What's this then?
Jude 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
That was a little after Adam's time ... but God's translators took care of it.
"Star" in the Bible can mean: star (Matthew 2:2), planet (Jude 13), or asteroid (Revelation 8:11).
Binary stars?
Um, like I said, that verse actually does refer to planets, in fact the Greek term used there is the very same term from which the English word "planet" derives from.
Sorry, planets are not stars.
Well, your Wham-O Magic Planet Finder shoulda done a better job.
Clyde Thompson got too much credit, didn't he?
And imagine Mr. Lowell, lending his initials to something he thought was another planet.
And yet God didn't provide any documentation as to what a Planet is.
Or did Adam forget to write that down in English?
I'm going to end this conversation by agreeing with PGP on a technical note.Sorry, planets are not stars.
Um ... it does? have you tried it?It all gets so hard to be a literalist.
If you're talking about the Flood, maybe God didn't want to see you guys harping on why Noah was aboard the Ark for a year, or why birds had to board the Ark, or why the drowned just didn't vacate the area, or why the Ark was even built, or ...How about "earth" in the bible can mean: "land?"
So you could whine the word didn't exist until the 1630's? therefore the KJB was written much later?Why did the perfected and guided writers of the KJV1611 not properly translate "wandering stars" to "planets" in Jude or to something more appropriate in Revelations?
Leviticus, chief -- Leviticus 11.Afterall, you claim that since bats are referred to as "fowl" in GEN that it must be a different kind of bat, rather than just a different definition of "fowl."
I'll say this much ... if this is you guys' ideas of interpreting the Bible literally, I'd stay an allegorist, if I were you.Also using the First Definition (That AV seems to like doing, ignoring other possible definitions)
wandering present participle of wan·der (Verb)
Verb
1) Walk or move in a leisurely, casual, or aimless way.
20 Move slowly away from a fixed point or place: "please don't wander off again".
So they don't Wonder either as it's not a leisurely , casual or aimless way.
aim·less Adjective Without purpose or direction.
so they're neither wondering or stars.
I'll say this much ... if this is you guys' ideas of interpreting the Bible literally, I'd stay an allegorist, if I were you.
Um ... it does? have you tried it?
You're right, God didn't provide any documentation as to what a planet is that would suit the ... um ... academically-elite here.
He sends us instead, to explain it to you guys.

Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
You can't, either -- so quit whining about those who at least do come up with something.As if the wise translators working hand in glove with God couldn't even conceive of a phrase that would describe an animal that no longer existed?
I personally believe that God could find more appropriate ways to communicate with people who made it past high school.
