Subject: What sort of oil? |
Bible Note: We do have benefit of hindsight in this case - Asher's portion of the promised land was ideal for agriculture. I don't think its your intention to provide fodder for the countless Bible critics out there, but if you're saying that the Bible teaches that the earth is flat or square or both, we both know that can't be what the One that created it and inspired the Bible knows it not and cannot lie. So I guess I'm not sure of your point. As for Matt 24:4-39, I hope we all know that it is meant for the ones that want to know the truth - Christ's disciples. They were the ones that asked (verse 3), and we are the ones living in the last days that Jesus warns to "keep on the watch." (verse 42) Again, I'm only suggesting that people should know the difference between olive oil and crude before they rush out to waste their time spending millions on a false hope, or attempting to teach others the "deep things of God."
