    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    What about them? What about the Gnostic writings ... Do they say anything relevant to the question? What about the Book of Mormon? This is the "Bible Study" forum, so I will restrict MY efforts to the 66 books in MY Bible. (You are free to explore anything that your heart desires, but I will...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Asked and answered: Read Numbers 26 and for the sake of this exercise assume that NOBODY EVER DIES. Count every male decadent from LEVI to the generation of Moses and the Exodus. Compare that to the total number of males in the tribe of Levi given in the census of Numbers 26. Which is more...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Asked and answered. How is it possible that there were tens of thousands of them a generation later? Moses had LOTS of children? Jews are STILL sons and daughters of Abraham. Abraham is their father. Yet they were not born thousands of years ago and Abraham is not still alive. You are...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    From Numbers 26, I suspect a telescoping of generations. There are too many people for that to be a direct “family tree” leaving no generations out. The generations in the genealogies of Jesus (Gospels) employ a telescoping of generations. So in modern English, it might read Korath was the...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Please present your data, or at least direct people to where they can find it for themselves. From the information you have presented, my initial idea is ... “you miscounted”. More specific answers require more specific questions.

    On the Bible and DIVORCE

    I can clearly quote the judgement of God against the "golden calf incident". Please quote the judgement of God against "shechaniah speaking unlawfully for divorce" that we may be in agreement on the judgement of God.

    On the Bible and DIVORCE

    The devil is in the details. Were they Godly wives being unjustly divorced by their husbands, or were they like Solomons wives leading them into idolatry? I neither know or care (as I do not live under the Law, and they have already gone on to their Judge). I merely object to the assumption...

    On the Bible and DIVORCE

    Ruth 1:6-18 [NKJV] Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had visited His people by giving them bread. Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law...

    On the Bible and DIVORCE

    From another topic (moved to avoid derailing): My first question is: When is a marriage really a marriage? Let is examine the LAW of God in Israel in Ezra’s day. God forbade the Jews from marrying non-Jewish women (that is why Ezra was upset). So is a marriage forbidden by God really a...

    O.T. Canon Lists

    Off topic, non sequitur, trolling rant. Start a new topic if you REALLY want people to bash the RCC.

    What are some good scriptural insights that you get out of the book of Judith?

    It is not related at all, but the last few posts seemed to be heading into “books I like” territory.

    What are some good scriptural insights that you get out of the book of Judith?

    I liked “The Prayer of Jabez” by Wilkinson. :cool:

    US Security Council Israel-Palestine conflict

    I completely ignore the eschatological aspects of both Daniel and Revelation and focus on the “daily application” aspect of what those books have to say. The 70 weeks will come whether I understand them or not; what matters is what I do with the 70 years (?) that God leaves me on this Earth.

    If the angels sleeping with women caused their offspring to become giants, then how did the grapes get so big?

    Obviously, demons were banging the grapes, too. :eek:

    Was Ezra a prophet?

    Which is irrelevant in a topic on Ezra. The Westminster Confession of Faith and The Prayer of Jabez are two books that may potentially contain no contradictions of any other scripture, but nobody is arguing to have them added to the Holy Bible. Therefore that is not the only criteria for...

    Was Ezra a prophet?

    Your rejection of God’s law does not render Ezra incorrect in enforcing the Laws given by God that Israel was in covenant agreement to live under. Perhaps you could be very specific with what Ezra commanded and how that violates the Law of God as presented in either the OT or NT.

    Was Ezra a prophet?

    There are none in Ezra. That was my point and that is one of the reasons that it is accepted as Scripture. So how can I “Give (you) an example of a contradiction”?

    Was Ezra a prophet?

    Ezra does not contradict other scripture and is accepted as ‘inspired Scripture’.

    Was Ezra a prophet?

    And some of what he wrote contradicts the teaching of Jesus ... so which words were uninspired and which were ‘God-breathed’? It really is not that complicated. Maccabees is an important history book about an event that was blessed by God, but the book is not inspired scripture. That is why it...
