61 | Where is this date from? | Gen 7:12 | Vintage68 | 215020 | ||
Hi BMyers Thank you for your question, in going back to give you an answer I found I had made a mistake, the following will explain. This date isn't actually from the creation of Adam. The date would have to be, from when they had to leave the garden. That would have to be when time actually did start for mankind. Because there is no way of telling how long Adam, and Eve were in the garden, before they were expelled. Time could only be calculated from the time they became fully mortal. Sorry ;-( I had a massive miscalculation. When adding all the ages, I inadvertently added the ages at the time of each death, instead of the ages at the time of each first sons birth. "oops" Therefore the date that I now come up with is ( 1656 ) For date of FLOOD This is my only source of information, for these calculations. Gen.5:3-32 3And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: 4And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 6And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 7And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 8And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 9And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: 10And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 11And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 12And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel: 13And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 14And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 15And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 16And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 17And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 18And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 19And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 20And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 21And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 25And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. 26And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 27And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 28And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 29And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. 30And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 31And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 32And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Gen. 7:11,12 11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. again sorry for the mess up Vintage68 |

Hi BMyers Just for a clarification on my part. I am stating that the flood took place in the year 1656 period. Not that it was a BC date. Time then started again as far as I am concerned after the flood. The experts with all of their educated guesses, are all coming from Exidus backwards to the flood. I on the other hand am coming from Adam forward to the flood. If you put the two time frames together it comes out to approximately 4000 - 5000 years from Adam to Jesus. Depending on the expert. As far an age of the Earth, that is a completely different matter. We all know and agree that it took 6 days for the creation, God resting on the 7th. But from that point on we have no evidence as to how long Adam, and Eve were in the garden before expulsion. So as far as I am concerned, it could be as long as the geologists say it is. We just don't know. Vintage68 |

64 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | Vintage68 | 214878 | ||
Hi bibleman From what took place at the end of that story about Abraham, we can determine that God did not have any intention in letting Abraham go through with the sacrifice of his son. If Abraham did not do what God had said, he would have failed the test. Thereby no death of Isaac. But in the last second, when Abraham had determined in his heart, to sacrifice his son, to God. That is when God stopped him, providing a sacrifice instead of Isaac. No death of Isaac God knows the thoughts, and intentions of the heart, when Abraham fully intended to carry out what he had been commanded to do by God, that is when he was stopped. His intent then was not to kill any chances of Gods promise of coming to fruition, but rather his intention was to trust in God, and the promise, in spite of any doubt he may have had. Obedience is better than sacrifice, especially in this case. 1 Chronicles 28:9 Romans 8:27 Vintage68 |

Hi again bibleman Just had another thought. The bible says where there is no law there is no sin. Just based on that Even if Abraham had Killed his son as you have stated. That act would not have been sin, based on the grounds that there was not at that time, any law about killing, murder, etc. Rom.4:15 Rom. 5:13 Vintage68 |

Hi humbledbyhisgrace Well to tell you the truth, that would be pure speculation. I can only go by what the bible says, and believe it. What are your thoughts on that matter?:-) Vintage68 |

67 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | Vintage68 | 214888 | ||
Hi Humbled I have added the brackets. Maybe this will help Rom.4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: (for where no law is), (there is no transgression). 1 John 3:4 (Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law): (for sin is the transgression of the law). Ok If you want to split the hair about the exact wording. Sorry:-) Vintage68 |

In looking at the statement made, was the integrity of the bible compromised? Did the statement, in any way change the context of the original text? Did the statement, in any way change the meaning of the original text? No, nothing has been lost in using the word sin, instead of the word transgression. You use the word "rightly (handling) the word of truth." I use the word (dividing). Who is misrepresenting the bible? I DO Vintage68 |

Hi bibleman Every question you have asked including your original question, seem to have the same thrust in them, they all appear to be trying to catch God in a lie, or a contradiction. It would help, if in the future you would address your posts. Vintage68 |

Hi bibleman Why do you equate the SACRIFICE of Isaac to God an evil act (sin)? The other places where the sacrifice of children are mentioned are only in relation to false gods, idols. I added brackets. This was the test, and the culmination of it. Gen.22:10-12 10.) And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11.) And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12.) And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: (for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.) Vintage68 |

Hi Wildoliveshoot The answer that was given was in relation to a question that was being asked, with the knowledge of SIN as we have it today, ie after the Mosaic Law. The question also said kill which was actually sacrifice. But this should answer your question. From Adam to Moses, there was no law. Rom. 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Vintage68 |

Hi bibleman This is your original question: "When God told Abraham to kill his son... why was that not sin and why was that not tempting Abraham to sin? Which would be against what God said in James chapter 1 about God NOT temping any man with evil." In your asking this question you were not being honest with the members of this forum, you purposefully with-held information. Information which now you try to use as a defense, for your being so obtuse in your reluctance to accept any answers as sufficient. By doing so, you denied those that were trying to answer your question, information that was pertinent to "SOMEONE ELSES QUESTION" namely, someone that should be locked up if they think God is telling them do kill. When you were confronted with your unwillingness to look at your question rationally, you again with-held this information, you just stated that you were talking to a friend. Granted you did ask a question, it was answered correctly. But far beyond that, you came to a forum for studying the word of God trying to get an answer for a person that needs counseling. That is not the purpose of the forum. If you would have posted the true facts of your dilemma, as you have finally done, you would have saved everyone involved a lot of time. There is no answer that will be sufficient for your friend, but the question then arises, IS IT SUFFICIENT FOR YOU? I will be praying for you, and your friend. May God Bless you Vintage68 |

Hi bibleman My intent was not meant to insult you, but when asking a question of people , those people need to know the special circumstances surrounding said question. Because the answer to your question is really very simple. There is no answer for a person that is suffering from a mental illness. There is no logical way of answering an Illogical question. Is that the reason you, have to this point been unable to answer it yourself? I did not say your question was dishonest, but we all need to know what the real reason any given question is asked. (common curtsy) Be Blessed Vintage68 |

Hi Humility Your question is, "What does the Bible say about gambling?" This is the only scripture that even comes close to speaking of gambling. Matthew 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. Psalm 22:18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. But as you can see, it really does nothing more than describe the same type of event that took place when the land of Israel was divided between the tribes. Joshua 18:10 Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions. This casting of lots then is nothing more than a fair way of making decisions that all parties involved would agree to. But to be answering your question. There "IS NOT" any mention of gambling in the Bible. Therefore any answer stating more than "gambling, is not spoken of", is only speculation, assumption, religious doctrine, or personal belief. And our gracious host the Lockman Foundation will not allow us to delve into such discussions, as per the terms we all agreed to. You will have to do the same as others have done, deciding in your own heart, what you personally think God allows. Vintage68 |

80 | what does the bible say about widows? | Ex 22:22 | Vintage68 | 217609 | ||
Hi Makarios When you say "Unmarried widows can be married again "- 1 Cor. 7:8-9; 1 Tim. 5:14 Isn't that a given, a widow would be unmarried wouldn't she? Isn't the following the criteria for determining who a widow is? brackets are mine. 1 Tim. 5:9,10,11 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, (having been the wife of one man), 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; Blessings to you Vintage68 |
