Hello.

This is quite good, although I think that some of the details are a little off. I think I have seen the name Floyd Jones, but I don't remember the context in which I did. James Ussher too is quite familiar, but I never read his work. I believe I only saw references to it.

You seem to me to have some good scholarship and a love for the Truth. Would you like to talk with me? My email is ihedinobi3@gmail.com.
This is me totally, not only in Christianity/Religion but in every facet of human life. I just try to know as much as i can about everything i consider important.

I would love to keep talking with you here definitely, but will consider sending you the mail some other time.

Nigerians always say they are one of the smartest people in the world, they boast and beat their chest that they are so intelligent and smart and nobody can beat a Nigerian, but then again with all these bragging, Nigeria is not developed and cant boast of a middle class

My question to you Nigerian Folks, if Nigerians are one of the smartest in the world, why isnt Nigeria developed? pls do not mention bad government, i am tired of hearing that.
Indiscipline.

Nigerians, the majority, are very undisciplined, lacking in civility. This includes all Nigerians living anywhere in the world. Sorry to say.

So if God loves all of these written down. What is the guarantee that it was all contained in the Bible? If l present "his words" written in another Masonic book (for instance), will Christians accept it? Can you now see the 'Dilemma of Christianity'?



It will be in your interest and that of fact and reality that whatever was being referred to in this particular part of the Bible (BoR) does not spill over in application and reference to the other parts of the scriptures. Christians love to quote a certain part of it ..."do not add or subtract to what is written in this book...", And then generalize it to the whole book known as the Bible. To this day, this part of the Bible (and some others) is not even 'Christian'. Note that the BoR as you have it is not even complete owing to the editors removing certain parts of the text due to its 'vagueness' in their times. Funny enough, the person responsible for giving John these Revelations in the island of Pathmos is very much accessible and well known in certain quarters.




The Torah was not original Jewish.

To sum it all up. Give up in thinking even an angel can write down the word of God as it is into any human language. The Bible is just a book ( sacred though), which contains experiences of men along their evolution in matters of the Holy Spirit, Economics, Politics and their dealings with Extra terrestrials aka "angels of the Lord" etc. We are in better position than they are to know that a "Chariot of fire" was actually a space craft. When they said "Let's make man in our image", it was actually a bio engineering venture. Do not pin is down to the relative wisdom and ignorance of the olden day's people.
The Torah was not originally Jewish? cheesy
This does not deserve a response.

The rest of your post is a bit all over the place, i wish it were more concise.
Do you need me to quote other scriptures where God instructed the author to write down his word/message in a book or stone tablet?
There are countless others.

Christianity EtcRe: Age Of Earth - Scientists Lie! by missjo(f):
Amujale:
Not really, the Christian bible isnt a history textbook.

There lies no weight in an assertion that uses the Abrahamic religious textual narrative as a point of reference due to the fact that those texts peddle a false and unrealistic representation of history.

Humanity began in Africa, then our ancestors went on to populate the other continents.

Africans have been living on our planet for over 1,000,000 years whilst the current stock of Asians and
Europeans appears 100,000 - 200,000 years ago.

There are various historians that suggest the Earth is older than 4.5 million years old, yet majority make use of these values.
Humanity as we know it today has its roots in the garden of Eden. Everything that existed before the creation of this garden was destroyed by the cataclysmic events of the asteroids.

The bible also confirms the belief that humanity began in what we refer to as Africa, although it would be North Africa to be precise.

My comments regarding what science can confirm are in parenthesis below:

Genesis 2:10-14 New International Version (NIV)
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.
11 The name of the first is the Pishon (believed to be the "Ganges) : it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold (India)
12 The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.
13 The name of the second river is the Gihon (The Nile); it winds through the entire land of Cush (Ethiopia)
14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur (Assyria). And the fourth river is the Euphrates. (the joining of Tigris and Euphrates is the site of ancient Babylon)


Please note that the continents as we know it only formed over hundreds of years beginning with the great flood. North Africa and the middle east were one land mass going by Genesis since rivers cannot cut across a sea.

This is the biblical proof that the flood brought about land movement/realignment, not in the exact way it is now but as a precursor to what scientists call tectonic plate movement.

Genesis 7:11 New International Version (NIV)
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month— on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

Water burst forth from the ground as written above. The kind of force it would have taken to do this is enough to cause tectonic movements in the earth.

LordReed:
Good, that is what I want to know.

BTW on what did science and religion agree?
Adam was created on day 6, so there were five days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11.3 Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C.
Christianity EtcRe: Age Of Earth - Scientists Lie! by missjo(f): 2:02pm On Oct 04, 2019
LordReed:
So why are there human fossils older than 100,000years?
It is very possible that along with the dinosaurs who lived before creation, there were also man-like species roaming the earth.
Lucifer lost his place among the sons of God only to be cast out into a place (earth) where he made himself ruler of all things. By this, there was definitely something to rule over which might have included humans.

Isaiah 14:12-14 New International Version (NIV)
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

Nations here means people, not countries, but people.
And for Lucifer to be the morning star whose power could make the nations (people) lay low (worship), it means there was certainly a man-like species well before the creation story of Genesis.

In order to avoid a situation where Lucifer would infect the earth with malice and evil, there was to be a renewal. This is where the asteroids rained down and destroyed all things, in the process making the earth to be without form, void (empty), and covered in darkness (it is said that when asteroids hit with enough force, it creates a blanket of smoke and dust).
Christianity EtcRe: Age Of Earth - Scientists Lie! by missjo(f): 1:39pm On Oct 04, 2019
LordReed:
So you cannot say your god said the earth 6000years old or that creation was done 6000years ago, you are inferring from the text right?
I would be lying if i said that God himself said it anywhere himself. If you could read that again, you would see where science and religion agreed.

