidden Fruit" that the Bible speaks of, is not a literal piece of fruit but is really referring to sexual defilement with the Serpent. I'd also like to point out that 1 John 3:12 also makes note of Cain being of the wicked one.

1 John 3:12 - Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

   Never was Satan’s wisdom so cleverly used as when he secured world wide acceptance of the traditional belief that what was Forbidden was an actual piece of fruit. This is Satan's deception in preserving his false testimony of the “snake” and the “apple” because it ministers to the acceptance of his falsehood. In this lie Satan triumphed in the hiding of God’s truth,  and guaranteed the stumbling of the weak in faith. I think I've honestly established that it was not a literal snake that tempted Eve in the Garden and more along the lines of the fallen one, but one lingering question remains. What is the “seed” of the serpent? What is this all about? Hebrew word Zera was translated as seed in Genesis 3:15 in this context it means "offspring“ (children). It’s self-evident that the Serpent’s “seed” represents Satan’s ��literal” descendants. Cain was Satan’s son! Now I can go on and on about this topic, about how some believe that Cain and Abel were indeed twins (Superfecundation). Or even how some even believe that some how Cain's descendants survived the flood of Noah, but I'll spare you the messy details and keep longer than what I've already have. I provided a heck of a lot of information here, and I know its a lot to take in all at once...so thank you for baring with me and reading what I had to say. I hope you enjoyed, and I will end this entry with one last Bible verse...

2 Corinthians 11:3 - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Curse of Ham

Leviticus 18:8 - The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.

Leviticus 20:11 - And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Hello everyone, I'm sure your thinking to yourself why I started off this post with these two verses from the bible (KJ version of the bible to be exact). Well I'll tie it all together in a minute, but lets take a closer look at the verses shall we. The two verses seem to be talking about the same thing but only Leviticus 20:11 takes it a step further and deals out the harsh punishment for breaking God's command. That's one thing I love about the Bible, no not the punishment...but it always takes the time to teach and after teaching it always seems to review. What I mean by this is simply this, the bible always seems to throw what it wants to teach you in your face and either a few versus or chapters later, it makes sure you were paying attention and retouches on the same subject. So what am I getting to with these to verses, well lets take a look at the common theme of these two verses. From where I'm sitting the common theme is simply what God holds as sexual perversion and that brings me to point where I tie things together.

Genesis 9:22 - And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his brethren without.

Now if were to take the same interpretation from Leviticus of seeing the nakedness of ones father and apply it to genesis, we get a whole new meaning to the story of Noah. So can it possibly be true that, Ham had slept with his own mother? It wouldn't have to hard for Ham to do so seeing that Noah was to drunk to notice...

Genesis 9:21 - And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

Just wait the rabbit hole goes even deeper, as we see in the next verse;

Genesis 9:25 - And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.  

Wow Ham sure lucked out there, Noah must have thrown that "Curse" a little to hard cause it flew right over Ham and slapped his son in the back of the head. On the other hand It could be possible that due to God's blessing of Ham that Noah was unable to curse Ham.

Genesis 9:1 - And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 

Was this the reason Noah was unable to curse Ham cause Noah doesn't (as no human does) have the authority to go over God's head and curse what God deems blessed. Or is there something more sinister in play here? Can these verses possibly be hinting that Canaan is the fruit of Ham and his mother's unholy union? If not this, then why place the "Curse" simply on Ham or ask God to remove his blessing and be done with it? Or am I simply over thinking the whole thing and taking the bible to literally?  I do find it interesting that ancient commentaries have also debated that "seeing" someone's nakedness meant to have sex with that person. The Babylonian Talmud  (c. 500 AD), argues that Ham either castrated his father, or sodomised him which gives thing a very unusual twist. Speaking of unusual twists when considering the Genealogies of Genesis 5, it becomes evident that the standard form of recording the offspring of each firstborn son, is to name that son and then say of the father of that son, "and he had other sons and daughters". The obvious implication is that such and such had a firstborn son (who is named) and then he lived a certain amount of years, "and he had other sons and daughters." Each paragraph reads the same, or has the same format, until we get to Noah. I guess no matter what I present for my case that some things are just not meant to be answered and are doomed to remain so. That's what I guess people mean when they  refer to "Mysteries of the Bible" for this I honestly think can be categorized just that. Though I do want to leave you on this note to prove my case of why I think that my interpretation is correct:  No less than 17 times in Leviticus 18 alone Moses uses the phrase “uncover the nakedness of” as a euphemism for sexual intercourse, and particularly for the sin of incest. Also the phrase more and likely has the same meaning in Genesis 9 that it has in Leviticus, for both books were written by the same author around the same time period. Well I hope you enjoyed this post and that you'll stay tuned for those to come, it's been a pleasure sharing my take on this...until next time.
