Featured In the beginning...

Don't bother listing the geneologies --you're wasting your time.

 

Now let's see who can do basic math.
130 + 105 = 235 fb (from the beginning)

 

You either believe, or you remain in unbelief.

God already listed the geneologies, and gave us the time span in years.
If you can then say that you don't agree with the time span, then you may just not agree with the Creator.

 

Based on Bishop Ussher's dating principles the earth is 6,240 years of age. But he didn't make any edicts as you have.

 

How are you able to NOT believe in geocentrism, flat earth or slavery? There is plenty of scripture and Christian tradition to support it. If you don't then you "may just not agree with the Creator."

Uhhggg. No have those in cave.

 

You have made several posts and not answered the question. How old do you think the earth is? If you are going to mock someone's numbers, you must have a better one.

You either believe in the Flood, or you remain in unbelief.

 

You didn't make any reply to my posts #16 and #24.

 

That is because no question was asked. How old do you think the earth is? Who created the earth?

Genesis
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Gen 1:5
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Gen 2:4
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

Gen 1:27-31
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
...
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Wow, much closer horse race than I suspected it would be.

 

When there is a question mark it's a clue for you that a question is being asked. So please answer my post 16 question. In post #24 you can easily turn it into a question with your ever nimble-like mind.

 

Well, Mr. Rippon, I would like to continue your highly intellectual, Christ-like discourse, but some of us have to work. But never fear, see you at the same Baptist time (in your case, Chinese daylight savings time) and same Baptist channel this evening.

 

Humblethinker--in regards to your 1st post--Very good recommendation, even when I disagree with Walton's theology, I can appreciate his insight into ANE culture. He is a must read for anyone undergoing an in-depth study of the book of Genesis!

 

In 1644, Lightfoot published his calculations relating to the date of the earth. ... in his great work, Dr. John Lightfoot, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and one of the most eminent Hebrew scholars of his time, declared, as the result of his most profound and exhaustive study of the Scriptures, that 'heaven and earth, centre and circumference, were created all together, in the same instance, and clouds full of water,” and that, “this work took place and man was created by the Trinity on the twenty-third of October, 4004, B.C., at nine o’clock in the morning.”

He was unwilling to commit himself to any more exact estimation.

Well, there are two questions being asked:

Did God create the earth in 6-24 hour days?

and

Do you believe in a young earth?

So, I had to pick "not sure". :smilewinkgrin:

 

Hort's buddy, Lightfoot. He wasnt too far off.
