Bible Note: Ummm... okay... I take it you are using dogmatic in the non-theological sense. (Dogmatism is a part of theology that includes "things that can be known with certainty.") So, when the scripture says, Genesis 3:20, "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." that the fact that Eve -- according to Strongs (who wasn't a Rabbi) means "first woman" -- has nothing to do with the reason the scripture states for Adam giving her that name? I guess that would also apply to Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Esau, Jacob, Samuel, etc. etc. Or are you suggesting that due to the confusion of languages these names would be more certainly known than predulivian names? By the way, brother Ed, I have friends who are research physicists. They are not believers. But I still would tend to take their word on string theory over your own statements on the subject. On the other hand, I'd defer to you regarding the tenets of Pentecostalism, and generally dismiss their opinions on that subject. What can I say? Call me old fashioned! |
