Bible Note: Amen Glenn Genesis appears uncomplicated in dating the parentage, and Biblical events. When the Bible says: Gen. 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: we know that Adam must have truly been 130 years old when Seth was born to unto him. Likewise Scripture says: Gen. 5:6 ΒΆ And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: How much plainer can God possibly make it for us. Seth was obviously 105 years old when Enos was born unto him. etc. etc. etc. All one needs to do is take all the begatting dates to learn the time table of the early patirarchs, and flood time line. Genesis in my opinion is an accurate account of the times deaths and events in the lives of the people of God. Why people like Reese want to make it more difficult than what is written is beyond my understanding. I don't know where Reese comes up with his dates that would contradict Scripture, and neither have I seen any such proof that Scripture as it is written can not be trusted. There are many liberal theologians in the world who would have us believe that the Bible doesn't really mean what it says. If God didn't mean what He said, then why didn't He say what He meant. Some liberal scholars have even attempted to insert a "gap theory" between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. Someone once said: "It takes four years of Seminary school to teach an individual that the Bible doesn't really mean what it says. I have as yet to find any valid proof that the Bible can't be trusted as it is written down for us. Until I see valid proof that the Bible cannot be trusted then I will continue to believe what Scripture says. Blessings New Creature |
