I certainly do not see any problem in saying what I said; I thought the topic was what was wrong with the book of Enoch and who considers it wrong. I do not believe it is the word of God, but it is a history (not necessarily accurate) like the Talmuds or Acts.
Yes....but Acts is history: Enoch is inspired.
Remember, Luke quoted Stephen in Acts 7. Luke quoted Stephen's speech acurately, but Stephen did not have the accurate Torah timeline on the history of Israel or of Moses, being raised on oral tradition, written down.
Paul had access to Torah and all the books,
Therefore Paul correctly writes "the promise to the Law was 430 years".
Galations 4: 15-17.
Stephen had a wrong history, and had Israel as slaves/oppressed in Egypt 400 years. Acts 7:6, 7.
Stephen was the first martyr, loved by Jesus, and caused the Jews to gnash their teeth at his witness of Messiah, so they killed him, but his understanding of his ancestors' history is proven error by the Torah, itself - and corroborated by the Jewish histories.
Moses' mother was Jochebed, who was the daughter of Levi. Exodus 6:20, Numbers 26:59.
Moses was 82 when he led Israel out of Egypt.
His mother was 128 when she gave birth to Moses.
Israel was in Egypt for 210* years.
The promise was 230 years before Israel went into Egypt.
Jacob was 130 years old when he went into Egypt -and settled in the best part. Genesis 47:8-11.
The promise was 100 years before Jacob went in. Isaac was 60 years old when Jacob was born to him. Genesis 25:26.
Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born. Genesis 21:5. Abraham had the promise before even Ishmael was born.
Abram was 86 years old when Ishmael was born. Genesis 16:16.
The promise was given to Abraham before Ishmael was born....several years, in fact.
When Israel entered Egypt, they were given the best land, because of Joseph, and were not oppressed until some time after Joseph died.
