Lore:
Sometimes people read 1st out of context and 2nd with the intent to find fault. They would pounce on just anything without understanding. We need guidance from a higher souce.
( 1 Chronicles 3:18-20) "19 ... and the sons of Ze·rub´ba·bel were Me·shul´lam and Han·a·ni´ah (and She·lo´mith was their sister); 20 and Ha·shu´bah and O´hel and Ber·e·chi´ah and Has·a·di´ah, Ju´shab-he´sed, five." That's right! Count 'em, five! (This is the part where faith kicks in and you only see five sons...)
Pedaiah had Zerubbabel and Shimei; Zerubbabel had Meshullam and Hananiah. Shelomith was their sister. And then five more—Hashubah, Ohel, Berekiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-Hesed.
(2 Samuel 6:23) says "Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death" & (2 Samuel 21:8) "But the king took...the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul"
OrMerab (compare 1 Samuel 18:19 and 25:44, 2 Samuel 3:14 and 6:23)
(Joshua 15:33-36) "33 In the She?phe'lah there were Esh'ta?ol and Zo'rah and Ash'nah, 34 and Za?no'ah and En-gan'nim, Tap'pu?ah and E'nam, 35 Jar'muth and A?dul'lam, So'coh and A?ze'kah, 36 and Sha'a?ra'im and Ad?i?tha'im and Ge?de'rah and Ged?e?ro?tha'im; fourteen cities and their settlements." This time faith kicks in and you don't realise that if they can't even count to fifteen, they probably wouldn't even know what 70 weeks of days even is, let alone converting it into years.
Gederah (or Gederothaim). There that makes 14.
(Gen 2:17) "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day thou eastest thereof thou shalt surely die."
(Gen 5:5) "And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died." Although judging by the Bible's math skills, that's probably a couple hundred years off.
On the day Adam and Eve ate of the tree God said that they would surely die. And that is exactly what happened. They did die. If they did not eat they would have lived forever. Besides God took pity on them and gave them a chance to live. Don't you know God is merciful?
(Matt 1:16), "And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus..." (Luke 3:23) "And Jesus...the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli"
Luke 3:23 When Jesus entered public life he was about thirty years old, the son (in public perception) (as was supposed) of Joseph, who was—
son of Heli, son of Matthat, son of Levi, son of Melki, son of Jannai, son of Joseph, son of Mattathias, son of Amos, son of Nahum, son of Esli, son of Naggai, son of Maath, son of Mattathias, son of Semein, son of Josech, son of Joda, son of Joanan,
son of Rhesa, son of Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, son of Neri, son of Melchi, son of Addi, son of Cosam, son of Elmadam, son of Er, son of Joshua, son of Eliezer, son of Jorim, son of Matthat, son of Levi, son of Simeon, son of Judah, son of Joseph, son of Jonam, son of Eliakim, son of Melea, son of Menna, son of Mattatha, son of Nathan, son of David, son of Jesse, son of Obed,
son of Boaz, son of Salmon, son of Nahshon, son of Amminadab, son of Admin, son of Arni, son of Hezron, son of Perez,
son of Judah, son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, son of Terah, son of Nahor, son of Serug, son of Reu, son of Peleg,
son of Eber, son of Shelah, son of Kenan, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, son of Noah, son of Lamech, son of Methuselah,
son of Enoch, son of Jared, son of Mahalaleel, son of Kenan, son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God.
Joseph had to cover for Mary. How would she explain the birth of Jesus to the people. God asked him to do a noble deed. Compare the other verses in Matthew.
Also consider that Noah was instructed to take seven of each clean animal into the ark, even though they weren't even allowed to eat meat yet, plus the distiction between clean and unclean animals wouldn't be made untill after the exodus
Kindly provide the verses as your evidence please. Thanks
Speeking of clean animals, did you know that bats are in fact birds, and not mammals?
(Deuteronomy 14:11-18) "11 “Any clean bird YOU may eat. 12 But these are the ones of which YOU must not eat: the eagle and the osprey and the black vulture, 13 and the red kite and the black kite and the glede according to its kind; 14 and every raven according to its kind; 15 and the ostrich and the owl and the gull and the falcon according to its kind; 16 the little owl and the long-eared owl and the swan, 17 and the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant, 18 and the stork and the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe and the bat. "
So what? Who invented the word mammal anyway? A bat has wings and flew around like a bird. Do you eat it? No. Why? Because God said not to. Do you eat those other 'birds' mentioned above? ...and look how long ago that was! Then God must be real. Why would He say that if it was good. Do you really think man would know that?
(James 1:13) "..for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." & (Gen 22:1) "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham..."
Tempting someone and testing one's faith are two different things.
Multiple choice time, what where Jesus last words?
A: Luke 23:46: And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. B: John 19:30: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. C: Lore 33:41: And Jesus, forgetting that this was actually part of the plan all along, said, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
He said both and He gave up the ghost. What does Lore have to do with the bible?
(Leviticus 11:20) "All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you." (Leviticus 11:20) "Every winged swarming creature that goes on all fours is a loathsome thing to YOU." This is an example of translation error, one says fowl the other says bugs. Either way it's translated it's wrong. Fowl have two legs, not four. And bugs don't have four legs, they have six.
So what? Maybe you should study this a bit more. How many feet does a lizard have? Ever thought about reptiles with wings? How about dragons? Do you know all the animals, insects, birds or fish that ever existed?
(Matthew 13:31-32) “The kingdom of the heavens is like a mustard grain, which a man took and planted in his field; 32 which is, in fact, the tiniest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the largest of the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and find lodging among its branches.” First off, there ARE smaller seeds, like the orchid for example. (You'd think he'd know if he actually designed them right?) Second, the mustard plant is not a tree.
Check out the black mustard, which grows to heights of 3.7 m/12 ft in Israel.
I don't need to keep going to prove anything except to prove God. God bless you!
