An Australian question

[solid_core]

First of all, I take all other data (scientific, philosophical, psychological, etc.) & compare it to the truth, the Word of God not the other way around. Science & archaeology most every time will confirm the Scriptures, as has been shown over & over again.

Hebrew genealogies are not the Word of God because they were not dictated by God.

And various Scriptures have various levels of authority and it always has been so - Song of Songs is not as authoritative as Gospels, for example.

You take the Bible print you have today like something that fell from heaven, perfect from A-Z, leaving its human authors and their style and time era out of the equation. Of course, you get wrong results.

How did the Aboriginal people get to Australia from wherever it was the Noah's Ark landed?

They didn't. They were here in Australia for 60,000 years. Came by foot most of the way, and maybe by boats of some kind for some of the way.

Your answer is in Genesis 11.

Now the whole earth had one language and few words. 2 And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.​

Hebrew genealogies are not the Word of God because they were not dictated by God.

Wow! Better cut out Christ's Hebrew genealogies in Matthew & Luke, BECAUSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY AREN'T THE WORD OF GODl Do you see what you are saying? Please wake up! God, by the Holy Spirit SPOKE THROUGH THE PROPHETS, including writing down various genealogies.

2 Pet 1:16-21 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power & coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For when He received honor & glory from God the Father & the voice was borne to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”

18we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with Him on the holy mountain. And we have THE PROPHETIC WORD MADE MORE SURE, to which you will do well TO PAY ATTENTION TO as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns & the morning star rises in your hearts,

20knowing this FIRST OF ALL, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s OWN interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Those genealogies were prophetic, helping to show & confirm Christ's genealogy, that He was indeed in the lineage of David & going all the way back to Adam. Those genealogies were from God! Wake up!

To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days The Earth Was Divided and his brother’s name was Joktan

That doesn’t seem to be supported by scripture.

 

[GingerBeer]

That doesn’t seem to be supported by scripture.

It is supported by facts.

 

[Emmylouwho]

It is supported by facts.

Your facts don’t support scripture.

 

[GingerBeer]

Your facts don’t support scripture.

Facts do not belong to anyone. Facts are facts. They are the truth of God.

 

[Emmylouwho]

Facts do not belong to anyone. Facts are facts. They are the truth of God.

But they don’t support scripture.

 

[GingerBeer]

But they don’t support scripture.

You might very well think that. I do not agree.

 

[Emmylouwho]

You might very well think that. I do not agree.

How do you explain that people lived 60,000 years ago? That is not scriptural.

 

[GingerBeer]

How do you explain that people lived 60,000 years ago? That is not scriptural.

It is a fact. It needs no explanation. It simply is.

 

[Emmylouwho]

It is a fact. It needs no explanation. It simply is.

You might very well think that. I do not agree.

I’d have to do mental gymnastics to rectify your facts with scripture. I’d rather do a crossword puzzle if my brain needs a workout.

Also, the break up of Pangea :

The break up of Pangea began about 175 million years ago long, LONG before the earliest ancestors of man.

But they don’t support scripture.

The truths of scripture are almost entirely spiritual not scientific or historical.

 

[Emmylouwho]

The truths of scripture are almost entirely spiritual not scientific or historical.

How many “truths” are there in scripture?

 

[JackRT]

How many “truths” are there in scripture?

A lot fewer than there are in religious belief.

 

[Emmylouwho]

A lot fewer than there are in religious belief.

Yeah, but how many? I can think of only one:
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Correction: two.

Eat, drink and be merry.
