| "Rick C. Hodgin" <rick.c.hodgin@gmail.com>: Jun 04 08:36PM -0700 I came across an interesting factoid today: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+5%3A3%2C5%3A6%2C5%3A9%2C5%3A12%2C15%2C18%2C21%2C25%2C28-29%2C7%3A6%2C11%3A10%2C11%3A12%2C11%3A14%2C11%3A16%2C11%3A18%2C11%3A20%2C11%3A22%2C11%3A24%2C11%3A26&version=KJV If you follow the genealogy from Adam to Abraham, you total 1948 years. It's generally believed Jesus was born 4 B.C. to 6 B.C.. Israel became a nation in 1948, making it 1952 to 1954 years. Months, however, are not recorded in the Bible for these births, but only their years. So, if you factor in the variance that could exist for the months that are involved, it could literally add up to be exactly the same number of days: Genesis: Adam to Seth 130 years 5:3 Seth to Enos 105 years 5:6 Enos to Cainan 90 years 5:9 Cainan to Mahalaleel 70 years 5:12 Mahalaleel to Jared 75 years 5:15 Jared to Enoch 162 years 5:18 Enoch to Methuselah 65 years 5:21 Methuselah to Lamech 187 years 5:25 Lamech to Noah 182 years 5:28-29 Noah to the flood 600 years 7:6 Flood to Arphaxad 2 years 11:10 Arphaxad to Salah 35 years 11:12 Salah to Eber 30 years 11:14 Eber to Peleg 34 years 11:16 Peleg to Reu 30 years 11:18 Reu to Serug 32 years 11:20 Serug to Nahor 30 years 11:22 Nahor to Terah 29 years 11:24 Terah to Abraham 70 years 11:26 ----------------------------------------------- Total: 1948 years Israel became a nation again in one day, on May 14, 1948, by a United Nations vote. God does things like this in scripture. Dates observed as having occurred in the past have another representation when you revisit the meaning of the time interval. In one case it may mean 7 years, in another case it may mean 49 years. It's quite amazing to see. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

If I was to put on my pseudo-critical thinking hat and at least consider some of what you say might be true then given average lifetimes of that era I would conclude from those figures that everything prior to Genesis 11:12 is a fiction and everything after that is possibly true but of course you, due to your fucktarded stubbornness and your belief that the entire Old Testament is literally true without even considering the possibility that as a collection of books some of it might just be made up, you wouldn't even consider that. Of course if I put my real critical thinking hat on the entire Bible is a man-made fiction and as such is all fictional bullshit but I would agree with you on one point: those figures are interesting but only for the reason I gave above. /Flibble -- "Talking snakes with legs changed into snakes." - Rick C.

The Earth of God was lost during the flood, and lifespans began to decrease significantly. The original Earth as described in Genesis had some kind of ice shield up above the air. It created a different atmospheric pressure, kept out certain types of harmful rays from the sun, caused the sky to appear different and the daylight to not be so direct and harsh, and the night lights to be more dispersed and giving off more light than we see today during the night. During the flood, the Bible says the fountains of the deep broke open (water coming up from the Earth) and the windows of Heaven were opened. Those windows were the ice shields. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+7%3A11-24&version=NIV;KJV 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Note there also it says "In the six hundredth year," which many have studied and believe is analogous to the 6,000th year. Note also that it records the month and the day here, which is unusual for things in scripture. Only certain visions record that much detail, only certain events. The rest say "in the Nnth year of the reign of so-and-so" and it doesn't give greater detail. These are all clues the way God has conveyed this information to us in the Bible, so that those who "study to show themselves ap- proved of God" will be able to see them, and the rest will con- sider them lunacy and not seek any further. ----- Some additional thoughts I've had to consider regarding the 1948 years: It was 1948 years +/- months from Adam to Abraham. It was in the year 1948, and approximately 1954 to 1956 years, from Jesus to Israel being made a nation again. It was approximately 74 to 76 years before Israel was destroyed as a nation when Jerusalem was destroyed in A.D. 70. If we reference that May 14, 1948 year as being the starting point of that same 74 to 76 years (from Jesus' birth to the destruction of Israel as a nation), it would mean that 1948 + 74 to 76 years would be the end-times, which would put it in the 2022 to 2024 time frame. It's interesting to note the wording used by the King James authors when they refer to the end time when the rapture takes place: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+15:52&version=NIV;KJV 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. President Trump's second term would end in January, 2025. It's just one of those signs the Watchmen are called to watch for. Will it happen at that time? Before? Nobody knows except for God Himself. We look for the signs, and convey them to others, looking for those patterns, those prior things recorded in scripture before that did happen, as patterns of what will happen again. -- Rick C.

A) Your bible is false. B) Your god the existence of which is predicated on your bible being true is, given (A), also false. /Flibble -- "Talking snakes with legs changed into snakes." - Rick C.