The 4000 years before Christ was calculated based on the ages of the people that lived between Adam and the period of Jesus' birth, much like the same way you will be able to calculate how old your village/town is once you know the first person to inhabit it and then start adding the ages of his descendants to the present.
It's just mathematics.
Christianity EtcRe: Age Of Earth - Scientists Lie! by missjo(f):
Amujale:
Our planet is said to be millions and millions of years old.

Most historians use approximately 4.5 billion years old.
This is also true. What the bible dates as 4004 BC is the creation of man, animals, the garden, etc, not the earth as an entity itself.

Lucifer the dragon had already been cast out due to his revolt and was inhabiting what we know as earth long before the story of creation. The earth became covered by darkness and was without form (this is a metaphor for inhabited), after the cataclysmic impact of an asteroid (scientists believe this is what destroyed the dinosaurs). Some bible scholars believe this asteroid hitting earth was a machination of God himself as a groundwork for the beginning of creation (anew, starting over)

Revelation 21:5 English Standard Version (ESV)
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

The initial plan of God in the beginning was to create a perfect world inhabited by man without sin. A world where he would dwell among man as he did in the garden with Adam.
This plan was interrupted by Lucifer, but God always prevails. The same asteroids which were used to make anew before the beginning will be used again as stated in the book of revelation, this time to wipe out all the remaining traces of evil in the world. This is the last plague as contained in the seventh vial to be delivered on the earth by the seventh angel.

Revelation 16:21 New International Version (NIV)
From the sky huge hailstones (asteroids), each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.



The age of creation should not be confused with the actual age of the geographical mass we call earth.

chieveboy:
My question is, where was it said by God that the Torah, and then the letters of these people in the Bible be compiled together into a book. Can you quote the Bible or any speech made by God that these definate articles and only them should make their way into the book?
The articles/letters/writings that made their way into what you now call the bible were decided by humans. This does not mean there are no compilations that contain all the masoretic scrolls, but one thing you can't deny is that God himself wanted history, stories, and his word , put down in writing for generations upon generations to read.

Revelation 1:19 (New Living Translation)
“Write down what you have seen —both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen.

Revelation 10:4 (New Living Translation)
When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Keep secret what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down.

Second question: Who compiled the books of the bible? Is there a biblical guideline followed in this compilation? Thanks.
The torah was first pieced together by Ezra the scribe, he was picked as a kind of leader after the Greeks conquered Israel.

The first time the entirety of the discovered scrolls along with the torah, were put together was during the Rabbinical Council of Jamnia (AD 90).
They were divided into inspired and uninspired books (Apocrypha), this is the guideline that was followed.

LordReed:
Where exactly is it written in the bible how old the earth is?
Of course, the Bible does not say explicitly anywhere, “The earth is 6,000 years old.” Good thing it doesn’t, otherwise it would be out of date the following year. But we wouldn’t expect an all-knowing God to make that kind of a mistake.

God gave us something better. In essence, He gave us a “birth certificate.” For example, using a personal birth certificate, a person can calculate how old he is at any point. It is similar with the earth. Genesis 1 says that the earth was created on the first day of creation (Genesis 1:1–5). From there, we can begin to calculate the age of the earth.
Let’s do a rough calculation to show how this works. The age of the earth can be estimated by taking the first five days of creation (from earth’s creation to Adam), then following the genealogies from Adam to Abraham in Genesis 5 and 11, then adding in the time from Abraham to today.
Adam was created on day 6, so there were five days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11.3 Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago).

Quite a few people have done this calculation using the Masoretic text (which is what most English translations are based on) and with careful attention to the biblical details, they have arrived at the same time frame of about 6,000 years, or about 4000 B.C. Two of the most popular, and perhaps best, are a recent work by Dr. Floyd Jones and a much earlier book by Archbishop James Ussher (1581–1656)

BrooklynGirl:
Kedu to everyone, I have recently returned from holiday in Dubai. I met one of the most beautiful men that I've seen in my life. He introduced himself to me at a tourist attraction. I'm an African American woman in my late 30's( he's 31). We enjoyed each other's company and went out every night while I was in town. He lives in Lagos and said that he imports cars and has a real estate business, that he was on holiday as well. He says that he wants me to visit, to meet his family and friends in Nigeria. He also wants to come to US to "hustle". Fast forward 2 weeks now he wants to get married in Lagos when I visit. MAJOR RED FLAG!! I'm still "technically" married to my 2nd husband (separated 2 years). When I told my "Ibo boyfriend" he says he doesn't care and we can still get married, even though my divorce isn't resolved I have filed for divorce.
I may sound naive or dumb but is he using me for a green card? Should I be suspicious? He says he wants a family with me but I don't know if he's sincere. I'll be in Lagos in November.

Among that evidence shown to the court by prosecutors late Tuesday were copies of social media posts saved and posted by Guyger some of which were about guns and killing.


Prosecutors also showed jurors text messages from Guyger's cellphone that revealed her critical comments about serving with black officers and how she joked about the death of Dr Martin Luther King Jr
These were not enough to give her a full sentence.

Even if she was innocent of manslaughter, she could not have escaped being charged with negligent homicide under Texas penal code.
