The Fourth Generation

Difficulty: Genesis 15:13.16 God foretold the enslavement of the descendants of Abram (Abraham). but said they would return in the "fourth generation". The return actually occurred in the fifth generation--or the sixth. if you wish to count Abraham. The generations were: 1. Abraham: 2. Isa...

Age of the Levites to Minister

There is another discrepency in our modern Bibles based on the Masoretic Text. It is between Numbers chapter 4 and chapter 8. In Numbers 4 the ages of the Levites qualified to minister in the temple was between ages 30 to 50 Yet In Numbers 8, the ages are between 25 and 50. In the Septuagint however...

When was Light Created?

Most people do not know that in the Ancient Septuagint, there are two different words used for "light" in the Genesis account. The first word means "fire" or "torch" When God said "Let there be light" he was speaking of fire. The next word used for fire (when ...

The Two Geneologies of Jesus

Response: Luke 3:23 (not 2:23) does not actually say that Jesus"was the son" of Joseph. It reads that he was "supposed as being" or "was allowed" to be as a son of Joseph. See below: Vaticinus: "And he was the Jesus about years thirty, beginning, being , as was all...

A Tale of Two Donkeys?

Many skeptics have fun with this one. They will point out that Matthew 21:1-7 teaches that Jesus rode upon two donkeys. If you read our modern translations, yes, they are correct, however, the Oldest texts (Syriac Peshitta tranlated into English) read like this: Matthew 21:1 AND when he drew nigh to...

Meeting the Easter Challange

Using the Peshitta, I think this chronology of events seems to meet the challenge. See what you think.

Some Answers to Bible Difficulties

I also have a forum which is too extensive to copy and paste it all. I used to be a skeptic myself but found that archeology and history support the Bible tremendously. Here is the site (under Textual Criticism) that answers the following: http://biblehistoryevi.freeforumsite.com/biblehistoryevi-for...

I am just truly amazed at how everyone here (so far as I have seen) is so intelligent and does so much research. I don't meet too many Christians that know that much about the Bible, history, archeology, etc. Most of my close friends are very fundamental (wonderful people though) and just believe fa...

Yes, I agree with you on that. The problem though is that many times before, some scientists would date the stalagtites and stalagmites in caves to be "thousands" or "millions" of years old before they actually tested the rates of growth only to find out that many of them grew at...

Regarding the 55 year old formations from Mt. Isa the formations predate the mines. The operations took advantage of naturally existing cave system in Camooweal.

1. With regard to the use of the Hebrew word "Yom," you are partially correct that the word is used throughout the Bible for a literal day. It is not used exclusively however. Yom is used with great frequency to also apply to only the daylight portion of a 24 hour day and also for extende...

BeGoodForGoodSake Every instance is unique and does not necessarily apply to all cases. Most of the verified older formations are of calcium carbonate. Try re-examining your information. Do you have specifics on this? Locations where this has been proven? I do know of several other accounts short p...
