Yup

That's not what I said Are you aware there are several different " flood " terminologies in ancient literature, none of them referring to an actual flood ?

Oh, OK, I'll try to explain what I mean Reading something like " in heaven " and thinking Heaven is a place is like reading " he's in trouble " and thinking " trouble " is a place " he " is " in " when in fact it could be read as referring to the state of a situation Rev 19:14 ' And the armies which were in heaven ( en ) followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean " It's a directional preposition in Greek: ek - out of/from - preposition indicating directional outward a primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence action or motion proceeds), from, out (of place, time, or cause; literal or figurative. eis - preposition indicating directional inward into, unto, to, towards, for, among a primary preposition denoting movement inward; literal or figurative. en - in/by/with - preposition indicating fixed position a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively). epi - on/upon/over - preposition indicating position of being on or over a primary preposition whose primary signification is "upon".

I've never found the Bible and science to be at odds with each other, not one bit. I have noticed a glaring lack of familiarity with Mesopotamian metrology / science that leads people to the idea that the ancients were cave dwelling illiterate nomads, which is as far from the truth as Pluto is from the Sun

Some concordances have " kingdom " in Greek ultimately stemming from the root meaning " step / to walk / foot " βασιλεια basileia ( Kingdom ) => βασιλευς basileus ( king ) => βασις basis ( foot (sole of) a stepping, walking ) that with which one steps, the foot ) Speaks volumes of inheriting the kingdom by your walk with God

Flood ? You mean like bubbulu ? Noah's flood story is based on Mesopotamian astronomy, nothing more, nothing less

Are you familiar with exegesis in ancient literature ?

Right off the bat, the very first verse uses phrasing commonly found in Babylonian astronomy texts hope that helps some

His mother pays his dealers ?....seriously ? Sounds like he's very manipulative, conniving and enabled, and needs a swift foot to the posterior region.

Guys, there was never a period where they thought the earth is flat Once again, horizontal coordinate system

I was just going by the use of the primary preposition " en " ( in ) that precedes the words " heaven " and " hell "

Coccus ilicis, another interesting Biblical / history topic

I don't think heaven is a place, but rather something more like a situation

Are you certain it's a place ?

No, they didn't, and " Dr. Heiser ' should familiarize himself with the use of the horizontal coordinate system in Mesopotamian mathematical astronomy

Beats me, I've heard the " God is cruel because _________ " ( Insert reason of your choice ) claim many times

And what about that titlo ?

It's odd so many make the claim " the ancients thought the earth was flat ", this is certainly not true at all

Humans get culled by nature all the time

Cool name

Starting with basic Greek notations would be good

What about that titlo though ?
