Blessings Looking,

      May I ask you a personal question?And I will tell you why I ask...........& I am being completely honest in what I am going to share with you................

     I have red lot of your posts & it seems that you do believe in Almighty God & that He sent His only Begotten Son Christ Jesus.....I do think you are a Christian(am I correct?)And you admit that you don't believe(or are searching)many accounts as they are given in the Word to be true,,,,,,,please correct any wrong assumptions I may have.....

     Okay ,here's my experience(a brief testimony giving God Glory)I was once alot like you in I needed to rationalize many things in Gods Word for MYSELF....it did not make sense,Christ was  my Lord & Savior but I had many reservations & constantly tried to discount or discredit the Bible..................the truth of it was that I wanted to be my own God & live life on my terms.....that was the real reasoning & motives behind my "looking for answers"

    So,my question is,what is yours?You already gave me the one about seeking the truth,,,,but why do you want there to be untruths....in other words,if any of Gods Word is not true,whats in it for you? I told you what was in it for me& it took alot to see my "truth",,,,,,,,is that a fair question?

                                                                                                             With love-in Christ,Kwik

There is no date of birth for Enoch, only Cain's age.

 

 

Oops...wrong guy...but in any event there is still no date...just the age of his father

 

 

Well,  I don't have the month or day of his birth, but he was born 622 years after Adam.  He was 308 years old when Adam died, and he lived 365 years and God took him.

Do your own research and look up the names in Genesis 5, they do not all mean what is claimed in your opening post.  Meanings had to be either added or twisted to get to where they make that statement.

This looked like a challenge! :D

1. Adam (Hebrew Edom)

Meaning: man, mankind, "ruddy (skin)"

2. Seth (Hebrew Sheth)

Meaning: Compensation

Although in Gen 4:25, it looks like his name is a variation of the word shiyth, which means appoint or set

3. Enosh (hebrew 'Enowsh)

Meaning: Man

From similar word meaning mortal man, mankind

4. Kenan (hebrew Qeynan)

Meaning: possession

From another word meaning nest...not sure how they got sorrow out of this :huh:

5. Mahalalel (hebrew Mahalal'el)

Meaning: boast/praise of God

Also: mouthful (just kidding )

6. Jared (hebrew Yered)

Meaning: descent

from the word yared meaning to go down

7. Enoch (Hebrew Chanack)

Meaning: dedicated

from the word chanak meaning to train, dedicate

8. Methuselah (hebrew Mĕthuwshelach)

Meaning: Man of the dart  ???

9. Lamech (Hebrew Lemek)

Meaning: Powerful

10: Noah (Hebrew Noach)

Meaning: rest

 

Hmm. I really thought this was true.  It's close, but not quite.  Anyone else have any input?

If you start with Adam and put all the births deaths laid out on a spread sheet, you can get a fairly round figure.

 

Since one can't be sure exactly how many months added to each year for the births, then you are correct in that it could be off 364 days for each generation. You could be off a plus, but I don't know about the minus part. 

 

With 800 to 900 year life cycles, I would not think that would be a huge thing.

You are correct, there is no minus, force of habit from my job.  It is not a huge thing unless one is trying to prove a particular year to try and make some cosmic connection.

What was your source?  We agree on Kenan, but this one only gives dedicated for Enoch

Then Shiloh is wrong, Kenan means possession, maybe.  It does not mean sorrow by any stretch.

Lamech means "to make low", nothing about sorrow.

 

I have already explained Numbers 2 to you, what about a "round about" or a "circuit" do you not understand? 

Let me help you out a bit...

 

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: “The Israelites are to camp around the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard and holding the banners of their family.”

 

The word translated as around is sabib, which means a circuit, or round about.  Nothing about a cross in there at all. 

Cardinal Directions are on a compass, and a compass is round.  

 

In Numbers 2, the Cardinal Directions are assigned to 4 tribes, the other tribes are NEXT to those tribes, they have no direction assigned to them.  They are not behind the 4, they are NEXT to them. 

 

A straight reading of Numbers 2 would never lead anyone to think to themselves "yea, he is talking about a cross".  That is an artificial reading added to fit a feeble attempt to make some cosmic connection.

    I

 

Kwik,

 

  Thank you for asking, I hope it is ok but I am going to address your question and the statement from Enoch above.

 

Let me start by saying that I do not have a problem with God's word and I would never seek to discredit or discount the Bible. Without the Bible we have nothing, we do not know of Jesus, we do not have salvation.  And yes, I am a Christian, despite the seeker label assigned to me here.

I have no issue with God, my hangup right now is with Christians.  I can relate to Ghandi when he said "“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”.  And I fully admit my experiences are limited to me and my location, but they were so consistent for years that I have a hard time not projecting them onto all Christians.   I have seen the Bible used as a club to bludgeon people into the right "shape" to fit in with those wielding it.

 

My issue is not with the Bible it is with what to me is a maddening inconsistency in how it is interpreted.   Let me give you a couple of example from the last day or so. I have been told that in this one verse the first half clearly means God used words and the second half is clearly figurative....By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.  To me that is so inconsistent, I view the whole thing as figurative, which to me makes a whole lot more sense.  Then I am told that phrases like "His ears are open" "the Lord regretted" "spread out His wings" and many more are figurative but the phrase "and God said" is clearly not.  It makes my head want to explode.  Pick and side and stick to it.

 

Then I have the different person tell me all that is needed is to be like a  child to understand the Bible and then they turn around and tell me there is a hidden code that only some guy with a PHD in mathematics was able to figure out.  So, which is it?  Pick a side and stick to it.  Is that too much to ask?

 

And what angers me the most is when I disagree with human's views of the Bible I am accused of not loving the Lord or having an issue with His word or I have my very faith questioned.  When that happens I go into defensive mode and lash back.  I know it is wrong, but I am only human and I am working on it.  If you think I say some things I should not you should see the things that I erase before hitting "post".  All I am asking for a fair and honest exchange of information.  I am very open to new things, I have changed my views on things almost monthly lately.  But put me down or question my very faith and you could tell me the sky is blue and snow is white and I will out of habit argue with you.

 

So yes, I am looking for answers, but not answers about God, but about us.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
