There are MANY sources of light other than our tiny sun! God used light from another source.
************************************************************************************************************GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.
*******************************************************************
The account shows the area where God created Eden was devoid of food- bearing plants
before the garden was formed. Not the ridiculous claim above.
************************************************************************
Yes the are other source of light but read it again the earth was created before the sun and stars and the plants before the sun. Now what scientific fact supports that? Now read Gen.2:5 it's clear, on the EARTH not the garden, no plants.
God IS Love personified- but, as summed up in Psalm 97:10- He loves what is Good & Hates what is bad!
Especially when He sees the Wicked harming the innocent! His Anger is Righteous
Ok, I give you that one.
GE 11:26 Terah was 70 years old when his son Abram was born.
GE 11:32 Terah was 205 years old when he died (making Abram 135 at the time).
******************************************
Lifespans were longer at that time.
******************************************
GE 12:4, AC 7:4 Abram was 75 when he left Haran. This was after Terah died. Thus, Terah could
have been no more than 145 when he died; or Abram was only 75 years old after he had lived 135 years.
*************************************************
The account shows Terah died at the age of 205!
Sorry dude but you din't get that one. Ac 7:4 Abram left Haran AFTER TERAH DIED but in Ge 12:4 Abram left Haran he was 75. Now do the math.
The King of Moab, Eglon was referred to at 4:21, not Sisera! What an idiot this writer was.
We must not have te same bible. Read it again and it's Sisra not Eglon.
The census was something David had come up with on his own, when he was starting to become arrogant.
It had nothing to do with any command from God.
Come on man, God did command him not to have a census and 70 000 men died for it.(even if it was David's sin)
Getting drunk doesn't make you Evil- sometimes the best people have made that mistake.
His daughters got him drunk, and carried out their desire-not Lot.
But Lot's wife died for much less and God distroyed two citys for sexuel impurity.
This is the only one that appears a genuine contradiction- research shows that Joseph was Heli's son -in-LAW by
taking Mary as wife; geneology doesn't specifiy between literal sons and son-in-laws
So your saying that the customs of the time influence the writer of this verse? I thought it was God.
The confusion here comes from the phony Church Dogma of Jesus being a newborn in a manger when the Wise Men/Astrologers are led
by the Star (from Satan).The account in Matthew has many details showing this was AFTER the account in Luke 2. Jesus is no longer
referred to as a babe- but as a young child. Herod has all the boys in that region from 2 years old to newborns, just in case. Jesus, Mary andtheir child are living in a house. And there's more, if you want to look into the historical details of the Roman Rulers mentioned.
The account in Luke is related what happened at his birth- BEFORE Herod, the astrologers, and the slaughter- and Egypt.
The confusion is from the bible. Matt.2:22 Joseph does not return to Judea (for at least 12 years, the son of Herod ruled for 12years.I did some historical research on this. )but in Luke we can read that Mary and Joseph return to Jerusalem year after year. Also Jesus was 12 in the story of Luke, do the math it does not ad up.
There may be contradictions SOMEWHERE in the Bible- but it sure ain't THESE!
