A Simple Mathematics For All Christians To Know by Addietunes(m): 11:11pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
The Bible tells us that: Adam lived 930 years. (Genesis 5:5) Seth lived 912 years.(Genesis 5: Methuselah lived 969 years.(Genesis 5:27) And Noah lived 950 years. (Genesis 9:29). If we calculate those years, they are close to 4000 years. If we add up the generation of moses, Abraham, david, and jesus . I'm sure they would be more than 2000years all making 6000 years. Also according to the bible, Jesus died 2000 years ago. But the bible said the world is only 6000 years old. I'm not that good at mathematics but i'm sure there is an error somewhere. Either that or our bible writers couldn't count. |

Addietunes: Yes there is an error somewhere and it's from you. Did you consider that the time frame in which this patriarchs lived is not exactly sub sequential after another? But intertwined within specific time and age of there existence or at which they were given birth to. For example you are in existence and fully grown I believe, Buhari is 72 and am sure you are not up to 30 yet but lets assume u are 30 we cant add up your age and that of Buhari and try to compare it within the time frame or time line of you both existence though the sum up might be a 102 years but the time frame of you both can not be up to 100 years or even 80 because there is an overlap between your age and Buhari's. Op. I urge u to do more research on the questions u raised plus try to understand the term "timeline" 5 Likes 1 Share |

Pls kindly quote the scriptures that says the world is only 6,000yrs old. Also note that those parent lived for many years before giving birth to the children. It makes no sense adding all their years together. Addietunes: 2 Likes |

Maamin:You ve got to be kidding me, why is it that christians always love to defend their beliefs without reasoning? Well according to my post there, Adam and Seth are only the ones in the same timeline. If you can still calculate, you would notice the error, by the way, try to reason this time and not just saying whatever that pops into your brain. |

Addietunes: You obviously didn't understand the point Maamin was making. Adam was 130 when he gave birth to Seth (Gen 5v3). And Adam died at the age of 930 (Gen 5v5). Meaning that Adam was still alive for the first 800 years of Seth's life. Seth was 800 when Adam died. And Seth died at the age of 912 (Gen 5v8). So for you to get the time frame that elapsed between when Adam was born to the time Seth died. You can't get it by adding Adam's age to Seth's age (930 + 912). That will presume that Seth was born after Adam died. But Adam was only 130 when Seth was born. So if Adam was 130 when Seth was born and Seth lived for 912 years. The total time frame will be: 130 + 912 = 1042 Not; 930 + 912 = 1842 Also Seth was 557 years and Adam was 687 years when Methuselah was born; meaning that Seth still lived for the first 355 years of Methuselah's 969 years; and Adam still lived for the first 243 years of Methuselah's life. So the total timeframe between Adam's birth and Methuselah's death would be: 130 + 557 + 969 = 1656 Not; 930 + 912 + 969 = 2811 Their lifetimes intersected, some lived in eachother's lifetimes. So you can't get the correct total timeframe by adding up the age they died. That will give you a wrong overbloated figure. Shalom! 3 Likes |

Addietunes: If you know the person typing behind this keyboard, you will understand am not the religious type, it amaze me why you are already thinking am a christian but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I hate lazy students that cant make simple meaning or assessment of issues. Here is their timeline from Wiki,please help yourself out of your misery. And dont bother Quoting me again cause I will not reply you.. I dont talk much. The timeline of the Tanakh can be estimated using the ages given in Genesis and Jubliees. Starting with the creation of Adam and adding the information when his son was born, the age of his son, etc. this gives a timeline from Adam's creation to the death of Jacob 2255 years later (according to the Masoretic text, the Septuagint timeline is significantly longer). 1 - Adam (generation 1) is created.[1] 130 - Adam and Eve receive a son, Seth (generation 2) 235 - Enosh is born (generation 3) 325 - Kenan is born (generation 4) 395 - Mahalaleel is born (generation 5) 460 - Jared is born (generation 6) 622 - Enoch is born (generation 7) 687 - Methuselah is born (generation "Methuselah" can be translated "when he dies it comes."[citation needed] 874 - Lamech is born (generation 9) 930 - Adam dies, aged 930 987 - Enoch taken up by God (did not die [Gen5:24]), aged 365 1042 - Seth dies, aged 912 1056 - Noah is born (generation 10) 1140 - Enosh dies, aged 905 1235 - Kenan dies, aged 910 1290 - Mahalaleel dies, aged 895 1422 - Jared dies, aged 962 1556 - Noah has three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth (generation 11) 1651 - Lamech (Noah's father) dies, aged 777 1656 - Methuselah dies the same year as the flood comes, aged 969 1658 - Arpachshad is born (generation 12) 1693 - Shelah is born (generation 13) 1723 - Eber is born (generation 14) 1757 - Peleg is born (generation 15) 1787 - Reu is born (generation 16) 1819 - Serug is born (generation 17) 1849 - Nahor is born (generation 18) 1878 - Terah is born (generation 19) 1948 - Abraham is born (generation 20) 1958 - Sarah, Abrahams wife, is born 1996 - Peleg dies, aged 239 - this is the first death mentioned in the Bible after the flood 1997 - Nahor dies, aged 148 2006 - Noah, generation 10 after Adam, dies at the age of 950 2026 - Reu dies, aged 239 2034 - Ishmael is born (generation 21) 2048 - Isaac is born (also generation 21) 2049 - Serug dies, aged 230 2083 - Terah dies, aged 205 2085 - Sarah dies 2088 - Isaac is married at the age of 40, to Rebecca 2096 - Arpachshad dies, aged 438 2108 - Jacob is born, with his twin Esau (generation 22) 2123 - Abraham dies, aged 175 2126 - Shelah dies, aged 433 2156 - Shem dies, aged 600 2187 - Eber dies, aged 464 2228 - Isaac dies, aged 180 2238 - Jacob moves to Egypt at the age of 130 2255 - Jacob dies in Egypt, aged 147 2 Likes |

Addietunes: You Dont calculate those biblical exagerations that way despite am agnostic aka atheist. The ways it goes was that When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father. Same goes on and on. So adam wasnt 830 yrs b4 he gave birth to seth. All of them continue living till each father gave to the ghost. Careful calculation will amount to 2000 yrs or so |

Very nice, People are waking up, it is the time. In truth it is 6101 years today, The non-black people can not find their history past this time range (4000BC). Adam was the first non-black people. people i say, not one man. People lived much longer based on how they eat and what they eat. The world is trillions and trillions of years old, The only and the ony who existed before the universe or time are the Black people. read https://www.nairaland.com/2163386/african-blackroots-science-religion-science Addietunes: 1 Like |

Maamin:Did you bother reading any post of this conversation? I gave an account of a christian cult asserting the earth to be 6000 years old....you asked follow up questions on that(which is a normal thing to do), then went on to ask for "evidence" in the "bible" from someone who doesn't hold that belief(which is me)... If anyone is presenting a strawman(i.e misrepresenting a case), then it's you. |

davien: Mr. the age of the earth is not my problem here...my question was over the claims that Adam lived alongside dinosaurs and I asked which evidence do you have for that and you referred me t one "ken ham and dinosaurs"...which sounds like a fairy tale to me..and I said I would have taken you seriously if it were from the bible which I believe in and base my argument. You dont have to belief in the bible to refer to it just like you didnt take "ken ham and dinosaurs" for truth before pointing to his article as your source. Now in a nutshell, since this is not from the bible which I strongly believe in then your "ken ham and dinosaurs" story is..... In my dustbin right now. |
