Were the life spans of the patriarchs just an allegory of astronomical cycles?

    I am a Roman Catholic. I was baptized in 1967 in Corpus Christi Tx.

    I was a Catechist for the Catholic Church. I had an aunt who was one of Jehovah's Witnesses who recently died.

    I love my Jewish brethren.

    If that was true, then you would love me. But you've already shown how you feel about me. Good night. Again.

    You said that I don't care about Jews or the abused and got me so angry my family gathered around me out of fear and I could barely type. Only soneone with the spirit if the devil would say things like that. I don't love the devil so I don't love anyone with the spirit of the devil!

    "It jumped up a notch."

    "It did, didn't it?"

    Re. EasyPrompt’s post on the previous page summarizing his conversation with me…

    Whoops, he got me. Turns out I did facetiously suggest taking the whole Bible as allegorical.

    Doesn’t make me a liar, though, just a hopelessly incurable smartass. The rest of my arguments were sincere.

    I actually have no issues with the Bible; in fact I’m a big fan of fantasy, horror, and graphic violence (being a smartass again, can’t help it, sorry). 😁

    "just a hopelessly incurable smartass. The rest of my arguments were sincere."


    It's all good, @Vidiot, I am the same way.🙂

    😝(Stuck my tongue out at you, sorry can't help it...😁)


    "his...he..."


    I'm not a "he", I'm a "she". I didn't have it on my profile, sorry.


    Hope you have a good day, @Vidiot.🌷

    I don’t think EasyPrompt’s a troll.

    It’s why I interacted with them.

    @DesirousOfChange, Yeah, I'm not a troll. I've been hoodwinked many times, and I have been hurt by a lot of pathological liars in the JWBorg, so I am a bit oversensitive if I suspect someone might be trying to pull one over on me. Sometimes I react too "loudly" now as a more recent learned defense mechanism (for a long time I didn't say anything at all, just got steamrolled). I know it's not the best quality, and I am working on it, but I'm slow. I apologize for seeming "troll-like". I don't mean to come across that way.


    @Vidiot, thank you.💖

    I believe that before the flood they were counting months as years. Adam, 930 pre-flood years or months - 77 years old
