Subject: Questions I'm trying to answer |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, I would hope that you would know by now about me that I'm about as straightforward as they come regarding the literal interpretation of the Bible. That's where you and I have our disagreements, because I insist that every relevant passage of Scripture be fully accounted for in any doctrine and understanding. It's kind of a thing with me. Instead of trying to "wrench" things from the Scripture, I would suggest just going with what's there. Doc, I am not suggesting that there is some "hidden meaning" to be ferreted out of Scripture. But there do happen to be some interesting things that people have noticed, going back some 1000 or more years. I've learned to not close my eyes to something plainly seen in the Bible. This thing about the names in Gen 5, its easy for anyone to research the meanings of those names. Do the math. But don't spend you life on it. I've now, for what is to me such a small, and so easily provable matter, been criticized, reproved, now mocked, - this should be a topic lasting no more than five minutes. Lets put it to rest - Please! Love in Christ, Mark |
