1 | What explanation would you like? | Rom 1:18 | ateo | 67556 | ||
Charis, "Friend, what explanation would you like to hear?" I don't have a particular one in mind, and hence, the reason for the question. The problem I'm having is that people who believe this explanation have no moral qualms about changing the wording of the Scripture. The author of Luke never mentions Mary in the genealogy, yet they see nothing wrong with "helping" the writer tell the story. "...unless you are abnormal! :-),..." I certainly consider myself to be normal. However, there are those who would STRONGLY disagree! :) "Something (usually someone) hurt you, so you blame God, the Bible, and-or the church." Nope. It's not that complicated. However, I'm not allowed to give the details on this forum. But, if you want to discuss it 1-on-1, feel free to e-mail me anytime at jl_huff2002@yahoo.com. ateo |

2 | Is anything in the bible proven untrue | Ps 119:160 | ateo | 67116 | ||
PK, Read I Kings 7:23. The Sea was circular in shape. It had a diameter of 10 cubits and a circumference of 30 cubits. This means that the circumference divided by the diameter was 3. However, it should've been pi, which is 3.14159265... So, the answer to your question, "Is anything in the bible proven untrue," is yes. ateo |

3 | From where is the KIngdom Lydia? | Dan 2:31 | ateo | 60216 | ||
I trust you've read EdB's remarks, so I won't waste my time "proving" that Lydia existed. However, I believe a book entitled Who Wrote the Gospels was the 1st place where I ran across this concept. It was written by a professor of theology at Arizona State Univ. His main purpose was to give his thoughts on who wrote the gospels. However, he spent some time discussing Daniel in relation to Mark. The problem I have with saying Media-Persia follows Babylon in this vision is that Daniel 2:39 states that the next empire would be inferior. Actually, the Medo-Persian empire was 3 or 4 times larger and lasted much longer than the Babylonian empire. How could it be inferior? I'd like to add that I'm not claiming to know everything about Daniel's visions. These are simply my opinions. In fact the reason I joined this discussion was so that I could learn more about it! | ||||||
4 | What does the statue symbolize? | Dan 2:31 | ateo | 60174 | ||
It's more believable that the 4 empires are Babylon, Lydia, Media-Persia, and Greece. Why, you ask? Daniel was probably not written until the 2nd century BCE-the time when the Greeks controlled the area today known as the Middle East. Therefore, it seems the writer was trying to encourage his people during their time of persecution from the Greeks. | ||||||
